In this episode of the Shadow Mike Podcast, I share my own journey of loosening the grip of evangelicalism — not just in my beliefs, but in my body. We talk about what happens when a faith framework shapes your nervous system, and why even after you’ve “left,” the old patterns still show up. I dig into how the unconscious mind holds on to limiting beliefs, why releasing them is so necessary, and how the four requisites of change found in MER (Mental and Emotional Release) work can help you install a whole new way of being. I also share how coaching can guide you through the messy, beautiful work of transformation — from purity-and-confession-driven living to a deeper trust in yourself.
