About Parr & Gia Lean In
Our mission is to provide a space for real and redemptive conversations that bring light and life to those who need it most. We want to empower women individually and collectively to lean into their search for hope, healing, and the courage to keep going. The format of our podcast involves guests revisiting moments that hurt them with the purpose of reminding us all that trauma doesn’t have to be the end of the story. We highlight the truth that there is light on the other side of pain and that healing is not only possible but beautiful. We are inspiring others not to settle in their trauma but to press forward toward healing, restoration, and, ultimately, triumph.
We want our listeners to know that their voice matters.
Their story matters.

​What People Say
Love how Parr & Gia are sharing women's stories to lift all of us up and give us examples of women overcoming huge obstacles with grace and power. Tiffany's story is very similar to my sister-in-law's story, so super inspiring and hits close to home. She went into good detail so you could put yourself in the situation, but not so much medical that it was hard to follow.
