How Secrets Fuel Shame

Secrets can feel like protection, but often, they’re a heavy burden that fuels shame and robs us of joy. In today’s episode, we’re diving into the final topic of our series on how shame impacts everyday life: the power of secrets.

I’ll share a personal story from one of my early blog posts, where I confronted the lies I told myself and others to keep my secret hidden. Together, we’ll explore the difference between maintaining privacy and carrying the weight of a secret, and why bringing hidden truths to light is essential for healing.

Join me as we uncover how God’s grace leads us out of shame and into freedom.
