Have you ever walked out of a church service feeling anxious, heavy, or deeply unsettled—then immediately told yourself, “Maybe I’m just too sensitive?”

In this very first episode, I share a tender piece of my own story—about being shamed for my God-given enthusiasm—and the moment I finally realized I didn’t need to become smaller… I needed a bigger container.

We’ll unpack how spiritual sensitivity can actually be a sign of past religious trauma—not a flaw in your faith. I’ll walk you through 3 subtle but powerful signs that what you’re carrying may be more than just overreacting:

– When your emotions feel too big, even in “safe” spiritual spaces – When you blame yourself for not having enough faith – When rest, boundaries, or honest questions trigger fear or shame

By the end, you’ll understand the difference between spiritual conviction and internalized shame—and begin to gently name what’s been hurting underneath it all.

Journal Prompt: What have I been blaming on my sensitivity… that might actually be a wound? Healing Truth: You are held, seen, and protected by a God who never needed you to shrink.
