In this episode we explore what meditation is, the various ways it can look for different people and some tips to get started on meditating. This episode contains my personal views on the matter which may differ from other "experts" or gurus. I'm all about making mindfulness and meditation accessible and easy for anyone.

Time to lighten things up a little around here. This week I share one of my most embarrassing moments that occurred when I was a good little church girl.  Listen along and laugh with me as we go back in time to the late 80's.

What did dating and marriage look like in your old religion, or what does it look like for you now?
This episode looks at the expectations, bias and judgement that occurs around this hot topic, specifically in relation to the fact that my husband and I had a speedy (8 weeks) turn around between dating and engaged and we changed our wedding date to sooner *shock, horror!*
All told, from our first meeting to our wedding was less than a year. We caused a lot of controversy in our church, and not just around the speed of everything.  Have a listen to see what rebels we really were!

Time to reveal the big secret part of myself I've been holding back thus far in the podcast. I'm letting my freak flag fly and encourage you to do the same. Life is too short to pretend to be something we aren't.  We also chat about accepting others, even if we have different "freak flag" parts of ourselves. The world needs more love and connection. :-)

*Trigger Warning* Very generalized discussion of sexual assault
In this first episode of the new season, we delve a little deeper into who we are and doing what makes our hearts happy.  We'll discuss why I disappeared for a couple of months and what I learned during that time of self-reflection.  I share my learnings in the hopes that they will help you as well.

Trigger warning, we will be discussing suicidal thoughts/ideation in this episode. If you or someone you love is struggling, please visit http://suicide.org/ or call 1-800-273-8255.
This week we are doing something a little different, as this is such a sensitive topic. I will read from chapter 6 of my book "Good Little Church Girl Ascends" about the first time I considered suicide and what stopped me from going through with it.  I will add some thoughts which were not included in the book. You can purchase your own copy on in any Amazon store in paperback or e-book format.

This episode looks at the BITE method as discussed on this blog (Dare to Doubt), to determine if an organization is a cult.  We go through the detailed list of questions to ask yourself about an organization.  We will analyze them on the basis of the religion I left and others that we have awareness of. It is NOT intended as a diagnostic tool, but rather as a way to reflect and ponder that which is around us.  While there are many cult experts, one truly doesn't understand what it's like to leave an extreme religious group without having been part of one themselves. Let's start this conversation and see where it takes us.

It's often difficult to discover that friendships we felt were unconditional, came with rather huge conditions. This is the case for many of us when we leave the church and find out that we've lost many friends who we felt would be with us through thick and thin.  Join us in this episode as we ponder what friendship really means, and how it's okay to release old friendships and make room for new friends!

Anxiety in life can look like anything from a stressful situation to a full blown inability to function in daily life, particularly when we are faced with certain triggers. In this episode we discuss what anxiety looks like, how we can help ourselves when we feel anxiety coming on and the huge anxiety episode I had recently.  By sharing our stories, we learn that we are not alone and that we can come together for support and understanding.  As always, this episode ends with a brief healing meditation.

There has been a lot of talk lately about purity culture and the affects it has on our young people and even adults today. For me, not only did it deeply affect my relationship with God and my understanding of the church when I was assaulted, but it left me with profound guilt and a feeling of loss.  Join us in this episode where we discuss the soul-searching that occurs when "losing your virginity" is a choice which is taken away from you and how to find the positive, even in these dark times.
