In this episode, we reflect on what it means to engage ethically with stories of High Control Catholicism and religious trauma. As we’ve moved through this series, we’ve seen how easily personal testimony can be flattened into content for clicks, and how platforms often privilege certain voices over others. We share how we approach storytelling differently—by centering lived experience, collaborating with experts, and ensuring that survivors remain in control of their own narratives.

Ethical storytelling matters because the way we share stories shapes the future of advocacy. By being intentional about who we platform, creating accessible content, and naming the limits of our own expertise, we hope to build a model of storytelling rooted in dignity, reciprocity, and care. This episode is not a rulebook, but an invitation for others to reflect on how we can all engage our communities more responsibly.
