  • My Crooked Body

    I've thought of myself as the crooked girl with the crooked life since childhood. Here's the story behind the name of this podcast.

  • Holy Escapism

    It's a new realization that I might not die or be raptured today. I never thought I'd live past my childhood. Age 30 would never be reached, not even close.

  • Why Printed Prayers and Church Structure Make Us Feel Safer
    My friend Alisa joins for a conversation that touches on too many interesting topics to list! She tells of her journey from Baptist to Catholic, the messy aspects of cultural church life in contrast to Jesus' original teachings, the ways liturgy can bring more freedom rather than less, and much more.

    Alisa is my oldest friend, a writer, wife and mother, a deeply thoughtful and intelligent woman.

  • Yes, I'm a Victim and I'm Shattered (updated & fixed)

    * This episode somehow hit a glitch with the uploaded audio leaving a segment out. If something seemed off, here's the fixed original version! And if you never heard the one with a missing mid-sentence glitch, enjoy!


    Our society acts like grief is a short term event and that trauma or adversity makes us stronger. I disagree. Some griefs shatter us in ways we can't fix and trauma makes us broken and exhausted!

  • On the Way To Our Firehouse Marriage

    Here's the story of what happened when my ex stopped the car on the way to our marriage. Not our wedding, just the marriage ceremony at a firehouse. I look at the scene as I viewed it then, and look again with new eyes today.

I spent my first 40 years in the cultish Evangelical world, picking up many layers of cPTSD from family, religion and marriage. I’m rebuilding a new life as a single mom of five kids who has stopped…
