Heck yeah, “My Body is a Temple” | What women exvangelicals, exmormons, recovering catholics, and former jehovah’s witnesses need to recover from religious trauma and fully enjoy our bodies
Have you ever been told “your body is a temple” in a way that left you feeling ashamed, restricted, or disconnected from yourself? For many of us, this is part of our religious trauma. If you’re healing from high-control religion, rules about modesty, purity, and appearance can linger as anxiety, scrupulosity, and disconnection from your own desires. This episode reframes the metaphor so you can reclaim autonomy, rebuild trust with your body, and express yourself on your own terms. What you’l...

If you’ve quit a high control, high demand religion, or cult after suffering spiritual abuse and religious trauma, then YOU know, just like I know, how super frustrating it can be to realize that – although we’re physically free – that old psychological conditioning still echoes in our minds over and over, sometimes for years or even decades after leaving. This insidious training encouraged us to keep our true selves repressed, it told us we weren’t good enough, and stopped us from livi...

The Art of Taking Up Space
So many of us have been taught that to be a good girl or a polite woman, we have to be physically small and demure. and modest, and just really fold ourselves into the smallest space possible. We learn to shrink ourselves in both physical and more metaphorical ways. And the effect of having been conditioned to do that really holds back our true essence.

Season 1 Trailer: Break free from religious trauma after leaving high demand religions with spiritual abuse
So often when we think about feminism, we think about the process of trying to change the patriarchal social and political structures that are outside of us that are impacting our experience. However, we're overlooking completely the realm where we actually have the most power and the most authority to make changes: within ourselves. We can free ourselves from within. Are you the kind of woman who is committed to identifying and letting go of conditioning within yourself that limits wh...
