  • 157 | God Forgave You—Why Are You Still Carrying Shame?

    God forgave you—so why are you still replaying the mistake, carrying the guilt, and punishing yourself for who you used to be?

    Maybe you’ve repented. You’ve apologized. You’ve changed your behavior. You’ve grown. But every now and then, your mind takes you right back to what you did, and that little voice says, “Yeah…but look at your past.”

    Beautiful girl, if God released you, why are you still holding yourself hostage?

    In this episode of Identify You, I’m breaking down the difference between conviction, repentance, forgiveness, guilt, and shame so you can recognize when God is correcting your behavior versus when shame is attacking your identity.

    We’re talking about how to take responsibility for what you’ve done without living in condemnation, how to receive the forgiveness Jesus already paid for, and how to move forward without allowing your past to define who you are in Christ.

    Because there’s a difference between saying, “I did something wrong” and believing, “There is something wrong with me.”

    And if you’re healing from emotional pain, struggling with shame and unforgiveness toward yourself, or wondering whether your past has disqualified you from God’s plan for your life, this conversation is for you.

    🎧 Stay until the end because I’ll give you an affirmation to help you separate your identity from your past and a journal prompt to help you identify what you’re still punishing yourself for—even though God has already forgiven you.

    Your mistake may be part of your story.

    But it does not get to become your identity.

  • 156 | Scared You’ll Hear God Wrong? Find Clarity in His Voice

    Have you ever prayed for God to speak… only to start questioning whether what you heard was actually Him?

    Was that God?

    Was that me?

    Was that fear?

    Or was that simply what I wanted to hear?

    If you struggle with second-guessing God’s voice or you’re afraid of making the wrong decision because you don’t want to step outside of God’s plan, this episode is for you.

    I’m sharing three ways I’ve learned to discern when God is speaking: whether what I’m hearing aligns with God’s Word, the fruit it produces, and the confirmation God provides.

    We’ll also talk about becoming familiar with God’s voice through Scripture, prayer, fasting, removing distractions, and intentionally growing in relationship with Him.

    Beautiful, you don’t have to live afraid that you’re going to get everything wrong. God knows His daughters, and He knows how to communicate with us in ways we can understand. Our responsibility is to stay close enough to recognize His voice.

    🎧 Stay until the end because I’ll give you an affirmation to strengthen your confidence in hearing God and a journal prompt to help you recognize the ways He may already be speaking in your life.

    If you’ve been praying for clarity for God’s purpose, second-guessing your next step, or wondering whether you can trust what you heard, this conversation will help you move from confusion toward greater confidence and dependence on God.

  • 155 | Is It God or You? Finding Clarity in God’s Plan

    How do you know if it’s God speaking—or just your own thoughts and desires?

    When you genuinely want to obey God, the fear of making the wrong decision can leave you questioning everything. In this episode of Identify You, we’re talking about how God’s Word, confirmation, and His peace can help you discern His voice and direction.

    You don’t have to live afraid of getting it wrong because God knows how to make Himself clear and will speak to you in ways He knows you understand.

  • 154 | Why Is Healing Emotional Pain Taking So Long?

    Why does healing emotional pain take so long—even when you’ve prayed, forgiven, and done the work?

    If you’ve ever had a painful moment resurface and immediately thought, “I thought I was over this,” I want to remind you that healing isn’t always linear—and feeling pain again doesn’t automatically mean you’re going backwards.

    In this episode of Identify You, I’m talking about why emotional healing with God goes deeper than simply getting over what happened. God may also be healing what the experience did to you, what you started believing because of it, and who you became in order to survive it.

    We’ll talk about how to surrender to God’s healing process, adjust your expectations when healing takes longer than you hoped, and stop allowing painful moments to make you question your progress or your identity in Christ.

    You may not be responsible for what broke you, but you are responsible for how you respond to your brokenness. God is the Healer—but healing requires our participation.

    🎧 Stay until the end because I’ll give you an affirmation to strengthen your confidence during the healing process and a journal prompt to help you recognize what God may be healing beneath the surface.

    If you’ve been asking, “Why am I still hurting?” this conversation will help you stop measuring your healing by how quickly the pain disappears and start recognizing how God is transforming you through the process.

  • 153 | Still Praying? Why Emotional Pain Still Hurts

    Have you been praying about the same thing for months—or maybe even years—and wondering if God hears you?

    When the answer hasn’t come, prayer can start to feel repetitive. You may feel disappointed, fearful, exhausted, or even ashamed that you’re still hurting after all this time.

    I get it because I’m currently in this season too.

    After four years of widowhood, God is teaching me how to dream again, hope again, trust again after heartbreak, and release my expectations of when and how I think things should happen.

    And one of the greatest things I’m learning is this:

    Prayer is worship while you wait. 🙏🏾

    In this episode of Identify You, we’re talking about how to keep praying when it feels like God is doing nothing, how to trust God while healing emotional pain, and what Hagar’s story teaches us about the God who sees us.

    We’ll talk about what happens when unanswered prayers collide with disappointment, why waiting doesn’t mean God has forgotten you, and how prayer can renew your faith, strengthen your confidence in Christ, and keep you dependent on your Father while you heal.

    Beautiful girl, you are not forgotten.

    God sees the heartbreak.

    God sees the waiting.
    God sees the prayers you’re tired of praying.

    And He knows exactly what you need and how to deliver it.

    Every prayer today is a seed for tomorrow.

    🎧 Stay until the end because I’ll give you an affirmation to strengthen your faith while you wait and a journal prompt to help you honestly process your emotional pain with God.

  • 152 | Still Feeling Broken? Your Healing is Building Confidence

    You’ve spent so much time focusing on what still needs healing—but when was the last time you stopped and recognized how far God has already brought you?

    Welcome to the very first Girl Tea Talk LIVE—real talk, real healing, real growth. ☕️🤎

    Today, we’re celebrating the woman you are becoming because you chose to heal.

    After 13 weeks of Healed Girl Summer, we confronted the wounds, labels, lies, and identities pain tried to give us. We talked about trauma, rejection, fear, comparison, brokenness, mistakes, survival, and so much more.

    But healing isn’t only about identifying what still hurts. Sometimes you have to stop long enough to recognize what God has already changed.

    In this Girl Tea Talk, we’re talking about:

    ✨ Why you shouldn’t measure your healing only by what still needs work

    ✨ How to recognize evidence of your transformation

    ✨ Moving from trauma → testimony

    ✨ Moving from victim → victory

    ✨ Turning mistakes → wisdom

    ✨ Moving from striving → surrender

    ✨ The difference between surviving and truly living

    ✨ Celebrating who God is forming you to become

    Because healing isn’t about returning to who you were before life hurt you. It’s about becoming who God created you to be through it all.

    📖 Scriptures: Philippians 1:6 | Psalm 126:3 | 2 Corinthians 5:17

    💬 GIRL TALK: Who are you becoming because you chose to heal? Tell me in the comments—even if you’re watching the replay

    🎧 LISTEN NEXT: Still Healing? Look Who You've Become

    ☕️ GIRL TEA TALK LIVE Join me every Thursday at 11:00 a.m. CT for real conversations about healing, growth, faith, identity, and becoming who God created you to be. Subscribe to I AM SHAKERA TV and turn on your notifications so you don’t miss our next conversation.

  • 151 | Still Healing? Stop Overlooking How Much You’ve Grown

    It's the Healed Girl Summer finale—and today, we're not focusing on everything that's still wrong. We're celebrating how far you've come.

    For 13 weeks, we've confronted anger, brokenness, confusion, fear, guilt, hurt, comparison, rejection, mistakes, and the identities pain tried to give us. Now it's time to recognize the woman God has been forming through it all.

    In this episode, we're talking about moving from trauma to testimony, victim to victory, mistakes to wisdom, striving to surrender, and surviving to truly living. Because healing isn't about returning to who you were before life hurt you. It's about becoming who God created you to be through it all.

    Journal Reflection: Who am I becoming because I chose to heal? What am I proud of myself for this summer?

    Today, celebrate HER.

    She healed. She survived. She became.

    And she's only getting started.

  • 150 | Feeling Behind? God Is Still Redirecting You

    Have you ever wondered if your mistakes, pain, rejection, or setbacks caused you to miss God’s plan for your life?

    In Week 12 of Healed Girl Summer, we’re walking from Naughty → Nice, Overwhelmed → Obedient, Pain → Purpose, Quit → Qualified, and Rejection → Redirected to uncover one powerful truth: God still has purpose for HER.

    We’re talking about what happens when life doesn’t go according to plan, how rejection can become redirection, why pain doesn’t cancel purpose, and how to recognize when God may be developing you instead of denying you.

    If you’ve been feeling behind, overwhelmed, unqualified, rejected, or tempted to quit, this episode is for you.

    Journal Reflection: What have you been calling a setback that God may be using as a redirection?

    This week’s declaration: My mistakes do not cancel my purpose. My pain does not define me. Rejection does not determine my worth. God is ordering my steps, and God still has purpose for me.

  • 148 | Still Comparing? Choose Joy!

    Do you ever feel like everyone else is moving ahead while you’re standing still?

    Comparison has a way of stealing our joy, distorting our identity, and making us question God’s timing. In this episode, we’re exposing the lie that someone else’s blessing means you’ve been forgotten and replacing it with the truth that God’s plan for your life is still unfolding.

    Through personal testimony, biblical truth, and practical reflection, you’ll learn how comparison keeps us distracted, why kindness is a mark of spiritual maturity, and how celebrating others can actually free your own heart.

    Scriptures:

    📖 James 3:16
    📖 Romans 12:15

    Reflection Question:

    ✨ Where has comparison been stealing your joy?

    Affirmation:

    💛 I AM content with God’s timing.
    💛 I celebrate the success of others.
    💛 My identity is secure in Christ.
    💛 God’s plan for my life is unique.
    💛 Joy is my portion.
