    It's Okay To Be Angry – Eryn Eddy Adkins

    In this raw, unfiltered solo episode, Eryn opens up about anger, faith, betrayal, and what it looks like to rebuild trust after everything falls apart. Sometimes the hardest conversations are the ones we have with ourselves. And sometimes the ones we've been avoiding with God. This episode is about what happens when you stop performing your faith and start being honest about how heartbroken you feel. It's about the lies we believe when life doesn't go the way we thought it would, the anger we're afraid to admit, and the freedom that comes when we finally stop pretending we have it all together. Eryn talks about growing up in a home where faith was modeled with grace, not legalism. She talks about the moment everything unraveled in her marriage, the secrets she didn't know existed, and the isolation that followed. She also gets real about dating after divorce, searching for worth in all the wrong places, and the exhaustion of trying to fix your life on your own. This conversation is for anyone who's ever felt betrayed by God, burned out on religion, or too broken to come back. It's for the person who's angry and doesn't know how to say it out loud. It's for the one who's tired of performing and ready to be known. Your mistakes don't disqualify you. Your anger doesn't scare him. And your exhaustion is exactly where he meets you. This episode covers: what it's like to be angry at God and why that's okay the difference between performing faith and experiencing it navigating betrayal, divorce, and public heartbreak dating after divorce and searching for worth in attention the moment God met her with a question instead of shame how exhaustion can become the doorway to intimacy with God learning to trust again after being betrayed why grace is not a free pass but a lifeline If you've ever felt like you did everything right and still got hurt, or if you're exhausted from trying to live up to everyone's expectations, this episode will remind you that your anger is valid, your story matters, and you're not too far gone. As always, know your worth and remind others of theirs. Follow So Worth Loving: www.instagram.com/soworthloving Follow Eryn at www.instagram.com/eryneddy

    How to stop tying your self-worth to work – Scottie Parker

    Your worth isn't tied to your work, but it can feel impossible to separate the two. In this bonus room session, Eryn Eddy Adkins sits down with high performance coach, former NBA athletic trainer, and author Scottie Parker to talk about what happens when your identity becomes wrapped up in what you do instead of who you are. Scottie opens up about spending 12 years in professional sports, working with the Seattle Seahawks during their Super Bowl win, and eventually landing with the Atlanta Hawks. But behind the success was a man struggling with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and a complete unraveling of faith. He shares the moment everything caught up with him, the lie he believed about his meaning being tied to the NBA, and the soul surgery it took to break free. They talk about the difference between emotional health and spiritual health, why you can have one without the other, and how lying to yourself keeps you stuck. Scottie gets real about isolation after injury, the pressure players face when their bodies fail them, and what it looks like to stand with someone in their darkest moment without trying to fix them. He also shares a wild God moment involving a license plate at 2:30 in the morning that gave him just enough hope to keep going. If you've ever felt lost to yourself, tied your value to your performance, or wondered if God still sees you in the mess, this conversation will remind you that you're not too far gone. Your worth was never meant to be earned. About Scottie Parker: Scottie Parker is a high performance coach, injury rehab specialist, and health consultant. He spent 12 years working in professional sports, including time with the Portland Trail Blazers, Seattle Seahawks, and Atlanta Hawks. He's also a husband, father of three, and author working on his first book about running, death, and the return home. His work focuses on helping people integrate physical, emotional, social, and spiritual health.

    Eryn Eddy Adkins – Owning Your Mistakes Before They Own You | The Painful Process of Rebuilding

    Welcome to the So Worth Loving podcast. In this deeply personal inaugural episode, host Eryn Eddy Adkins opens up about the painful journey that brought this podcast to life—nine years after she first announced it. Eryn shares the raw, unfiltered story of how constantly saying "it's okay" and "it's fine" led to a complete implosion of her life. She candidly discusses the ending of her marriage, the loss of her business partner, community, and reputation, and finding herself at 30 years old back in her parents' guest bedroom with $10 in her bank account and $150,000 in debt. This episode explores: • The dangerous pattern of people-pleasing and seeking validation from others • How numbing yourself to your own needs creates a slow-building crisis • The isolation of losing everything—community, marriage, career, and self-respect • Seeking love in all the wrong places after divorce • The moment she realized she had no self-respect left • A stranger's act of kindness at a coffee shop that became a turning point • The difference between "living your truth" and actually living in truth • Why a few people who stayed made all the difference in rebuilding Eryn doesn't claim to be an expert on knowing your worth—she's an expert on struggling with worth. And that's exactly what makes this conversation so powerful. If you've ever felt like you've lost yourself in the pursuit of being loved, valued, or seen—this episode is for you. You'll hear honest talk about mistakes, betrayal (both chosen and received), the painful process of forgiveness, and what it actually takes to rebuild your life from the ground up. Because it's common to feel unworthy of love, but uncommon to talk about it. So let's talk about it.
