Episode 537 Faith Is Stronger Than Fear: Carrie Sheffield’s Story of Courage and Grace

Carrie Sheffield

In this unforgettable episode of Conversations with Bizzy, your host Elizabeth Chance sits down with the brilliant and brave Carrie Sheffield—award-winning journalist, policy expert, and author of the powerful memoir The Motorhome Prophecies. Carrie shares her jaw-dropping journey from a deeply traumatic and chaotic childhood to a life rooted in purpose, healing, and unshakable faith.

This conversation is about what happens when we stop running and start facing the truth—our past, our pain, our patterns. Carrie opens up about growing up in a motorhome under the rule of a religiously addicted father, navigating the darkness of generational trauma, and ultimately finding her way to healing through grace, forgiveness, and a strong relationship with God.

Together, Carrie and Bizzy go deep into topics like the danger of religious addiction, the courage it takes to walk away from toxic environments, and how comparison is a joy-killer. They talk about what it means to get off autopilot and do the hard (but holy!) work of changing from the inside out. This isn’t just a story of survival—it’s one of total transformation, spiritual awakening, and stepping into your God-given worth.

Carrie’s story is proof that we can stop the cycle, break the curse, and rise up. With humor, heart, and deep insight, this episode is a beautiful reminder that God is love, healing is possible, and we are never alone on the path to freedom.

🧠 Takeaways:

  • Trauma doesn’t define you—healing is possible.

  • Faith can carry you through the darkest valleys.

  • Forgiveness is freedom (even if it’s a solo act).

  • Comparison steals joy—don’t let it.

  • God is bigger than any addiction, any pattern, any past.

  • Generational curses can be broken with courage and awareness.

  • You deserve a life full of peace, purpose, and love.
