Ep. 31 - The Weight of SHAME: Identity under Fire

from Godly Conversations Podcast · host Uwem Akpan

Shame has a way of shrinking you.It doesn’t just wound — it whispers. It tells you to hide, to downplay your gifts, to believe you’re an imposter. For years, I let shame silence my voice and bury my talents, convincing me I didn’t belong.But healing changes everything.As my shame began to lift, my confidence resurrected. My voice grew stronger. My purpose came back to life.In The Weight of Shame: Identity Under Fire, I share my own journey of breaking free from shame’s grip, how it fed my imposter syndrome, and what it took to reclaim my identity. If you’ve ever felt unworthy, unseen, or afraid to step fully into who you are, this conversation is for you.It’s time to stop letting shame write your story — and start walking free.📩 Connect with UwemEmail: [[email protected]]📲 Follow me on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uwemakpanofficial Twitter: https://twitter.com/iamuwemakpan Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uwemakpanofficialTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@uwemakpanofficial
