Rebuilding Your Life Through Faith: Turning Trauma Into God’s Given Purpose with Rossie Manka

Breakfast of Choices

Today on Breakfast of Choices, I’m thrilled to have my guest Rossie Manka on the show today. Rossie is an author, speaker, and transformational coach who helps women break free from limiting beliefs and step into their full potential. In our conversation, Rossie shares her powerful story of overcoming childhood trauma, domestic abuse, and addiction to find healing, purpose, and an unshakable faith in God.
Rossie opens up about the challenges she faced growing up in a poverty-stricken neighborhood in Milwaukee, dealing with an absent father and a single mother who worked tirelessly to provide for the family. She vulnerably recounts the molestation she experienced at a young age, which deeply impacted her view of men and led her down a destructive path of anger, bitterness, and unhealthy relationships.
However, Rossie’s story is one of remarkable resilience and transformation. She shares how she found redemption through her faith, using her voice to inspire others who have faced similar struggles. Rossie’s book "Unshakable: A Woman in Christ” chronicles her journey from rock bottom to rock solid, and she now dedicates her life to coaching and mentoring women to break free from limiting beliefs and step into their God-given purpose.
Throughout our conversation, Rossie and I discuss the importance of setting boundaries, choosing supportive friendships, and the power of forgiveness in the healing process. She also shares her experience with the legal system and the domestic abuse she endured, highlighting the strength and courage it took to rebuild her life.
Rossie’s story is a testament to the power of faith, self-love, and perseverance. Her vulnerability and authenticity are truly inspiring, and I'm honored to share her message with you all. If you're a woman seeking to overcome past trauma and step into your full potential, I highly recommend checking out Rossie’s book.
