Breaking Free from Shame & Unforgiveness: Part 2 with Michele Vrabel
Heads up: This episode covers sensitive topics, including sexual abuse, abortion, and forgiveness. Please listen with discretion, especially around children.
In this deeply vulnerable continuation of my conversation with Michele Vrabel, author of Butterfly Stitches, we tackle heavy but necessary topics, including shame, unforgiveness, and the healing power of speaking our struggles out loud. This episode dives into how trauma, shame, and unforgiveness keep us bound—and how God offers freedom when we lean into His grace.
I also share a deeply personal story that I’ve never spoken about publicly and how God has been teaching me to expose the lies of the enemy, face my triggers, and walk in freedom. If you’ve ever felt stuck, burdened by your past, or unworthy of God’s forgiveness, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone.
