This week we begin a series about our #exvangelical journeys. Joined by Mollie Murphy Tindle to discuss what it was like growing up in a "decentralized cult", how we deconstructed the conditioning, and where we are in the process of learning to love the perfectly imperfect humans that we are and find true happiness. #EndPurityCulture #EmptyThePews #NoShameMovement #Hopoksia

Last episode, Summer promised to answer the audience question "what was it like to date a disciple of Kevin Samuels?"; so today she's going to do just that. The take away from her experience: you can't opt into patriarchy (or relationships with patriarchal men) & still hope to somehow be exempt from the harmful, negative effects, so don't ignore red flags. Choose healthy dynamics instead of spinning your wheels in the sand, because you'll only hurt yourself.

Today, we answer questions from the audience. What else would you like to know? Leave a comment.

Let's talk about love & marriage...which are two entirely separate concepts that should not be confused or used interchangeably. Come discuss the conflation of these ideas and our belief that we should prioritize healthy relationships above legal contracts.

A listener recommended that we read Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. We learned a lot & are here to share some thoughts and insights with you.

We mention family roles, so here's a fun video from a YouTuber that we like, who is also a therapist, about the family dynamics depicted in Encanto: https://youtu.be/pTYonSTcIc8

Part two of the conversation we had last episode about Black History Month and the importance of education. If you missed the last episode, make sure you listen to it, as well, and join us for this vital conversation.

This Honest History, Leo discusses the contributions of children to the Civil Rights Movement, the background of Black History Month, finding joy and empowerment in the entirety of Black history, and much more. Join us for the first half of our discussion about Black History Month.

Join us for a little fun, today, with a behind the scenes look at the bloopers that didn't make the previous uploads. Laugh with us...& maybe at us, a bit...

This Human Trafficking Awareness Month, Frances Danger joins us for a discussion about MMIW, the child welfare system, and ongoing genocide.

This is a really tough topic, but it's so very important that everyone have an understanding.

We continually encourage people to set & maintain boundaries, so we're back for a moment of self-accountability about whether we were able to maintain our boundaries during family gatherings, as well as discussing self-care.
