No More Happy Plastic People

September 15, 2025

In this episode of the Making Peace and Beyond Podcast, Jamie Norton sits down with Ginny Long to unpack why so many of us hide behind masks, pretending everything is “fine” while we’re hurting inside. Together they explore attachment styles, the impact of childhood wounds, and how repeating familiar but unhealthy relationship patterns can keep us stuck.



You’ll hear raw and honest reflections on moving from survival mode to truly living, the power of authentic community, and how embracing your story—rather than hiding it—opens the door to healing, freedom, and peace in Christ.



Whether you’ve struggled with codependency, trauma, abuse recovery, or identity in Christ, this conversation will encourage you that you’re not alone. The good news? You don’t have to be a “happy plastic person.” Real peace and authentic relationships are possible when we step into the truth.
