Unshackled: How I Broke Free From Shame (And How You Can Too)

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 identity—from 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 God’s love shattered her chains of insecurity and helped her finally see herself as His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10).

Through personal stories—like her journey to New York City, battling shame, and even a startling revelation about "devil pigs"—Ashley uncovers the lies that hold women back and offers biblical truths to reclaim your God-given identity. If you’ve ever felt "not enough" or wondered what it truly means to be beautiful from the inside out, this episode is your invitation to freedom.

Key Takeaways:

1. Beauty from the Inside Out

• Core Mission: Why Ashley’s podcast exists—helping women root their identity in Christ so their inner light radiates outward.

2. You Are God’s Masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10)

• Truth: The Greek word poema reveals we’re God’s "workmanship"—His intentional, beautiful creation.
• Reflection Question: How would your life shift if you fully believed you were a divine work of art?

3. Identity Isn’t Found in Roles or Achievements

• Lie vs. Truth: Labels like "mom" or "career" don’t define your worth. Ashley’s shame over "quitting" makeup artistry kept her stuck for years.
• Challenge: What roles or past mistakes are you letting define you?

4. Childlike Wonder vs. Adult Shame

• Contrast: The unfiltered joy of children  vs. the lies adults believe.
• Exercise: Reconnect with what lit you up as a child (art, dirt, dancing)—it may reveal your God-given purpose.

5. Breaking Free from Fear & Shame

• Ashley’s Journey: From self-doubt ("I’m not creative enough") to courage (moving to NYC for makeup school).
• Hard Truth: Shame grows in silence; freedom comes when you confront it.

6. The "Devil Pig" Principle

• Spiritual Insight: Seer Micah Turnbo's startling revelation—negative self-talk feeds darkness.
• Action Step: Replace "I’m ugly/stupid" with
