Ep 34: The Power of Confession: Unlocking Resilience Through Radical Honesty with Holly Mutlu
Host: Melie Williams
Guest: Holly Mutlu
What if confession wasn’t about guilt, shame, or punishment, but about freedom?
In this episode of Diamonds in Dumpster Fires, Melie sits down with author, pastor, and rapper Holly Mutlu to explore confession as a radical act of resilience. They unpack why naming your pain out loud is often the first step toward healing, how to create safe spaces for others to be honest, and why vulnerability is one of the strongest tools you can carry through life’s hardest seasons.
You’ll hear:
How confession dismantles shame and opens the door to healing
The difference between healthy ownership and toxic shame
Practical ways to start confessing—whether to God, yourself, or someone safe
Why vulnerability isn’t weakness but a pathway to freedom
A beautiful reminder that God meets us in truth, not perfection
Whether you’re in a season of deep struggle or simply ready to walk a little lighter, this conversation will encourage you to stop hiding, start healing, and rediscover the joy of living unburdened.
