If you’ve ever asked, “Why wasn’t I enough for them to stay?” — this is for you. Because that question? It doesn’t just live in your thoughts. It sinks into your identity.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about how grief, shame and self-doubt can quietly shape the way we see ourselves — our value, our relationships, even our connection with God.

Shame and grief are heavy, hidden feelings that tells you: "There’s something wrong with me." It’s different from guilt — guilt says, “I did something wrong.” No — shame is deeper. It whispers, “I am what’s wrong.

To unpack this tender and powerful topic, I’m joined by a beautiful soul — Mercia Strydom.

Mercia shared how she lost her husband to cancer and the deep grief that followed—until she received God's comfort and healing.

Hope this episode blesses you.

Thank You! For listening/Watching.
