Leaving a religion that shaped your entire identity? That’s no small thing. In this powerful episode, Gentry talks with longtime friend Ashley about her deeply personal story of growing up in church, marrying young in ministry, and ultimately walking away from religion to reclaim her voice and identity. From purity rings to sound healing, from following the rules to trusting her intuition, Ashley shares the raw truth about what it means to deconstruct your faith and build a new life grounded in authenticity and love.
