Hello, and welcome to another episode of Some Random Thoughts. I am your host Ryan Mulkowsky.

On this episode, I have with me my special guest:

Janice Selbie

Janice is a Registered Professional Counselor and religious recovery consultant. Janice was born and raised in a charismatic Christian home, attending Pentecostal, Vineyard, and other Evangelical churches before eventually marrying a man who would become a pastor. In her 30s she became ultraconservative, donning a head-covering, homeschooling their children, and rejecting any vestiges of secular life. It wasn’t until her 40s that she began experiencing doubts about her deeply held faith. As her marriage unraveled, her questions grew. She found herself wondering about the impact of religion on sexuality, gender roles and equality, social justice, and more. After ending her decades-long marriage, Janice went back to school to attain her Diploma of Applied Psychology and Counseling. She is the founder of Divorcing Religion & creator of the Divorcing Religion workshop, along with creating the annual Conference on Religious Trauma and the Shameless Sexuality conference.

Thank you for listening and enjoy.
