August 11 Tim Rodrigues' Confession and Arrest, Jill Rodrigues Leaves Social Media
CW: This episode is about a domestic violence situation that includes discussion of multiple instances of physical and emotional abuse. Some of this discussion is graphic.
Our thoughts are with Heidi, her family, and the Rodrigues children as well as anybody who has suffered intimate partner violence or child abuse under fundamentalism.
Please do not mistake the tone of this video for us minimizing that in any way. What Timothy admitted to is a serious crime against his wife.
In today's episode, we discuss the confession Tim Rodrigues made in a Facebook post, in which he admitted to violently abusing his wife, , Heidi, accused his father, David, of child abuse during his upbringing, and asked for forgiveness as he seeks to regain the trust of his wife and his family.
This post received attention from friends and family members, most notably Heidi's family members who were understandably very angry at him for his abuse of their loved one, for his violation of her privacy in posting details publicly, and for his perceived motivations in publishing his confession, which they saw as highly manipulative.
Following this public fallout, Jill Rodrigues announced her departure from social media.
Sadie is a Certified Domestic Violence advocate in the State of Oregon. The book she recommends, "Becoming Allies," can be found here: https://www.alliesinchange.org/the-becoming-allies-book

July 28 Parasocial Relationships are Weird as Heck
In this episode, we discuss the dangers of parasocial relationships and how people in parasocial relationships can come under a pseudo-cultlike control in their desire to be seen or noticed by a person they feel a strong connection to. In this episode we discuss parasocial relationships with celebrities like Taylor Swift, political commentators like Rush Limbaugh, and other notable people like Donald Trump and Elon Musk (as well as Lauren Ash, Sadie's parasocial bestie)

July 22 Pope Leo Throws Down The Hammer!
EVERYONE who signs up to my giveaway wins a FREE spicy toy or gift card for toys! https://www.bboutique.co/vibe/leavingeden-pod

#bbpartner

In this episode, we discuss the ongoing schism in the Catholic Church, as Pope Leo excommunicates the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) following their decision to disobey him by consecrating new bishops. SSPX is a faction within Catholicism that considers the reforms of the 1960s (Vatican II) to be wrong and heretical. They seek to reverse the Catholic Church's more progressive recent direction.
