Listen "Ain't That a Shame?--Falling Short of Expectations"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we are continuing our last conversation on shame, perfectionism, and mental health, and we’re taking it a step further—into the layered expectations of faith, church, and rural community life. This episode explores what happens when you break the “rules”—both written and unspoken—and fall short of religious and cultural ideals that often feel impossible to uphold.From personal stories of spiritual struggle to moments of quiet rebellion, we unpack how shame shows up in faith communities and how hard it can be to feel worthy when you’re no longer coloring inside the lines.It’s deep, it’s raw—and still, somehow, full of grace and laughter.
