Imagine facing a childhood overshadowed by an alcoholic father, enduring the emotional rollercoaster of seven marriages, and confronting the specter of domestic violence. Joanne Fawcett, an author and speaker with a tale that is both harrowing and inspiring, joins us to share her extraordinary life story. Her candid revelations chart a course through the challenges of financial independence for women, the perils of codependency, and the quest for understanding in relationships, all within the framework of her experiences in the Mormon Church and beyond.

Throughout our conversation, Joanne peels back the layers of traditional marriage norms, recounting her personal confrontations with gender roles and the often-troubled waters of motherhood. She details her navigation through the complexities of church teachings and societal pressures, providing a rare glimpse into the nuances of finding true happiness and forging an identity free from the confines of expectation. Her reflections offer a roadmap for personal growth, acceptance, and the courage to step away from destructive partnerships, all while managing the realities of single parenthood and the scars left by past abuses.

Venturing into the spiritual, Joanne opens up about her psychic encounters and interactions with the spirit world. From sensing presences at funerals to establishing connections with spirits aboard the USS Hornet, her experiences invite us to reconsider conventional notions of the afterlife. Whether discussing the support from spirit guides or the evolution of her spiritual beliefs, Joanne's journey serves as an exploration of resilience, vulnerability, and the extraordinary influence that unseen forces can have on our lives. Join us as we navigate through these compelling stories and the lessons they hold.
