#048: Heart Work is Hard Work
After a short pause, My Brutiful Life is back—and in this deeply personal episode, Medda and I catch up on what’s been unfolding in our lives during the break. Spoiler alert: it’s been raw, stretching, and sacred.

I open up about the hard work of heart work—the kind that doesn’t show on the outside but demands everything on the inside. Healing from spiritual abuse isn’t a linear journey. It’s layered. It’s lonely at times. And it often calls us to face parts of ourselves we didn’t even know were still hurting.

Together, we talk about what it looks like to keep walking with the Lord when the systems that once claimed to represent Him have caused harm. We share the messy middle of deconstructing religion while holding tightly to a very real and faithful Father.

If you’re in the middle of your own unraveling, or trying to make sense of the wounds you carry from spiritual spaces, this conversation is for you. You’re not alone—and you’re not crazy for questioning what once felt untouchable.

We see you. We’re with you. And we’re doing the hard work, too.
