When You Feel Overlooked with Mary DeMuth

Have you ever felt overlooked?

In today’s episode, host Tina Yeager sits down with Mary DeMuth—literary agent, prolific author, and podcaster—to talk about the universal experience of feeling overlooked and misunderstood. Drawing from her latest book, The Most Overlooked Women of the Bible, Mary shares her own story of walking through pain and isolation, particularly within church communities, and offers honest insight on coping with being unseen and undervalued.

Together, Tina and Mary explore the emotional weight of being overlooked, the challenge of rebuilding trust after betrayal, and how to process those feelings through both faith and safe community. Mary reminds us of our inherent worth as individuals created in God’s image and encourages listeners to seek healing—not in isolation, but with trusted people who can walk through the journey with us.

Stay tuned for encouragement, practical steps toward healing, and a much-needed reminder that you are not alone. If you’ve ever struggled to feel seen, this episode is especially for you.

Highlights from this episode include:

• You’re Not Alone: Mary and Tina talk about how common it is to feel isolated or insignificant, especially when comparing our lives to the “highlight reels” of others on social media.

• Honest Community: Healing often starts by sharing openly with safe, trustworthy people. Mary offered practical advice on how to recognize supportive relationships and protect your own heart.

• Faith & Worth: The foundation of our worth doesn’t come from others, but from being created in God’s image. Mary reflected on the importance of lamenting our pain, processing it with God and community, and slowly rebuilding trust.

• Steps Toward Healing: Acknowledge your pain, talk to a safe person, and don’t shy away from grieving. Real, healthy community is a vital part of true healing.

Mary’s wisdom is a timely reminder—if you’re feeling overlooked right now, you aren’t “the only one.” There’s hope and community waiting for you, just as you are.
