The Holy Unraveling, Where Faith and Psychology Meet the Messy Middle
Real faith. Real psychology. Real transformation.
The Holy Unraveling is the podcast where faith meets real life. Hosted by Silvia Farag, (MSW, LSW) therapist, wife, mother and Orthodox Christian. Each week, Silvia blends psychology, faith, and humor to talk about the things most of us carry silently. She shares practical tools and biblical truths to help you navigate struggles such as anxiety, chronic stress, perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional burnout, shame, control, boundaries, and what it actually means to let God into the parts of our lives we’d rather keep polished. Each season explores a different theme to help you reconnect with peace, rest, and surrender.
This isn’t about appearing put together, it’s about letting God meet you in the unraveling. With a raw, relatable, laugh-so-you-don’t-cry style, Silvia invites you to stop performing faith and start experiencing it.
This is where unraveling becomes holy. Where surrender becomes strength. Where God meets you in the messy middle.
