About this listen

Ever felt like you’re not measuring up, spiritually, culturally, or in your own community? In this episode, we talk about the ways shame creeps in when we don’t live up to the expectations around us. Whether it’s struggling with addiction, mental health, or sexuality, too many of us have been told to just "pray about it" as if that alone will fix everything.

We unpack how religious traditions can sometimes compound these struggles, and why real support often looks different than the advice we were raised with. This one’s tender, honest, and a little bit fiery—in true AJ and Ally fashion.
