What if the life you were raised to want turns out to be the one that erases you? In this deeply personal episode of Beyond the Barley, we unravel the story of a girl molded to be the “ideal woman”, faithful, pure, submissive, and how she found herself lost in someone else’s script. From Bible college to an abusive marriage, from purity culture to shattered dreams, this is a raw exploration of identity, silence, and the quiet rebellion of finally choosing yourself. If you’ve ever wondered why doing “everything right” still left you empty, this episode is for you. It’s time to rewrite the story we were never meant to live.
