Who are you when you take away the titles you use to describe yourself?

Wife. Mum. Professional. Leader. Carer. Ministry worker. The dependable one. The person everybody calls when they need something.

These roles can be meaningful and God-given—but they were never meant to become the source of your identity.

In this episode of Unashamed At Last, we’re exploring what happens when the roles we carry become so closely connected to our sense of worth that a change in season leaves us wondering, “Who am I now?”

Sis, your roles may change, your children may grow, relationships may shift, careers may end and ministry seasons may look different—but a changing role does not mean a disappearing identity.

In this episode, you’ll discover how to recognise when being needed, productive or successful has become connected to your sense of worth; why your identity must go deeper than your roles; and how to begin rediscovering who you are in Christ.

You’ll also work through the “Who Am I?” Reset, a practical exercise to help you separate who you are from what you do.

Colossians 3:3 — Your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Your roles describe important parts of your life. But they were never meant to become the source of your identity.

Have you ever held back what you really thought or felt because you were afraid of upsetting someone, being misunderstood or creating conflict?

Sis, finding your voice isn’t about becoming louder. It’s about becoming secure enough to stop disappearing from your own relationships.

In this episode of Unashamed At Last, we explore the difference between wise silence and fear-driven silence, why keeping the peace can sometimes become avoiding necessary conversations, and what Esther’s story teaches us about finding the courage to speak when it matters.

You don’t have to make yourself smaller to maintain connection. You can learn to speak the truth with love, wisdom and grace.

Have you ever made a decision and then replayed it over and over in your mind, wondering if you got it wrong?

Maybe a past choice didn’t turn out the way you hoped, and now fear has made you hesitant to trust yourself again.

In this episode of Unashamed At Last, we’re talking about how fear and shame can fuel second-guessing, why wisdom is different from needing certainty, and how to move forward without demanding a guarantee about the outcome.

You’ll be reminded that you can learn from a wrong decision without becoming afraid of making decisions—and that one mistake does not have to become your identity.

Key Scriptures:

In this episode, we explore:

Why fear can keep you circling a decision long after wisdom has spoken

The difference between seeking wisdom and seeking certainty

How shame can turn a wrong decision into a statement about who you are

Why moving forward sometimes requires courage before confidence

Keep replacing shame with Scripture-rooted identity—and keep living unashamed.

What happens when you know what God says about you—but the shame you've carried still feels louder than the truth?

Sis, that's part of what makes coming out of hiding a journey. Sometimes we've heard the Scriptures, we know the right words to say, and yet old beliefs can still influence how we see ourselves and how confidently we show up in our lives.

In Part Two of my conversation with Dorcas, host of You Matter Momma, we continue our honest conversation about shame, identity, faith and what it looks like to move beyond simply recognising shame to actually challenging the beliefs that have kept us hiding.

If you've ever struggled with feeling not enough, carried shame from your past or found yourself knowing what God says about you but struggling to truly believe it, this conversation is for you.

And if you haven't heard Part One yet, head back to Episode 31 to hear the beginning of our conversation.

Join Dorcas and me for Part Two and be encouraged to stop allowing shame to tell you who you are—and begin living from the identity God has already given you.

Keep replacing shame with Scripture-rooted identity—and keep living unashamed.

This week’s episode is a little different, Sis.

I recently had the privilege of joining Dorcas, host of You Matter Momma, for an honest conversation about shame, faith, identity and the journey behind Unashamed At Last.

Dorcas is a wife and longtime stay-at-home mum who understands the exhaustion, pressure and loneliness that can come with caring for a family full-time. Through You Matter Momma, she encourages Christian stay-at-home mums to draw closer to Jesus, rediscover their identity and create simple rhythms that bring greater peace, confidence and purpose into everyday life.

In Part One of our conversation, I share more of my personal story and how shame can quietly shape the way we see ourselves, relate to God and move through life.

We talk about what it means to come out of hiding, recognise the lies shame has caused us to believe and begin replacing them with the truth of who God says we are.

This conversation was too rich to fit into one episode, so I’ve divided it into two parts.

Whether you are a stay-at-home mum or simply a woman who has struggled with shame, regret or feeling as though you are not enough, I believe there is something in this conversation for you.

Come and join Dorcas and me for Part One—and be reminded that shame does not get to have the final word over your story.

After you've been hurt, it's natural to want to protect yourself from ever experiencing that pain again.

But what happens when being careful slowly becomes hiding?

In this episode of Unashamed At Last, we're exploring 5 signs that self-protection may be keeping you from living fully and how to recognise the difference between healthy boundaries and walls built by fear.

We'll talk about vulnerability, independence, fear of failure, managing how others see you and what it really means to protect your peace.

Because healing doesn't mean giving everybody access to you.

It means fear and shame no longer get to decide who you're allowed to be.

If you've found yourself saying “I'll never let that happen to me again,” struggling to trust, keeping people at a distance or avoiding opportunities because you don't want to be hurt, rejected or disappointed again, this episode is for you, Sis.

Come and discover how to keep the wisdom you've gained without allowing what happened to you to make your life smaller.

Do you ever find yourself thinking, “By now, I thought I would…”?

Maybe you expected to be married, have children, be further ahead financially, more established in your career or simply feel more settled in yourself by now.

When life doesn't look the way we expected, it's easy to compare our progress with others and conclude that we're somehow behind.

In this episode of Unashamed At Last, we're exploring 4 biblical shifts to help you stop measuring your progress against someone else's, release regret over the years you cannot change and start living fully in the season you're in now.

Because you can desire more for your life without treating the life you have today as a waiting room for your real life.

There is nothing wrong with wanting love, companionship and people to walk through life with. But what happens when the fear of losing someone makes you depend on them for your sense of security, worth or identity?

In this episode of Unashamed At Last, we explore the difference between healthy connection and fear-driven dependency, and how fear of rejection or being alone can sometimes cause us to hold on too tightly, compromise our boundaries or even lose parts of ourselves in relationships.

Through five biblical truths, you'll discover how to find your security in God while still loving, needing and receiving support from others in a healthy way.

Because the goal isn't to stop needing people.

It's learning to need people without making them your security—and to love them without losing yourself.

What if your need for control isn't really about being responsible—but about being afraid of what might happen if you let go?

In this episode of Unashamed At Last, we explore how past hurt, disappointment and shame can quietly make us try to control people, perceptions and outcomes in an attempt to feel safe.

You'll discover how to recognise when fear is hiding behind responsibility, separate what is yours to do from what belongs to God, and take wise action without carrying the pressure of controlling the outcome.

Because surrender doesn't mean becoming careless or powerless.

It means knowing where your responsibility ends and where trust in God begins.

You've been praying, reading your Bible, and trying to grow—but why do you still feel stuck in the same struggles?

In this episode of Unashamed At Last, we're talking about why prayer is essential to spiritual growth, but prayer was never meant to replace participation and obedience.

You'll discover four biblical truths to help you recognise the growth already happening, move from simply knowing Scripture to practising it, give yourself grace in the process, and understand why healthy community matters.

Because spiritual growth isn't always, "I don't struggle with this anymore." Sometimes it's, "This no longer controls me the way it used to."

Remember Sis

Slow growth is still growth.

Don't allow shame to convince you that continued struggle means nothing is changing. God is working in you—and He's inviting you to participate in the transformation.
