Unashamed part 3 – choices
Yesterday I put into words something I’ve been struggling to articulate for 10+ years – why I still feel ashamed after being abused. Everyone tells me it’s not my fault but the thing is I know and accept that. For me, the shame goes a lot deeper than just self-blame. To summarize, what I stated…

Parent Wounds
Language warning! I’m being careful how I write this as to not come across as overly revealing or disrespectful. But I want to talk about the wounds that are left when our parents don’t give us what we need as kids. When they’re emotionally immature or unavailable. I almost titled this “Daddy Issues” but the…

Unashamed, Part 2
I may make “Unashamed” a series, a book, idk. But because it’s been the biggest stumbling block for me in my journey and over the last few days, I wanted to talk about it some more. Last night was a little rough. I decided to rip yet another bandaid off and make my blog post…

Finding God in Grief and Shame
Yesterday I gave a presentation about mental health and was recognized in a local paper. You can find that article here I won’t toot my own horn anymore than I already have 😀 but I will say it was an amazing day. But what I want to focus on was the struggle that came before…

Deconstruction-ish
Hey y’all! I haven’t posted in a while. Honestly, I’ve had a lot to say but also nothing at all (if that makes any sense). If I’m being completely honest, my thoughts when it comes to my healing journey as well as my spiritual journey (they’re kind of one in the same at this point)…

I’ve struggled with my relationship with God and beliefs as a whole for a while. I even (very, very briefly) went…

Past the Facade
Most of the time when I post on my blog or on social media about the things I have been through, I do it during moments of insight. Like, during some sort of epiphany I had about it, or once I’ve worked through whatever negative things I was feeling. Doing so creates this illusion that…

Unashamed
A lot of y’all who follow me on social media before know that I’ve started and stopped blogging not once, but twice. For me, my shame got in the way. I posted some stuff I was going through, but not the most painful stuff…not the stuff that really mattered. There is still a lot of…

Hope In The Story of Joseph
Let me start this post by saying, yes, I know this is my second post in one day. I decided that this time around, instead of trying to force myself to post on a schedule, I would post when and what I feel called to post. It keeps things more genuine, exciting, and interesting that…
