Show Notes
This is the moment where we pause, look back, and remember what this whole season was about. Season one of the So Worth Loving Podcast wasn't just a collection of episodes. It was a journey through the hardest, most vulnerable parts of being human: betrayal, divorce, addiction, shame, loneliness, dating after heartbreak, and the exhausting work of rebuilding when everything falls apart.
In this season wrap up, Eryn pulls together the most powerful moments from every conversation this season. The clips that made people stop scrolling. The truths that hit hard. The moments that reminded us we're not alone. From forgiveness and faith to control and comparison, from post-traumatic growth to the loneliness of entrepreneurship, this episode is a compilation of the wisdom, honesty, and hope that defined season one.
You'll hear from guests who opened up about pornography addiction, the search for control through tarot and crystals, the weight of feeling disposable after divorce, the isolation of tying your identity to your work, and the moment God showed up in a parking lot at 2:30 in the morning with a license plate that said, "God is for you."
This episode is for anyone who's ever felt lost to themselves, even if they weren't lost to God. It's for the person who's been hiding in the dark, waiting for someone to come find them. It's for the one who's been searching for worth in all the wrong places. And it's for anyone who needs a reminder that progress matters more than perfection, that your story isn't over, and that you are so deeply loved.
Season two is coming November, and it's going to be good. But for now, let's take a breath and remember what we've learned together.

Money is one of those things we all deal with but rarely talk about honestly. In this vulnerable conversation, Eryn sits down with financial advisor Tyler Weyenberg to unpack the emotional weight of finances, the shame that comes with debt, and the freedom that comes when you stop tying your self-worth to your net worth.
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

Control feels safe until you realize it's keeping you small. In this episode, Eryn Eddy Adkins sits down with entrepreneur, boutique owner, designer, and Good Grit Magazine co-founder Shelly Brown to unpack the hidden ways we search for control when life feels chaotic.
