What if the safety you once found in your faith suddenly became the very thing you questioned most?
So many of us find solace in spirituality or religion—especially when life feels like it’s falling apart. But what happens when that sense of safety is ripped away by trauma, abuse, and feeling completely out of control?
In this raw and deeply personal episode, I’m sharing a vulnerable chapter of my story—where faith collided with fear, and the church I once loved became both my sanctuary and my silent witness. If you've ever struggled with the contradiction of holding on to hope while everything around you feels unsafe, this one's for you.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
How the church and youth group provided a brief reprieve from an unsafe home environment
The heartbreaking loss of autonomy and how it shaped my early relationship with control
The painful development of an eating disorder as a way to reclaim some sense of power
The pivotal moment that forced me to confront my own survival—and the choice I had to make
This episode is tender, real, and a powerful reminder that healing begins when we start telling the truth about what we’ve lived through. Keep listening—your story matters too.
