  • Jeremy de Tolly - Liberate Your Voice

    Jeremy de Tolly - Liberate Your Voice

    My guest today is rock and roll musician, and heart-centered communication coach, Jeremy de Tolly. Jeremy works with those who have deeply shut-down voices, whose voices often became blocked starting in their childhoods. He understands the significance that parenting, school, and culture can have on our voices, and that, to return a voice to health, we need to address the expression aspects of these issues specifically. 

     This led Jeremy to develop the Radiant Voices material and methodologies that he teaches now, both as a private vocal transformation coach and in his signature course, Awaken Your Radiant Voice. The focus of Jeremy’s work is to empower clients to go from not trusting their voice to feeling safe and confident about expressing their magic in the world.

    Lauren Elise Rogers - Sex Ed for You!

    DIVORCED: Fundamentalist Christianity

    CW: Frank discussions of s3x

    Lauren Elise Rogers is a Certified Holistic Sexuality Educator and Embodied Intimacy & Relationship Coach. She is the founder of Sex Ed for You, where she provides clear, compassionate, and comprehensive guidance on intimacy, relationships, and sexual health. 

    After being raised in a high-control religion and getting married at 21, Lauren fought her way out to become the person she needed most. Her desire to understand her relational missteps – like her decade-long marriage to her daughter's gay father – led her to become a Certified Holistic Sexuality Educator. 

    In this episode, Lauren shares her journey and how she uses what she’s learned to help others navigate complex topics like long-term partnerships, consensual non-monogamy, life transitions, purity culture, and LGBTQIA+ issues.

    Dr. Josie McSkimming - Gutsy Girls

    DIVORCED: Christianity

    Today’s guest is Dr. Josie McSkimming, who joins us from Australia. She has previously been a guest on the Divorcing Religion Podcast and was also a speaker at CORT2023. 

    Dr. McSkimming is a clinical social worker with more than 35 years experience – and personal experience with religious trauma. When I learned that she’d published a book about her life, I wanted to read it right away. Her book is called GUTSY GIRLS: Love, Poetry, and Sisterhood.

    Josie grew up in the shadow of her oldest sister Dorothy, who was one of Australia’s most charismatic and courageous literary figures. Josie watched Dot become an award-winning iconic poet, but theirs was a family of complex dynamics. 

    In today’s episode we discuss life with a volatile parent, sibling rivalry, codependence, seeking escape from family problems, and the grief and loss that accompany religious trauma.

  • Hip-Hop Artist, Seven J - Betrayed by Christianity

    Hip-Hop Artist Seven J - Betrayed by Christianity

    DIVORCED: Christianity

    TW: Discussion of suicidal ideation

    Raised in the heart of Jacksonville, FL, amidst the grit and hustle of the city's most notorious zip code, Seven J emerged as a powerhouse in the world of hip-hop. His music is a testament to his roots, blending raw, lyrical prowess with harmonious melodies that captivate listeners and transport them to another world. 

    With a resume that boasts performances in iconic venues from Los Angeles to New York, Seven J has left his mark on stages worldwide. From the legendary Apollo Theater to the vibrant streets of Jamaica, his electrifying presence has enraptured audiences and earned him acclaim at every turn. 

    Seven was a deeply trusting child, making him vulnerable to the promises of Christianity. His musical talent and compassion for others set him apart as a believer– but the racism he experienced INSIDE the Church as an employee was the spark needed to truly examine the faith he’d devoted his entire life to.

    While Divorcing Christianity has been disorienting for Seven, making music has been a powerful part of his recovery. He holds nothing back on his album, Sunday Mourning, with songs like If Your God is So Good, BulletZ, and I Lost Everything. His latest album “I Am Seven J” has songs like The Truman Show, Never Been There, and 5 Percent.  If, like Seven, you’ve lost your once-cherished faith, he has words of truth you will relate to.

    FIND SEVEN J on all streaming platforms.

    Beth Granger - Leaving the Cult Was Only Half the Battle

    DIVORCED: Anglican Cult

    Warning: This episode may be triggering for those who experienced abuse in childhood and adolescence.

    Beth Granger was the first staff-child born at Grenville Christian College, an elite private boarding school in Canada that was actually a cult - from which she did not escape until her 30s.

    Despite her cult leaders’ predictions that she would end up on the streets if she left, Beth went on to earn her Bachelor of Education at Queen’s University, become a very successful teacher, marry a police officer, and become a mother of two. She also helped spearhead a 16-year landmark class action lawsuit against her abusers.

    Recovering from C-PTSD, benzo withdrawal, and a lifelong eating disorder from her decades in the cult, Beth is now dedicated to shedding light on the long-term impact of trauma inflicted by weaponized religion.  Born and Razed: Surviving the Cult was Only Half the Battle is her first book.

    In this episode, Beth shares her experiences as a cult survivor and some of the mistakes she hopes other survivors won’t make.
