What happens when God sends someone to help you and you don’t want the help? In this deeply honest episode, Alaine and Victoria peel back the layers of resistance, walls, and fear that can form even in Spirit-led assignments. Alaine reveals the moment God spoke clearly during a Sunday teaching and how she resisted it for weeks. Victoria shares her side: the quiet waiting, the arm’s-length relationship, and the years of spiritual obedience without emotional access.

This episode is for the woman who pushes people away to protect herself, even when she knows they were sent by God.

In this deeply personal debut episode, Alaine Strozier and co-host Victoria pull back the curtain on why the UNMUTE podcast had to be birthed.

Alaine shares the heavy cost of silence in her life, as a wife, mother, leader, and woman of faith, and why she finally had to choose herself. Together, they talk about the many women who are praised for being strong… but secretly suffocating under the weight of performance, unspoken pain, and spiritual perfectionism.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Where do I go to tell the truth?” this episode is your answer.
