Shame Knows Your Name
Ever done something you were excited about… and then immediately wanted to hide?
Yeah. Same.
In this episode, I tell the whole story of why it took weeks for me to tell a single person—including my husband—that I had launched this podcast. Publishing the episode was easy. But telling people about it? Cue the tears, anxiety, and full-body cringe.
And the reason it was so hard for me is probably the same reason something in your life feels harder than it needs to be, too.
We’re talking shame—that ancient whisper that says:
“Who do you think you are?”
“This isn’t good enough.”
“You’re not good enough.”
“Better hide this before anyone sees.”
Shame has one goal: disconnection.
From God.
From others.
From your own heart.
And the gospel has one answer: You are already loved. Already covered. Already held.
This episode walks through:
Why shame shows up most around creativity + connection
How shame keeps us isolated and afraid to be seen
The Garden of Eden roots of that “not enough” message
How the love of God is the only thing strong enough to silence shame
What it practically looks like to scorn shame and do the thing anyway
Whether “the thing” is:
Posting your art
Confessing a struggle
Hosting friends
Starting a project
Admitting you care about something
Or launching your own podcast 😉
this episode will help you move toward freedom instead of hiding.
Key Takeaways
Shame isn’t just a feeling—it’s a strategy to isolate and disconnect.
The message of shame is always some flavor of “you are not enough.”
The gospel answers: “You are loved—not because you are enough, but because Christ is.”
Transformation happens when we lean into love and scorn shame by acting anyway.
