Reinvention Room with Allison Hare

Escaping Christian Fundamentalism and questioning everything with Holly Tidwell


Listen Later

What do you do when everything you were raised to believe starts to crack?

Holly, known as Hope with Holly on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, has built a following of over 500,000 by saying the things most people are too scared to admit. She talks about religious trauma, surviving loss, parenting a transgender child, dating in midlife, and what it means to find your voice when it feels like everything’s falling apart.

In this episode, Holly shares her raw, funny, heartbreaking story of leaving Christian fundamentalism. We talk about:

Growing up Pentecostal and what “church” really looked like

Marrying under prophetic pressure (yes, really)

Losing her daughter Monroe and the unraveling that followed

Being labeled a heretic for asking basic questions

Rebuilding identity after religious and social death

Parenting a transgender son in the Deep South

Becoming a truth-teller with a platform—and a whole lot of haters

Redefining spirituality, purpose, and freedom on her own terms

This conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt betrayed by their belief system or pressured to stay quiet to “belong.” Holly proves you’re allowed to change—and you’re still worthy of connection even if you no longer check the boxes.
