<![CDATA[FaithwithGingersnap-Unashamed]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/faithwithgingersnap-this-is-my-story There are parts of my life I never thought I would have the courage to talk about. My story isn’t pretty—there’s abuse, trauma, mental health struggles, shame, heartbreak, and a whole lot of things I wish had never happened. But there’s also something I can’t leave out: God. Somehow, through every chapter I thought would destroy me, He kept me here. And now I’m finally ready to tell my story.

I’m Gingersnap, and FaithwithGingersnap is where I’m going to get real about the parts of life we don’t always feel comfortable talking about.

This isn’t a podcast where I pretend I have everything figured out. I don’t. I’m still learning, still healing, still asking questions, and still trying to understand some of the things I’ve lived through. But I’ve learned that sometimes the first step toward healing is being brave enough to say, “This happened to me.”

We’ll talk about mental health, trauma, abuse, shame, relationships, fear, pain, healing, faith, and what it means to keep going when life has given you every reason to give up.

One of the biggest things we’ll explore is shame—the kind that makes you hide, the kind that makes you feel broken, and the kind you carry even when what happened to you was never your fault.

We’ll talk about what God says about the shame we carry, how He can help us begin to lay it down, and what it can look like to heal from the things that have hurt us. We’ll have honest conversations about faith—not the perfect, picture-perfect kind, but the kind of faith you hold onto when you’re hurting, confused, angry, scared, or simply trying to make it through another day.

We’ll also spend time talking about Unashamed by Christine Caine, a Christian author whose message about breaking free from shame speaks directly to so much of what I’ve experienced. Her words will help guide some of our conversations, but this podcast is ultimately about something much bigger: learning who we are when we stop allowing our past and our shame to define us.

Some conversations will be heavy. Some will make you cry. Some might make you uncomfortable. And hopefully, some will make you laugh your ass off, because life isn’t always trauma and tears. 😂

I want this to be a place where you can show up exactly as you are.

You don’t have to pretend you’re okay here.

You don’t have to have all the answers.

You don’t have to be perfect.

And you don’t have to be ashamed of the things you’ve survived.

So grab your coffee, pull up a seat, and come talk with me about the things we usually keep buried.

Because maybe healing isn’t about forgetting what happened to us—maybe it’s about learning to live unashamed, unchained, and free in the life God still has ahead of us. ❤️🎙️

I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

This is my story—the story of a woman who survived abuse, trauma, mental health struggles, and years of carrying shame that was never hers to carry. After spending most of my life trying to hide the painful parts of my story, I’m finally ready to tell them.

In this first episode, I’m opening up about the experiences that shaped me, the things I’ve struggled with, and the parts of my life that are difficult to talk about. This isn’t a polished version of my story. It’s the real one.

For years, I carried shame for things that were never my fault. I carried it into my relationships, my mental health, and the way I saw myself. But I’m learning that we don’t have to carry shame forever.

My faith has been a huge part of my journey, and throughout this podcast we’ll talk about what God says about shame, how He can help us let go of the things we’ve been carrying, and how we can begin healing from the trauma we’ve experienced.

We’ll also talk about Unashamed by Christine Caine, and the powerful message of breaking free from shame.

I’m not here because I have all the answers. I’m here because I’m still figuring it out, too.

If you’ve ever carried shame for something that wasn’t your fault, struggled with the weight of your past, or wondered if you can really heal from the things you’ve survived, come sit with me.

Let’s talk about the hard things. Let’s talk about healing. And let’s learn how to put down the shame we’ve carried for too long.

This is FaithwithGingersnap. And this is where my story begins. ❤️🎙️
