What do you do when you never get the apology, the explanation, or the closure you hoped for? What happens when the people who wounded you never acknowledge your pain — and you’re left carrying it?

In this raw and deeply personal episode, I share my own experience with betrayal and how Christ taught me that true closure doesn’t come from others — it comes from Him.

You don’t need their why. You need His healing.

Why doesn’t God show us the whole picture ahead of time? Wouldn’t it be easier to avoid pain or make better choices if we just knew what was coming?

In this deeply personal episode, host Nina Pajonas shares a powerful message straight from her walk with God. Through scripture, raw reflection, and spiritual insight, she explains why God sometimes withholds the “why”—and how that’s actually part of His love for us. If you’ve ever struggled to trust God in the unknown, this episode will encourage you to release the need for control and walk forward in faith.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why God doesn’t reveal everything in advance

• What it really means to walk by faith, not by sight

📖 Featuring John 13:7 and 2 Corinthians 5:7

🦋 Reflection questions + a closing prayer

Listen now—and remember: You don’t need all the answers. You just need God.

Since childhood, I dreamed of marriage—a love story where I could give my whole heart and be loved fully in return. But I came to realize that I wasn’t ready for the relationship I longed for, because I didn’t yet understand what true love—or true identity—looked like.

In this vulnerable and honest episode of Born to be a Butterfly, I share my journey through singleness, sobriety, and celibacy—and how Christ reshaped my entire understanding of love, worth, and waiting.

You’ll hear:

✝️ How trauma and brokenness distorted my view of love

✝️ Why celibacy became not just self-preservation, but a powerful act of faith

✝️ How discipline forms true discipleship in Christ

✝️ Why prolonged singleness isn’t punishment—it’s preparation

If you’re walking through a long season of singleness or struggling with the weight of waiting, this episode will remind you that God’s plan is not delayed—it’s deliberate. He is forming you, preparing you, and writing a story more beautiful than you could imagine.
