Courage to Hurt & Heal
Pain has a way of writing stories about us—stories that aren't true but feel impossible to escape. And sometimes, faith communities accidentally teach us to bury those stories instead of heal them.
Courage to Hurt & Heal is where hosts Vicki Diemert and Dave Shrein bring honest conversations about the wounds we carry and the healing that's actually available. Vicki brings her experience as a Biblical counselor and story work facilitator, offering practical tools for naming what hurts and rewriting the narratives that have kept you stuck. Together, they explore how faith becomes a genuine source of healing rather than a way to rush past pain. This podcast delivers wisdom for ordinary life—not just crisis moments—because healing isn't reserved for rock bottom. It's available now.

When Work Wounds: What to Do With Today's Hurt
You get hurt at work and tell yourself to toughen up. Or you get hurt at work and spiral. But what if there's a third way — one that's honest about the pain and wise about what it actually means?
Dave and Vicki walk through what happens when you feel overlooked, undermined, or publicly dismissed. And more importantly, how to actually process it — not ignore it, not catastrophize it, but move through it with clarity.
Unpack three different kinds of workplace wounds and learn what makes each one worth paying attention to. You'll discover the questions that separate "this is real and I should address it" from "this is real but I can let it go." And you'll learn what happens when you're brave enough to hit reset with someone instead of building a case against them.
