Unpacking Me
Unpacking Me: Unpacking the parts of Trauma no one talks about!
A raw and honest podcast where we dive deep into the experiences that shaped us—the pain, the healing, and everything in between.
Hosted by Nicky and Mernelle, we explore the unspoken struggles of trauma, mental health, and self-discovery, creating a space for real conversations that many shy away from.
We’re here to unpack the baggage we’ve carried, challenge the narratives we’ve been told, and break cycles that no longer serve us. Whether you’re on your own healing journey, seeking connection, or just need a space where vulnerability is welcomed—you belong here.
Join us as we share our personal stories, unpack the past, and navigate the messy yet beautiful process of growth. Let’s do the work, together.

Unpacking Me: Why Pray It Away isn't Enough
Unpacking Me: Why Pray It Away isn't Enough- Faith and Mental Health
Have you ever felt the pressure to simply "pray away" your emotional struggles? This episode of Unpacking Me tackles the often-unspoken stigma that faith alone can cure mental health challenges. We explore the complexities of emotional wounds, discuss why this perspective can be invalidating (it's not always depression!), and champion the integration of faith and mental health support for true well-being. We also highlight valuable resources:
- It's Not Always Depression: Working the Change Triangle to Listen to the Body, Discover Core Emotions, and Connect to Your Authentic Self
- Boundaries Updated and Expanded Edition: When to Say Yes, How to Say No To Take Control of Your Life
- The supportive community offered by Therapy for Black Girls.
- The wealth of information available at Psychology Today.
