Episode Description
What if the greatest truth about your story is not what happened to you, but who never stopped pursuing you?
In this deeply moving episode of Living the Reclaimed Life, Robin Blumenthal sits down with author, speaker, and innovation expert Tess Jurgens to share a story of heartbreak, healing, and unwavering hope.
From the outside, Tess appeared successful. She earned a PhD in Chemical Engineering, built a thriving consulting business, authored multiple books, and spent decades helping organizations grow through creativity and innovation. Yet behind the accomplishments was a woman living through years of emotional abuse, control, and isolation.
After thirty years of marriage, Tess found herself leaving with little more than a few belongings, trusting God to lead her one step at a time into an entirely new life.
Robin and Tess also explore what it means to discover freedom after years of believing the painful messages spoken by others. Together they discuss identity, purpose, community, and the healing that comes when we begin believing what God says about us instead.
If you have ever felt unseen, stuck, rejected, or wondered if God still has a purpose for your life, this conversation will remind you that hope is never out of reach.
Tess has a book coming out soon - “Project Me: Becoming a Creative Christian Leader”
