Episode 2026.21: The Wall You Didn't See (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I used to think a wall only looked one way. Obvious. Cold. Easy to spot. It took me a long time to learn that sometimes a wall wears a friendly face, shows up consistently, stays in touch, and still never lets you all the way in. 🗣️ Continue the conversation at girllisten2this.wordpress.com/community .

Episode 2026.19: Trusting Your Hard-Won Clarity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I published an episode earlier this year that I liked, but something about it never sat right with me. When I finally sat with it again, I realized what I'd actually been feeling wasn't survivor's guilt. It was fear. In this episode, I talk about what it means to trust the clarity you've already earned, even when you were raised in a tradition that taught you not to trust yourself at all. And I talk about why constantly watching yourself for signs of backsliding might be its own kind of bondage.
Episode 2026.18: Reevaluating Gospel Music - We're Blessed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week's episode is about how a favorite gospel song's meaning shifted for me, what it cost me to believe the old version, and what I found when I let the song mean something new. It touches on faith, worth, and the kind of victim mentality that can outlast the belief system that planted it. 🎙️Continue the conversation at https://girllisten2this.wordpress.com/community .
Episode 2026.17: When Your Seat Is Rescinded (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week's episode is about what happens when someone rescinds your seat at their table, even after you've shown up for them in good faith. If you're the type of person who examines every interaction looking for the thing you did wrong, I hope this one gives you something to sit with. 🎙️ Continue the conversation at GirlListen2This.wordpress.com .
