The Courageous Survivor: The Rewired Journey
I’m Paula Walters — a woman who spent most of her life in survival mode after enduring child abuse, domestic violence, and a near-fatal strangulation that left me with a traumatic brain injury. For years, I was trapped in a cycle of pain, confusion, and endless medical appointments that offered no real answers.
But when I hit rock bottom, faith led me to one final option — a functional neurologist who helped me uncover how trauma had rewired my brain and body. That discovery changed everything. I began rebuilding my life from the inside out — learning how to heal my brain, regulate my body, and reconnect with my faith, truth, and purpose.
Now, through The Courageous Survivor Podcast, I’m sharing that journey. Each week, I’ll take you behind the scenes of my Rewired Journey — the real, raw process of healing decades of trauma, breaking unhealthy patterns, and building a life rooted in wholeness and hope.
Together, we’ll explore how faith, neuroscience, and courage come together to transform not just the mind — but the entire person.
If you’ve ever wondered whether healing is possible after deep pain — this podcast is living proof that it is.
Welcome to The Courageous Survivor Podcast.
Where survival ends, and rewiring begins.

Courageous Conversations: Healing Through Faith and Self-Reflection
🎙 Episode 1: Healing Through Faith and Self-Reflection 🎙
Welcome to the very first episode of Courageous Conversations. In this inaugural episode, I invite you into my world—a place where I openly share the private thoughts, journal entries, and moments of accountability that have shaped my healing journey from over four decades of trauma.
Today’s episode is especially personal, as I dive into the pivotal role that growing in my faith and deepening my relationship with God has played in my journey. I discuss how I came to understand the profound impact that pain, anger, and resentment had not only on me but also on those around me. This episode is about looking inward, taking responsibility for how my own wounds have caused me to hurt others, and embracing the humbling process of change.
Through God’s guidance, I’ve learned that true healing isn’t just about addressing the wounds inflicted upon us—it’s also about forgiving those who hurt us and seeking forgiveness for the ways we’ve allowed our pain to impact others. Join me as I reflect on this transformation, share a powerful devotion that resonated deeply with me, and explore the importance of moving from a place of anger to one of love and compassion.
This episode is just a glimpse into the kind of raw and honest content you can expect as Courageous Conversations transitions to a subscription-based platform in October. For now, I’m sharing these vulnerable parts of my journey with you freely, so you can see firsthand what this journey of healing, faith, and self-reflection looks like.
Thank you for joining me on this path toward healing and growth. May you find peace, strength, and hope in your own journey as well.
