You don't need bruises to be believed here.
Welcome, Mama.
If you’re holding it together on the outside but breaking on the inside, if you’ve been dismissed, disbelieved, or silenced—I made this space for you.
This is a refuge for Christian mothers walking through emotional and spiritual abuse, especially the kind that doesn’t leave marks, but still leaves you shattered.
You don’t have to explain your pain here. You don’t have to prove anything.
You are already believed.

Unshaken: A Guide
For Christian Mothers Rebuilding After Abuse and Divorce
Unshaken is a Christ-centered guide for women healing from emotional and legal abuse. With biblical truth and trauma-informed insight, it equips you to break free from control, protect your children, and rebuild your identity in Christ.
You don’t have to stay silent. You’re not alone. And you were never meant to carry this alone.
You are Seen. You are Not Alone.
If you’re a Christian mother trying to hold it all together in a reality no one prepared you for—I see you.
If maybe you’ve left, or are still trying to find the strength to—I understand.
If the abuse hasn’t stopped but has just changed forms—I get it.
If you’ve been told to forgive. Told to submit. Told to stay quiet—I’ve felt the sting of those words too.
If you’ve walked into church with a broken heart and walked out feeling even more invisible, you’re not alone.
If you’ve questioned your sanity, your worth, or your ability to parent in the middle of chaos—I have too.
If you’re trying to raise a whole child while your own soul is still healing, I know exactly what that fight feels like.
This space was created for you.
Not the polished version of you. Not the version who always has the right words.
The real you. The weary, courageous, fire-walking mother who refuses to give up.
You are not crazy.
You are not weak.
You are not overreacting.
You are a mother in the fire—and you are fiercely, deeply seen.
Welcome.

ABOUT ME
I’m Leona Grey—writer, mother, and survivor.
Unshaken: Healing After Abuse was born from my journey through emotional abuse, custody battles, and the quiet strength it takes to rebuild.
This space exists for women walking through fire—especially those who feel unseen in faith communities. You’re not crazy. You’re not alone. And you’re not broken.
There is a way forward. Let’s walk it together.
