Unshackled: How I Broke Free From Shame (And How You Can Too)
Manage episode 474905710 series 3628208
Have you ever felt trapped by self-doubt, shame, or the weight of labels the world puts on you? In this raw and revelatory solo episode, Ashley Iduda opens up about her decade-long struggle with identityâfrom denying her creativity as a makeup artist to feeling like an "imposter" as a stay-at-home mom. She shares how a transformative encounter with Godâs love shattered her chains of insecurity and helped her finally see herself as His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10).
Through personal storiesâlike her journey to New York City, battling shame, and even a startling revelation about "devil pigs"âAshley uncovers the lies that hold women back and offers biblical truths to reclaim your God-given identity. If youâve ever felt "not enough" or wondered what it truly means to be beautiful from the inside out, this episode is your invitation to freedom.
