Part Two continues the sacred conversation begun in Part One, turning toward voice, integrity, and life after spiritual harm has been named.
Listener note: This episode includes discussion of spiritual abuse and institutional betrayal. Content is non-graphic but may be activating. Please listen with care.
Host Patria Rector is again joined by Hannah May as they explore what comes after silence—after shame loosens its grip and self-trust begins to return. This episode centers the often costly work of reclaiming agency, setting boundaries, and choosing integrity when institutions cannot or will not change.
Together, they reflect on accountability without repair, the grief of leaving faith communities, and the slow disentangling of God from systems that caused harm. Rather than offering easy answers, this conversation invites discernment, honesty, and courage.
In this episode, we explore:
- Reclaiming voice and self-trust
- Accountability without apology
- The grief of leaving unsafe systems
- Faith after institutional betrayal
- Boundaries, discernment, and integrity
This episode continues the Echoes and Edges 2026 theme, Rise with Us: Voices that Heal, Stories that Lead, inviting listeners into a deeper conversation about healing, faith, and post-traumatic growth.
