The Day I Confessed: Overcoming Struggles with Shame, Food, and My Phone
I used to live in so much shame that I was afraid to admit my struggles out loud—not to friends, not even to God.
In this episode, I discuss why and how I faced my challenges and what it takes to fight back. Discover how I began to break free, the role of shame in keeping you stuck in cycles, and how to start rebuilding your self-respect.
Understand why willpower alone isn’t enough, how your environment impacts you, and the routines that anchored me. Learn about using micro-commitments to rebuild self-trust and the importance of accountability by sharing with others and God.
