In Part 2, Kristina shares the healing side of her journey. What did it look like to walk with God through betrayal, release control, and let go of the need to hold everything together?

This episode isn’t about quick answers or easy redemption. It’s about the process of surrender… the kind that rebuilds your identity, restores what was broken, and leads to places you never thought possible.

Kristina’s story is a reminder that surrender isn’t losing... it’s where healing begins.

In Part 1, Kristina shares who she was before marriage, driven by performance, control, and the constant feeling of never being enough. What looked strong on the outside was often fueled by pressure on the inside.

But God was already moving, gently unraveling those patterns and beginning a deeper work of healing in her identity.

This episode isn’t just the setup to betrayal. It’s the foundation. The place where God began redefining who she was before everything shifted.

Confessions of a Glow Up is about the kind of transformation that doesn’t always happen out loud. The kind that shifts how you see yourself, how you show up, and how you move forward.

Through real conversations and personal reflections, this podcast creates room for growth at every stage of life.

If you’re in a season where something in you is changing… this is for you.

And if you know a woman or teen walking through that same kind of growth, share it with her.

In this episode, Zion shares her story of growing up with bullying in middle school that caused her to question her beauty, her body, and her worth. The words spoken over her didn’t just hurt in the moment, they slowly became the lens through which she saw herself.

As she healed and grew, Zion would later compete in pageants, stepping onto stages with a confidence that comes from Jesus.

In this honest conversation, Zion reflects on how those early wounds shaped her identity, the powerful role her mom played in helping her see herself differently, and how her relationship with Jesus began to replace the voices of the past with truth.

This episode is for anyone who has ever believed the wrong story about themselves and is learning to see their identity through God’s eyes instead of the words of others.
