UNLOADED
This podcast is for anyone carrying the weight of life—mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. Hosted by Michael Sehorn and Shannon Morrow, UNLOADED is a space for honest conversations about the struggles we often face in silence. We talk about trauma, pressure, mental health, faith, relationships, and the truth we’re afraid to speak. If this podcast helps just one person feel less alone, then it has done its job.
