You're Losing Yourself Trying to Make Everyone Happy

The Hidden Wounds Behind People-Pleasing & Perfectionism — And How to Break Free

What if the person you've become isn't who you really are… but who you had to become to survive? 💔

What if your silence was never about having nothing to say, but about learning that speaking up came with a price?

What if your perfectionism isn't about excellence, but the fear that if you ever make a mistake, others will hurt you, reject you, or leave?

And what if, after spending your entire life trying not to be abandoned by others… you've unknowingly abandoned yourself?

Hi family!

Growing up, i learned that mistakes meant abuse and silence kept me safe. So i became good at hiding what i felt, swallowing what i wanted to say, and trying to be everything others expected of me.

For years, i wondered why something as simple as speaking up felt so impossible.

i thought something was wrong with me… until i discovered there was a wound behind the behavior.

And maybe there's one behind yours, too.

In this deeply personal episode of Unspoken with aggie park, we're going beneath the surface of people-pleasing and perfectionism, exploring how childhood wounds shape our brains, why fear can disguise itself as kindness or excellence, and practical steps how we can begin healing what we've spent years trying to hide.

Because the very behaviors that once protected us can become the very chains that imprison us.

But here's what i really want you to consider:

What if the approval you're fighting so hard to earn is costing you the very life God created you to live?

You were never created to become everybody else's dream, meet everybody else's expectations, or carry everybody else's happiness.

And you don't have to keep auditioning for a love Jesus has already freely given you.

Maybe freedom begins when we finally ask ourselves:

"Am i living the life God called me to live… or the life i built to keep others happy?"

My prayer is that this episode helps us begin laying down the fear, shame, and expectations we've carried for far too long, and take one courageous step toward becoming who God created us to be.

If you're walking through this, please come talk to me. Whether you're struggling with people-pleasing, rejection, abandonment, or simply feeling like you've lost yourself, i'd love to hear your story. We don't need perfect words or perfectly healed hearts. Let's pray for one another and walk towards healing and freedom in Jesus together.

And family, if this episode speaks to you, would you rate, review unspoken with aggie park and share this conversation?" Not just to support the podcast, but because somewhere, someone is silently believing the lie that they're difficult to love, that their voice doesn't matter, or that they'll never be enough.

Your one share might help someone question a lie they've believed their entire life and start living in the truth that will set them free.

Thank you for being part of this family and helping make the unspoken spoken. 💗

Raw. Real. Redeemed.

"Let the redeemed of the LORD tell their story." — Psalm 107:2

Love you, family! 🤍Until next time, keep being real, keep choosing surrender and keep fighting for your healing even when healing feels unfinished!

His own father tried to kill him. TWICE.

But years later, after betrayal, divorce, two bankruptcies, homelessness, and alcoholism, Anthony Keven Keanereached a point where he couldn't see a reason to keep living.

Imagine surviving someone else's attempts to take yourlife, only to reach a point where you try to end it yourself.

And then there's the unforgiveness he carried for 40 YEARS.

Forty years of pain that didn't just disappear because he got older.

In this conversation, we get intothe wounds we carry from childhood, the destructive things we turn to just to stop hurting, and why sometimes the hardest person to free from our past is ourselves.

We also get practical. How do you break free from the coping mechanisms you've depended on for years?

How do you stop running from pain and actually begin healing from the root?

And how do you forgive someone who hurt you so deeply, especially when they're not even sorry?

And why forgive at all when you're the one who was hurt?

Because sometimes, the unforgiveness we think is protecting us is the very thing keeping us trapped.

We talk about betrayal, shame, forgiveness, and what it looks like to find your way back to Jesus when you've lost almost everything.

Anthony's story doesn't erase what happened to him. But it reminds us that even when we can't see a future for ourselves, God can.

Sometimes, the chapter you wish you could erase becomesthe hope someone else needs to keep going.

If you've been carrying pain in silence, i pray this conversation reaches the parts of your heart you've been afraid to let anyone see.

And if this episode speaks to you, i'd be so grateful if you'd follow, rate, and share Unspoken with aggie park. You never know what someone is silently fighting, and your one share might be exactly the hope they need to keep going. 💗

Where silence breaks, shame loses its power, and scarsbecome stories of hope.

Content note: Childhood abuse, domestic violence,addiction, and a suicide attempt.

What happens when you can no longer do the things that make you feel worthy of being loved?

i thought the worst part of my accident was seeing my knee split wide open, blood everywhere, and ending up in the ER.

i was wrong.

The real pain came when i couldn't run, couldn't work out, couldn't be productive, and suddenly felt like i had no purpose.

And that's what scared me the most.

Because somewhere deep inside, i still believed that if i wasn't doing enough, i wasn't worth enough.

i knew Jesus loved me. i knew my worth was in Him. i could quote the Scriptures.

So why did i still feel worthless the moment i had nothing to offer?

Turns out, my knee wasn't the only wound that needed healing.

One was from falling on a rock. The other was from growing up believing love had to be earned.

In this very personal episode of Unspoken with aggie park, i share how one painful accident exposed a childhood wound i didn't even realize was still controlling me.

Somewhere along the way, i'd learned that being loved meant being useful. That i had to achieve more, work harder, push myself further, and basically exhaust myself just to feel like i mattered.

And the crazy part? i didn't even realize how deeply i believed that lie.

We get into the messy connection between childhood wounds, perfectionism, disordered eating, overworking, and that exhausting belief that you have to earn your rest, your food, and even your worth.

And here's what really got me. i wasn't exactly running to Jesus during all of this. i was frustrated, feeling sorry for myself, scrolling, watching TV, and honestly avoiding Him.

But He came looking for me anyway.

Because you can know every Bible verse about God's love and still live like you're desperately trying to earn it.

• Why doing nothing can make you feel like you're worth nothing.

• How childhood wounds can make achievement feel like survival.

• Why knowing God's truth doesn't always mean your heart believes it.

• How we learn to treat rest, food, and love like rewards we have to earn.

• Why sometimes the thing God wants to heal isn't the thing that hurts.

Maybe instead of only asking, “God, why did You let this happen?” we need to start asking something else too:

“Jesus, what is this bringing to the surface that i've been too afraid to face?”

Because sometimes the scar doesn't mark where healing ended. It marks where healing finally began.

Scripture: Psalm 147:3 — “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

If any part of this sounds painfully familiar, share this episode with someone who needs the reminder that they don't have to keep exhausting themselves just to be worthy of love.

And if this conversation encouraged you, please follow, subscribe, and leave a rating or review. It helps these stories reach more people who need hope.

Tammy’s story honestly stopped me for a minute.

She was abandoned by her birth mother at two years old. Then at just 22, she was sent to prison for a murder she did not commit.

And she stayed there for 30 years.

Just sit with that for a second.

Thirty years of your life behind bars for something you did not do.
Thirty years carrying an accusation.
Thirty years with every reason to become bitter, angry, numb, or hopeless.

And yet Tammy told me something i haven’t stopped thinking about: “Prison became my testimony.”

Because somewhere behind those walls, Jesus started doing a different kind of freeing.

He began healing the little girl who felt unwanted.
The woman who felt condemned.
The person the world had reduced to a prison number.

And that’s what this episode is really about.

Yes, we talk about wrongful imprisonment, abandonment, rape, suicide, trauma, forgiveness, bitterness, and the kind of pain that can make you wonder how one person survived it all.

But deeper than that, we talk about identity.

What happens when life keeps handing you labels you never asked for?

Unwanted.
Guilty.
Broken.
Criminal.
Too far gone.

And what happens when Jesus starts peeling those labels off one by one?

Tammy’s story reminded me that sometimes healing is not God erasing what happened.

Sometimes it is Him meeting you right in the middle of it and reminding you:

you are still Mine.

If you’ve ever felt like too much time has been lost, too much damage has been done, or too much has happened for your life to still become something beautiful, this conversation is for you.

Tammy lost 30 years. But she did not lose her identity.

They gave her a prison number. Jesus reminded her who she was.

If this episode moves you, please like, follow, and share it with somebody who needs hope right now. One share really can put this story in front of someone who is quietly wondering whether their own life is still redeemable.

What Happens When You Bury the Hurt? Trauma, Church Hurt, Healing & Jesus | Latoya Alston

Latoya Alston knew how to look okay while quietly falling apart.

She survived sexual assault by someone she trusted, abuse in relationships, shame, and the kind of church hurt that can make you question whether the people who talk about God are actually safe. Growing up as a preacher’s kid, she learned how to smile, serve, encourage everyone else—and bury the parts of herself that were bleeding underneath.

Eventually, the pain got so heavy that Latoya stepped away from church.

But Jesus didn’t step away from her.

He met her angry. Confused. Exhausted. Hurt. Unpolished. And somewhere in that season, Latoya began learning that God’s love was never dependent on how much she served, how strong she looked, or how well she performed Christianity.

We talk about what happens when trauma stays buried, the danger of coping through work and ministry, church hurt, identity, forgiveness, healing at the root, and how Rising from the Shadows was born out of the very pain she once wanted to hide.

Because like a physical wound left untreated, buried trauma can spread into healthy parts of our lives—and eventually bleed onto the people we love.

Your pain may explain part of your story.
But it does not get to name you.

If Latoya’s story reminded you of someone you love—or maybe even a part of yourself—please don’t keep this episode to yourself.

Share it with the person who is smiling, serving, showing up, and quietly carrying more than anyone knows. Follow & rate Unspoken with aggie park, and help me get these stories into the hands of people who need to hear that they are still seen, still loved, and still worth fighting for.

Because sometimes one story, shared at the right moment, can be the thing that helps someone finally believe:

maybe i’m not too far gone after all.

What happens when the person who was supposed to protect you is the one who hurt you—and the person you needed to believe you didn’t?

Sharee Simone survived abuse by her father, the devastation of not being believed by her mother, and then another layer of spiritual trauma when people in the church labeled what she was experiencing as demonic possession.

This conversation doesn't shy away from hard things.

We talk about childhood abuse, betrayal, silence, church hurt, spiritual abuse, trauma, identity, survival, healing, and what happens when the places that were supposed to feel safe become part of the wound.

Sharee opens up about what it was like to carry pain she never should have had to carry—and what it took to finally reclaim her voice, her worth, and her life.

Because sometimes the deepest wounds don’t only come from what happened. They come from not being believed afterward.

And sometimes healing begins when someone finally says:

i believe you.
What happened mattered.
And what happened to you does not get to define the rest of your story.

If you have ever survived abuse, been dismissed when you finally spoke up, experienced church hurt, or wondered whether healing was still possible after everything you endured—this conversation is for you.

Unspoken with aggie park is where once-unspoken stories are given a safe place to be spoken—because no one is ever too far gone for love, healing, hope, and redemption.

Some stories are hard to tell because of what was done tous. Others are hard to tell because of what we did ourselves. Cecily’s storycarries both.

In this conversation, we talk about sexual assault,adultery, shame, guilt, repentance, church hurt, and the parts of healing that are not neat or quick. Cecily shares with so much honesty about the shame she carried after being violated, and also the shame she carried after making choices she deeply regretted.

What i love about her story is that she does not excuse what happened to her, and she does not excuse what she did either. She brings both into the light.

And that is where Jesus met her.

We talk about what it feels like to believe you are dirtybecause of what someone did to you, or unforgivable because of what you did. We talk about trying to earn back God’s love, about the church sometimes rushing people through healing, and about learning that repentance and grace can exist in the same story.

This one is for anyone who has ever thought, if people really knew everything about me, they would see me differently.

Jesus already knows.

And He is still not done with you.

Cecily’s story is such a beautiful reminder that shame maybe loud, consequences may be real, and healing may take longer than we want—but none of those things are stronger than the cross.

Cecily is the host of The Higher Pursuit Podcast and author of Repurpose Your Pain.

If you are carrying shame over what happened to you, whatyou have done, or both, i hope this conversation reminds you that your worst chapter does not get to name you.

This is not a polished church testimony. This is witchcraft, demons, deliverance, and the undeniable power ofJesus.

Nelson Seda was deep in hip hopculture, break dancing, graffiti, creativity, and self-expression. Then one week, everything shifted.

He started seeing demons.

He could not sleep. Fear took over.Witchcraft opened doors he did not understand, religion added confusion, and what looked like power became torment, bondage, shame, striving, emptiness, and destruction.

Because that is what the devil does.

He promises power and leaves you enslaved.He promises freedom and fills you with fear.He promises knowledge and drowns you in confusion.He promises control and destroys your peace.

Then Jesus stepped in—and He did not need religion’s permission, approval, or understanding to set Nelson free.

Nelson was delivered through dancingand singing the demons out of him.

Yes you read that right, that may sound too strange for some people—but Jesus is not limited by what religious peoplecan explain.

He is not intimidated by demons.He is not shocked by witchcraft.He is not afraid of your past.He is not confused by your brokenness.
And He does not need your story to look clean before He redeems it.

In this raw conversation, Nelson opens up about witchcraft, spiritual deception, hidden idolatry, Catholicism, shame,deliverance, hip hop culture, identity, and the mercy of Jesus that reached him in the middle of all of it.

Now, nine years born again, Nelson is a Christian rap artist, minister, author, speaker, and church planter.

This is proof that no past is too dark.
No bondage is too deep.
No story is too weird.
And no one is too far gone for Jesus.

This episode is not your typical cute, polished, 'church' appropriate story.

In this episode of Unspoken with aggie park, i sit down with Rachel from Divine Edification for a raw, honest, no-filter conversation about the kind of shame that aches so deep it makes hiding feel safer than being fully known.

Rachel opens up about sexual abuse, wrestling with identity, being in a homosexual relationship, and getting pulled into witchcraft and the occult.

Yeah…we ARE going there.

Why?

We go there because Jesus already went there first.

He stepped into the dark.He stepped into the confusion. He stepped into the brokenness.He stepped into the parts people may judge, whisper about, or never understand.

Jesus already washed it clean.

Jesus already healed it.

Jesus already redeemed it.

This conversation is about what happens when the places that almost destroyed you become the places God uses to show His love, His power, His mercy, His truth, and His freedom.

Rachel’s story is raw.It is bold.It is messy. And It is holy.

Rachel's story is proof that nobody is ever too far gone for Jesus.

Not the girl who feels used.Not the woman stuck in shame.Not the person confused about who they are.Not the one who opened doors they wish they never opened.Not the one who thinks, “God could never want me after this.”

Friend… He still does.

He still wants you.He still loves you.He still heals.He still delivers.He still redeems. He is waiting for YOU to come running home into His loving arms.

This is Unspoken with aggie park.

No shame.

No hiding.

No watered-down testimonies.

Raw. Real. Redeemed.

If this episode speaks to you, share it with someone who needs hope today. And if Unspoken with aggie park has encouraged you, it would mean so much if you would follow, rate, or review on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube so more people can hear these raw stories and know they are never alone.

Season 3 of Unspoken with aggie park is here! To start off this new season, I am sharing one of the most shameful parts of my story. In this episode, I share pieces of a season in my life where rejection, abandonment, and brokenness made me crave love so deeply that it didn't matter who it came from, how it came, or how old they were. My mom left the country to do her own thing. Later, my first boyfriend took my college money. When my dad found out, my passport was taken away, and I was basically imprisoned in the house for a year — yelled at, shamed, and humiliated in private and in public. And then, after all of that, what started as a business relationship with an almost 40-year-old man slowly turned into something confusing, painful, inappropriate, and deeply shameful for my younger 20-year-old self. This episode is about the kind of pain that tricked me into believing being used was the same thing as being loved… and the kind of Jesus who met me there without disgust, without condemnation, and without ever calling me too far gone. It's about what happens when you are so desperate to feel wanted, loved, and wanted that you ignore the warning signs. It's about the shame that tells you to stay silent. But more than anything, this episode is about Jesus. The Jesus who did not turn away from the ugliest parts of my story. The Jesus who did not shame me in the places people would have. The Jesus who stepped into the middle of my mess and covered it with His blood, His mercy, His healing, and His redemption. This is not a neat, polished, church-approved testimony. This is raw. This is real. This is redeemed. And if you have ever believed your story was too messy, too shameful, too far gone, or too broken for Jesus to touch, this episode is for you. His love reaches there too. His blood covers that too. His redemption has no limits.If this episode gave you hope, please share it with someone who needs to be reminded that they are never, ever, ever too far gone for Jesus to love, heal, restore, and redeem.

Have you ever looked at yourself and quietly wondered, “What is wrong with me?”

In this episode of Unspoken with aggie park, i sit down with Caitlin Childs for a real and honest conversation about shame, identity, people-pleasing, boundaries, and what happens when you finally stop becoming who people want you to be.

Caitlin shares how she grew up feeling different, not enough, and convinced that something about her needed to be fixed. She followed the rules. She tried to be “right.” She tried to be accepted. But religious performance could not heal what only Jesus could touch.

We talk about the quiet ones, the loud ones, the creative ones, the emotional ones, the misunderstood ones — and the ones who learned to shape-shift just to keep people close.

But here is the hard truth: some people do not love the real you.

They love the version of you that stays small, easy, silent, convenient, and controllable.

And that is not love.
That is access.

This episode is for the one who is tired of fake peace, fake love, and relationships that only work when you abandon yourself.

Because sometimes healing looks like disappointing people.
Sometimes obedience looks like boundaries.
Sometimes freedom looks like being misunderstood.
And sometimes the version of you they reject is the very version God is restoring.

You do not have to shrink to be loved.
You do not have to perform to belong.
You do not have to keep living dim because someone else is uncomfortable with the way God made you shine.

If this episode encouraged you, please follow, rate, and share the podcast with someone who needs to hear it. It helps these raw, honest stories reach more people who may be quietly walking through the same struggles and need to be reminded they are not alone — and that Jesus is still healing, restoring, and redeeming.

And if you have a prayer request, you can send it to me. i would truly be honored to pray with you.

In this episode of Unspoken with aggie park, i sit down with Dr. Hartford Dawson for a conversation that is raw, powerful, emotional, and such a deep reminder that God never wastes pain.

Dr. Dawson went on a mission trip to Ghana, and what he saw there broke his heart.

Children were sick, crying, lying on the floor, and suffering with little to no access to medical care. No relief. No hospital nearby. No one able to give them the help they desperately needed.

But when he came back to New York, life got busy. Work, responsibilities, survival, and all the everyday things we all understand. Slowly, the burden got buried.

Until one day, Dr. Dawson found himself critically sick in the ICU. And in that place, God reminded him of the pain those children in Ghana were experiencing every single day.

Then God gave him what sounded like an impossible assignment:

Build them a hospital.

No clear plan. No funding. No easy path. Just a calling from God.

What followed was 12 years of sacrifice, tears, betrayal, prayer, fasting, perseverance, hard work, faith, and obedience. And today, by the grace of God, the first children’s hospital in Eastern Ghana has been completed and is now serving children and families who desperately need medical care.

This episode is for the person who feels called to something bigger than themselves but feels tired, delayed, unseen, unqualified, or discouraged.

Please don’t quit.

No matter how hard it gets.
No matter who does not believe in you.
No matter how impossible it feels.
No matter how long it takes.

If Jesus called you to it, He will be faithful to walk with you through it in His perfect timing and His perfect way.

Dr. Dawson’s story is proof that when God gives you a burden you cannot shake, a vision bigger than you, and the grace to keep going when nothing looks possible… He can take one impossible whisper, stretch it through years of obedience, and turn one surrendered yes into something that brings healing, hope, and life to generations.

This week’s encouragement:

Ask God honestly, “LORD, what are the seemingly impossible things You want to display Your power, grace, and glory through in my life?”

Be bold in your prayers. There is absolutely nothing our God cannot do.

But also pray that He keeps your heart pure and humble before Him, so that whatever He builds through you will always point back to Him.

If this episode encouraged you, please share it with someone who needs to be reminded that their pain is not wasted, their calling still matters, and God can build something beautiful through one surrendered yes.

And i would love to hear from you — what part of Dr. Dawson’s story challenged your faith the most? Comment, message me, or share this episode with someone who is trying to keep going in the middle of a long obedience.

In this powerful testimony on Unspoken with aggie park, Tia Weisinger opens up about the deep ache of not feeling good enough — and how that wound followed her through toxic relationships, abusive relationships, and five different marriages.

Tia shares how shame, rejection, and brokenness made her believe no one else could truly love her… and eventually, she entered a relationship with a woman because she thought a woman couldn’t hurt her the way men had.

But what she found is something so many of us quietly discover: no human love can heal the wound only Jesus can touch.

This conversation is raw, honest, tender, and full of grace. Tia’s story is such a powerful reminder that there is no pain too deep, no shame too heavy, no past too messy, and no heart too broken for Jesus to heal.

If you have ever stayed somewhere that was breaking you because you didn’t believe you deserved better, this episode will meet you in a really honest place.

Listen now to Tia Weisinger’s powerful testimony on Unspoken with aggie park.

And if this touched a place in your heart you’re still learning to surrender, comment “still healing” — let’s pray and walk the healing journey together. 🤍

This conversation with Rosemary will hit home for so many who are quietly struggling while looking strong on the outside.

When we talked on the phone before the interview, she shared how she looked strong and put togetheron the outside… but inside she was dying just trying to survive. i nodded the whole time because i’ve lived that.

Smiling, achieving, showing up… while quietly breaking inside.

Maybe you can relate.

Rosemary’s story is marked by deep loss and trauma — an abusive, alcoholic father, losing him at nine, losing her mother to suicide at sixteen, and learning to navigate life without anyone stepping in to help her. So she became strong. High-functioning. Accomplished. But success, alcohol and drugs didn’t heal what grief and shame had built.

At 30, she couldn’t pretend and mask it anymore. She broke. And that breaking became the doorway to real surrender…and real freedom.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to stop surviving and actually live. To stop performing strength and become secure in who God truly created you to be. Notpeople-pleasing for love...but walking in obedience and identity.

And let me just say ...yes, this is deep, but Rosemary is hilarious. Like actually cracking-me-up funny. So you’re getting wisdom and endorphins in one episode.

If you’ve ever looked blessed and successful on the outside but are suffocating inside, this is for you.

You were for more than survival. And surrender? It isn’t the end of you…it’s the beginning of who you were always meant to become. 🤍

This episode hits different.

Alicia shares her story while she’s still in the middle of it—before the healing is complete, before the answers are clear, before anything is tied up neatly.

From being adopted at just seven weeks old to walking through trauma, addiction, domestic violence, prison, homelessness, betrayal, and survival choices, she doesn’t clean it up or pretend it didn’t shape her.

This isn’t a victory story.It’s an honesty story.

By God’s grace, Alicia is rebuilding her life in real time—remaining sober, learning who she is beyond survival, and choosing to keep going even when the road is hard and uncertain.

Your story doesn’t carry power and purpose because it’s finished. It carries power and purpose because it’s honest.
And you can’t feed an eternal soul with temporary highs.

If you’re tired of polished testimonies…
If you’re doing the work but still hurting…
If your story feels unfinished—

This episode will meet you right where you are.

And if this conversation moves you, please share it. There are so many people still in the middle—still hurting, still fighting, still trying to believe there’s hope. This might be the kind of honest truth and hope someone needs right now.

Unfiltered. Unfinished. Still worthy. 🤍

In this episode of Unspoken with aggie park, i sit with Dorsey Ross and we talk about the kind of pain that doesn’t resolve neatly—or quickly.

Dorsey was born with Apert syndrome and has endured 68 surgeries. But this conversation isn’t about numbers or shock value. It's about identity. It’s about what it costs to live in a body the world doesn’t understand. To be stared at before being known. To be judged before being heard.

Dorsey shares honestly about growing up feeling different, about carrying pain for years, and about the quiet moments where he wrestled with whether he was enough—or whether life was worth continuing at all. He opens up about the thoughts no one wants to admit, the seasons when faith felt fragile, and how he had to relearn—again and again—who he is in Christ when the world kept trying to define him by what it could see.

We talk about the truth many don’t say out loud—that walking with Jesus doesn’t remove the pain, and faith often means learning how to stay when the suffering doesn’t leave.

This isn’t a story about being strong.It’s about being honest.About surviving days you didn’t think you could survive.
About choosing life when hope felt thin.

Dorsey is also the host of the Dorsey Ross Show, an author, and an evangelist—but more than anything, he’s a living reminder that you don’t have to be healed, fixed, or whole to be deeply loved by God.

If you’ve ever felt unseen in your suffering…If you’ve ever questioned your worth because of your body, your past, or your pain…If you’ve ever wondered whether your faith still “counts” when the struggle doesn’t go away…

This conversation is for you.

Still His image.
Still His masterpiece.

In this episode, i wrestle out loud with a question many of us quietly carry:
Is self-love always wrong—or did we misunderstand what God was asking of us?

Yes, Jesus calls us to love.
Yes, He calls us to forgive—even our enemies.
But love and forgiveness do not automatically mean access, proximity, or relationship.

Sometimes we confuse being “Christ-like” with being constantly available, tolerating harm, or shrinking ourselves to keep the peace.
But staying in relationships that consistently belittle, wound, or drain you does not honor God—it slowly prevents you from becoming who Jesus created you to be.

This episode is a reminder that:

• Love doesn’t have to look like being best friends with everyone

• Forgiveness doesn’t require reconciliation in every situation

• It is okay—holy, even—to love people from a distance

God never called us to live exhausted, resentful, or empty while trying to love well.
He desires our obedience with joy, and that joy flows when our cup is filled with Him.

Jesus isn’t only present in church or spiritual moments.
He’s with us in the everyday—in rest, movement, creativity, errands, and caring for the body and life He entrusted to us.

Loving yourself the right way isn’t selfish.
It’s stewardship.
Remember, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and your life matters to God to you know. If you’ve ever felt guilty for needing boundaries…If you’ve stayed too long out of fear, obligation, or shame…This conversation is for you.

Welcome to the very first story of season 2 of Unspoken with Aggie Park—a space where we tell the truth about healing. The parts we’ve walked through and the parts we’re still walking through. Because even in the middle of it all, we are deeply loved and already redeemed.

Today’s conversation is really special to me. i get to sit down with my dear sister Neena Perez—and her story is one that carries so much honesty, courage, and grace.

Neena has walked through abuse, teen pregnancy, domestic violence and homelessness. And instead of letting those chapters define her, God has rewrote her pain into purpose. Today, she’s using the very scars she’s still healing from to bring hope to others through her ministry, The Purpose-Filled Kitchen.

And i love this so much because i love food! Anyone else? ^.^ And even though food is simple, it’s powerful. It brings people together. It slows us down. It creates space. And Neena shows us how God can use something so ordinary to do something deeply healing and sacred.

This episode fits right into the heart of Season 2—being real, raw, and honest about our current struggles. Neena doesn’t come on sharing a perfect ending. She shares the middle. The tension. The waiting. The places where faith and pain exist at the same time.

• How trauma can distort how we see ourselves—and how God gently restores our identity

• What God has already healed, and what He is still healing

• How to keep trusting Jesus when you believe He can heal you, but it hasn’t happened yet

• Encouragement for anyone who feels like their setbacks outweigh their victories

• How God called Neena to minister through food as a way to bring healing and hope

• Why slowing down is so hard—and how to learn to rest with Jesus without guilt or fear

If you’ve ever felt discouraged in your healing…
If you’ve wondered why it feels harder instead of easier…
If you’ve questioned whether God is still working in you…

This conversation is for you.

Neena’s life is a reminder that healing doesn’t have to be complete for God to use it. That being in process doesn’t disqualify you. And that showing up—honestly, imperfectly, and surrendered—is enough.

To everyone listening: you are not weak for struggling. you are not behind. you are not failing.
God sees you. He is with you. And He is still writing your story.

If this episode encouraged you, please share it. Someone you love may be quietly carrying more than they can carry, and this could be the reminder they need—that they are not alone, that healing is real, and that Jesus still brings victory, even in seasons that feel unfinished.

If you’re carrying something heavy, you can always DM me or Neena on instagram @un_spokenpod and @chefneenaperez
you don’t have to carry it alone, because you were never meant to.

Thank you for being part of the Unspoken family.
Until next time—keep choosing honesty, keep choosing grace, and keep showing up, even when healing feels unfinished!

When The LORD placed the dream of starting a podcast in my heart, i had no experience, no blueprint, and no idea how it would work. i only heard Him whisper, “Just trust Me.”

And some days, that was all i had—His voice, holding me together when nothing else made sense.

Still, i said yes.

Not because i felt qualified or ready—but because i remembered who HE is.

When doubt crept in, i looked back at the countless times Jesus had already come through. One of the clearest was when i was 17 years old and moved from Indonesia to the United States completely alone. No plan. No provision. No idea where i would live.

But God…
but GOD.

Just three days before college started, He placed me in a home where the landlord was an elder and a pastor. i know their prayers covered me in ways i didn’t understand back then—but they shaped my walk with Jesus in ways i still see today.

What looked like an impossible, dead-end situation became a place of safety, growth, and purpose.

That’s why i believe remembering His faithfulness matters. Because memory becomes fuel. It strengthens our faith for the next step—the next seemingly impossible yes.

The Bible tells us the ten lepers were healed as they walked. The miracle didn’t come after clarity—it came IN obedience.

This episode is for anyone standing in the in-between. If God has asked you to move and fear is louder than answers, remember this: the same God who carried you before will carry you again.

When He leads, He provides.When He calls, He equips.

May remembering all He has already done give you courage for your next yes to Jesus—the one that feels too big, too scary, too impossible.

Keep walking. Keep trusting. Keep believing. Keep doing. And all in and for Jesus' praiseworthy Name!

Hi Unspoken family 🤍

i hope through season 1 you’ve felt seen, held, and less alone. i’ve prayed over every episode—that each story would reach the heart that feels tired, confused, or quietly breaking, and remind them that hope and healing are still possible—even in the middle of the mess.

As i step into season 2, i’ve been sitting with The LORD and asking a harder question—one that doesn’t come with easy answers:
What do You want to reveal now, not after i’m healed, but while i’m still becoming?

Unspoken will always be raw, real, and redeemed. But God has gently convicted me of something i can’t ignore: people don’t just need stories of victory. They need honesty about the process.

If you haven’t listened to the very first episode where i shared my testimony, here’s the heart behind this next season:

i grew up in abuse, neglect, bullying, and silence. i learned early that it wasn’t safe to be myself. Pieces of who God created me to be were buried under survival, shame, and pain.

Jesus has redeemed my story and restored my God-given identity—but healing hasn’t been instant, clean, or complete. it’s often messy, discouraging, and exhausting—requiring patience, grace, and the courage to keep showing up even when nothing feels resolved.Healing isn’t a finish line. It’s a daily choosing—to stay, to feel, to fight. i still struggle.
with food.with exercise.
with depression.with suicidal thoughts.
with self-harm.

And saying that out loud is part of the healing.

Yes—you can love Jesus deeply.
Yes—you can be in therapy.
And yes—you can still wrestle in ways that feel heavy, confusing, and exhausting.

Faith doesn’t erase wounds. And silence only keeps people trapped in shame.

Alongside this season, i’m also in the process of writing a 40-day devotional—a journey of becoming who Jesus created us to be before pain, trauma, and survival patterns stole pieces of us away. It’s being written in real time, with honesty—not just sharing what God has healed, but also the places where i’m still learning to trust Him, still unlearning lies, still choosing truth on hard days.

This season, and this devotional, come from the same place: a desire to be honest about what redemption looks like in motion. To share wisdom God has given me through healing—and to be just as open about where i am still struggling, still surrendering, still asking Him to meet me again.

If we only share the highlight reels, how can anyone believe healing is possible right now—in the middle of their pain? Not someday. Not once they’re “fixed.” Not when everything feels put together.

My prayer is that my honesty gives others permission to stop hiding. To come before Jesus and each other exactly as they are—scarred, tender, imperfect, but still loved.

Because the truth is: none of us are perfect. Not here. Not yet.
On this side of eternity, we are all carrying something. And if we can’t be honest with one another, how can true healing ever begin?

For season 2, God is calling me into a series focused on the struggles i am walking through right now—the ones He is still redeeming in real time. i don’t have all the answers. i don’t know exactly what this will look like. But i trust His leading.

Episodes may come weekly, biweekly, monthly, or unexpectedly often—because i don’t want to rush His process. i want to remain surrendered to His timing and the stories He wants told, not the ones that feel safest.

Thank you for being part of the Unspoken family. Thank you for holding space for truth, tension, and grace. i pray we continue this journey together—learning, unlearning, and becoming who He always intended us to be, in awe of His power, His patience, and His faithfulness.

With much love,

aggie

Today’s guest is living proof that life doesn’t shrink as you get older — it EXPANDS (sometimes with a passport, a crown, and Scripture memorized along the way 😅).

Kerry Damiano — aka Ms. World Traveler — has visited 130+ countries, all 50 states, designed her own clothes and jewelry, coached generations of pageant queens, and built a lasting legacy in the fashion and beauty industry… all while hiding God’s Word in her heart like a spiritual ninja. Honestly Kerry, you put the rest of us to shame — in the best way.

She’s bold, single, joy-filled, stylish, unafraid to start over (even after failed businesses), and now living financially free and fully alive. This episode is especially close to my heart because we dive into the big questions many in the beauty, fashion, and pageant world quietly wrestle with:

👉 Can a faithful Christ-follower compete in pageants and still honor the Lord?
👉 Is loving beauty and fashion sinful — or misunderstood?
👉 What happens when trust and obedience lead the way?

Spoiler alert: God is not afraid of beauty. He created it.

In this honest and joy-filled conversation, Kerry shares:

✨ Why she said yes to traveling the world — and how those 130+ countries shaped her faith, courage, and identity
✨ How business failure didn’t disqualify her — it refined her
✨ The freedom and fulfillment found in singleness, purpose, and adventure
✨ The biggest misconceptions about pageants (yes, even in Christian circles) — and the truth behind them
✨ A biblical response to verses often used to shame women for loving beauty, style, or femininity
✨ How Christian women can confidently honor God while competing, creating, and expressing beauty
✨ What pageants are really about once you peel back the clichés
✨ How Scripture, purpose, and ministry have anchored her life
✨ And a powerful reminder for anyone who feels it’s “too late” — it’s not

This episode is for the woman who loves Jesus and lipstick.
For the creative who’s been told to dim her light.
For the dreamer who buried her calling because fear got louder than faith.

Kerry reminds us that beauty and purpose can coexist, that loving fashion isn’t a sin, and that trust and obedience to God change everything. Walking with Him is not boring — it’s the greatest adventure you’ll ever live.

If this episode encouraged you, please rate, review, and share it — you never know whose calling might be unlocked through your obedience!

There are people whose lives remind you that God is still writing wild, unexplainable, miraculous stories on the earth… and today, you’re about to meet one of them.

Byron Easterling has spent 46 years in ministry, logged over three million miles in the air, and stepped into more nations than most people will ever dream of. His life is full of stories — prison cells in Turkey, healings in Scotland, moments of danger, moments of glory, and the relentless goodness of God woven through every chapter.

What i love about Byron is this:
he doesn’t tell these stories to make himself look strong.
He tells them to make Jesus look faithful.

He reminds us that the same Jesus who healed the blind, raised the dead, and conquered sin, hell, and death…
is still moving today.
Still speaking.
Still breaking chains.
Still meeting ordinary people with extraordinary grace.

His life is a reminder that obedience is the foundation of everything, that miracles still happen, and that faith isn’t theory — it’s lived, walked, wrestled with, and trusted one brave step at a time.

May Byron’s stories awaken something deep in you —the courage to say yes again,the humility to listen again,and the boldness to believe God for more than what you’ve seen.

If today stirred your heart, don’t push it down.

God is inviting you into a bigger story.

In this episode, we walk through:

1. How did 46 years of ministry even begin — and how did God confirm the calling?

2. What moment broke Byron open the most… and how did God meet him there?

3. After decades of ministry across nations, what has surprised him most about how God speaks?

4. What would he say to skeptics who believe miracles only happened “back then”?

5. When did obedience cost him the most — and how did it transform his faith?

6. What would he tell believers who feel numb, weary, or like God is silent?

7. Which story from his upcoming “Curious Tales of a Common Man” series does the world need right now?

8. And after a lifetime of global ministry — what’s the one truth he wants every listener to carry?

Today’s episode is not a polished “how-to” on overcoming addiction. It’s a conversation about the fight — the real, gritty, in-the-middle fight — where Jesus steps into the mess long before we ever reach the finish line.

My guest, Hampig, founder of Turning Point Journey (turningpointjourney.com | IG: @turningpointjourney), knows firsthand what it means to battle addiction with Jesus, not after getting clean, not after hitting perfection — but right in the chaos of the struggle.

He doesn’t speak from theory. He speaks from trenches, relapse, grace, and the relentless love of a God who refuses to walk away.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What life looked like for Hampig before the turning point

• How he began letting God into the fight instead of hiding the fight from God

• The “middle space” — where you’re not who you used to be, but not free yet

• Showing up again after setbacks, slips, or slow progress

• Learning that grace is part of recovery, not evidence of failure

• How God rebuilds identity, trust, faith, and hope after addiction

• The kind of community a struggling person really needs

• What Hampig knows about God’s love now… that he didn’t understand before

• A message for the listener who’s ashamed, tired, or still hiding

This episode is for anyone who is fighting, falling, or getting back up again — anyone who thinks their mess disqualifies them from God’s love.

It doesn’t.

Jesus doesn’t wait for the story to be pretty.
He meets you in the middle of the chaos — and that’s where healing begins.
