We've all heard the scripture "the heart is deceitfully wicked above all things." But has the church used that scripture to manipulate and control people into not being able to trust themselves? (and to trust their leadership instead) In this week's episode, Troielle talks about her experience growing up in religious Christianity and later attending a school of ministry where she was taught to bring everything to leadership rather than trusting that she could hear God for herself. She shares her journey of constantly feeling like she was going to "mess up" to eventually finding herself outside of church and how her experiences changed her worldview- and after that, everything changed for her. Listen in on this insightful and eye-opening conversation! 

This week, we decided not to do a regular episode as we are doing our best to practice social distancing. Instead, Ashley R has put together a guided meditation/affirmations to release fear and anxiety and to welcome peace and love. During these strange and uncertain times we are in, I hope you will take some time to check in with yourself- how are you doing mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually? This short meditation will walk you through releasing fear and negative energy from your body and inviting love, peace, and joy to rule your inner world. So find a comfy and quiet place and enjoy!

Has your religion told you that questioning God is wrong or disrespectful? In this episode, Ashley B talks about growing up in the church and being taught that God doesn't have to answer to us humans- so questioning him was out of the question. Listen in as she talks about her experience with religion- through many years serving in the church to living in Mexico as a missionary for over 4 years, to losing her father suddenly. This episode is full of emotion as she talks all about her journey and how she ultimately came to the realization that a relationship with a God who could not be questioned was not a relationship she wanted to be in. Listen in to find out where this journey led her and the freedom that she found through it all.

This week, the mindset we threw in the trash is that "all fear is bad."

Have you ever felt like you are expected to be "fearless?" What if there is a healthy amount of fear? A healthy amount of anger? Can the things that we view as dark and negative actually be the things that propel us into the life we so long for?

In this week's episode, Troielle, Ashley B, and Ashley R talk about some of their biggest fears and how those fears have helped to push them forward and have shaped the way they think and see life. We talked about...
-the fear of things always ending the way they always have
-the fear of one on one conversation with strangers
-the fear of not reaching our full potential
-how fear, anger, and depression were an invitation for the deconstruction of toxic beliefs and mindsets and how that led to healing and freedom on the other side of it.
