About this listen

Welcome to The Never Alone Podcast with Iris Fischer Smith — Episode 19.

In this heartfelt and honest episode, Iris, Karen, and returning guest Ann Averill talk about that “little voice inside” — the conscience.

From childhood stories about Girl Scouts, incubators, and swimming pools…
to teenage rebellion, shame, and identity struggles…
to adult consequences and spiritual freedom…

This episode explores:

  • When do we first recognize right and wrong?
  • What’s the difference between guilt and shame?
  • How do small compromises shape our identity?
  • Why do we sometimes ignore our conscience?
  • And how do forgiveness and faith restore what’s broken?

Ann shares openly about how years of violating her conscience eventually led to a deeper spiritual awakening — discovering that true freedom comes not from hiding our failures, but from bringing them into the light.

If you’ve ever wrestled with regret, shame, or identity — this conversation will encourage you.
