Unspoken with Aggie Park: Why i Started This Podcast

For years, people told me to forgive and forget. They thought it was good advice, but those words kept me silent. They made me feel like my pain wasn’t worth mentioning, like my voice didn’t matter. so i swallowed it all, buried it, and tried to move on.

But here’s the truth: forgiveness without honesty isn’t healing. silence doesn’t make wounds disappear — it just makes them deeper.

For a long time, i believed my story wasn’t worth telling. but God reminded me that no part of my life — not the brokenness, not the shame, not the pieces i wished never happened — is wasted in His hands. Jesus can heal, redeem, and use it all for His glory. that’s when He stirred in me the vision for Unspoken with aggie park — a space where no story is “too messy” or “too shameful” to be spoken.

The lies i believed

i thought being a Christian meant always having it together. Smile big, act strong, don’t let anyone see the cracks. If i struggled with depression, bitterness, or trauma, i told myself i must not be a “good” Christ follower. and if i admitted those struggles out loud? The shame would crush me.

i carried unhealed trauma for years — holding onto what was done to me, replaying it in my mind, letting it shape how i saw myself. deep down, i felt overlooked, unworthy, and silenced. i thought maybe i wasn’t enough, and maybe i had failed God too. That lie left me with a low view of myself. i told myself i wasn’t worthy of love, not from people and not from God.

But one day, in my quiet prayer, Jesus broke through that lie. He whispered, “I never asked you to forget. I asked you to bring it to Me.” and slowly, painfully, He began to untangle the knot inside me.

Healing didn’t come overnight. sometimes it felt like one step forward, five steps back, but then i found voices like With The Perrys, In Totality, and The Deep End. They weren’t afraid to be honest about their battles. They showed me that struggling didn’t mean i was faithless — it meant i was human, and i was still in the fight.

For the first time, i gave myself permission to heal at God’s pace. to let His patience and grace be bigger than my shame. and little by little, freedom began to break through.

God’s call

When God put podcasting on my heart, i laughed. “LORD, i don’t even know the first thing about podcasting.”

But God was already moving. He connected me with the founder of the Erasing Shame podcast, and i was invited to co-host Season 8. that experience opened my eyes — not only was God answering my prayer, He was preparing me for something bigger.

that’s how Unspoken with aggie park was born.

my hope and prayer

This podcast is my “yes” to God. but it’s also my “yes” to you.

My prayer is that Unspoken won’t just be something you listen to, but a community where shame dies and stories come alive. a place where things that were once buried can finally be spoken, and in speaking them, healing begins.

i believe one story can start a ripple. one person speaks up, then another, then another — until honesty and healing spread wider and deeper than we ever imagined.

If you’ve ever been told to “just forgive and forget”… if you’ve ever felt like you had to hide your pain to look like a “good Christian”… if you’ve ever believed your story was too broken for God — this is for you.

Together, we’ll carry each other’s burdens, pray for one another, and walk in the freedom Jesus already won for us on the cross.

So welcome, friend. this is where the unspoken gets spoken, and where shame finally loses its grip. my prayer is that as you listen, you’ll hear Jesus whisper to you what He whispered to me: “I never asked you to forget. I asked you to bring it to Me.”
