Shame often hides in the roles we care about most — marriage and motherhood.

In this powerful conversation on Legacy Life with the Lacefields, Megan interviews Christian author Shayla Huber about healing shame in marriage and motherhood and discovering your true identity in Christ

Raised in church but carrying unresolved trauma, Shayla describes what she calls being an “orphan Christian” — believing in God but not fully receiving His love. That internal shame followed her into marriage, where self-criticism and insecurity shaped communication, and into motherhood, where overstimulation and perfectionism created frustration and guilt.

Through mentorship, inner healing, and a renewed understanding of God’s love, Shayla experienced radical transformation. She went from striving for approval to resting in her identity as a daughter of God.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How shame affects Christian marriage
• Why motherhood often exposes unresolved trauma
• How to stop self-criticism as a Christian mom
• Breaking generational patterns through faith
• The difference between striving and surrender
• How to respond instead of react in parenting
• Why identity in Christ changes marriage and motherhood
• The power of mentorship and spiritual guidance
• Growing spiritually as a young wife and mom
• How to build a legacy rooted in love instead of fear

Healing shame begins when you stop asking, “What’s wrong with me?” and start believing, “I belong.”

You are not called to perform for God’s love.
You are called to receive it.

When you live from identity instead of insecurity, your marriage softens, your parenting steadies, and your legacy shifts.
