Girl, you were never meant to drag that heavy suitcase of shame into your marriage. It’s time to unzip it, unpack it, and let Jesus rewrite the lies you've believed for far too long. Your past may explain the pain—but it doesn’t get to decide your healing!

💖 Episode Summary: In week two of our Summer Series on Shame, Michelle pulls no punches as she dives into the emotional and spiritual baggage many women unknowingly bring into marriage. From past mistakes and sexual wounds to the silence surrounding intimacy in Christian homes, this episode is all about breaking the power of shame by bringing it into the light. Through powerful scripture, relatable stories, and the unwavering truth of God’s redemption, Michelle invites you to take every thought captive and begin rewriting your story with the truth of Christ.

📌 What You’ll Learn:

  • Why shame from your past doesn’t get to dictate your future

  • How to take every lie and toxic thought captive in Jesus' name

  • The visual power of trading in shameful memories for God’s truth

  • Why what you weren’t taught about sex can still shape your marriage

  • How to start the healing process with one bold sentence and a prayer

  • Encouragement for women who were the “good girl” yet still feel broken

🙌 Call to Action: Friend, your past doesn’t scare God. He’s reaching into it—ready to pull you out and set you free. Start today. Invite the Holy Spirit into your healing, journal the truth, and walk boldly into the intimacy God designed for you.
