What do the rapture, a 22-year-old who swears she’s running out of time, and my inconsistent podcast schedule have in common? More than you’d think.

In this episode of The Rebel In Me, I talk about the latest rapture buzz, a conversation that made me feel like I time-traveled back to my twenties, and the reminder that at 34, I still have time—and so do you. I also share honestly about struggling with health issues, feeling silly for not being consistent, and my rebellion against the pressure to always produce and perform.

This is your permission slip to slow down, breathe, and stop hustling like the world is ending tomorrow and remember you are a baby.

In this episode of The Rebel in Me, I’m diving into my experience with Christian prophecy, spiritual gifts, and the wild things people once declared over my life—like how I’d “call forth identity” and make lesbians straight (spoiler: I did not).

Now, years later and no longer in church, I’m drawing unexpected parallels between prophetic words and the woo-woo world of energy healing, intuition, and spiritual awakening. From nervous system releases that felt like Jesus to discovering new forms of connection through therapy, crystals, and “witchy” rituals—I might’ve left religion, but maybe I’m still a prophet?

Same calling. Different language.

What makes a woman leave a stable marriage when there’s nothing obviously wrong? In this episode, I’m joined by Bryn, who shares her raw, vulnerable story of choosing to walk away from a life that looked good on paper—but didn’t feel right in her soul.

We talk about the quiet buildup that led to her decision, the emotional unraveling that followed, and the powerful journey of reclaiming her life on her own terms. From rediscovering her identity outside of a relationship to embracing a nomadic lifestyle with her now-fiancé, Bryn opens up about who she had to become in order to feel truly alive—and deeply loved.

We also explore the idea of "life magic"—what happens when we stop controlling and start surrendering. Whether you’re in the middle of a personal awakening, questioning your relationship, or seeking courage to choose yourself, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind our wedding day—what irritated me as a bride, what I wrestled with emotionally, and how we let go of religious and traditional expectations to create a ceremony that actually felt like us.

From questioning what marriage really means when you’ve deconstructed your faith, to hot takes like why I don’t believe in “‘til death do us part,” I’m holding nothing back. Oh—and there’s a little secret I’ve been keeping about our marriage that you’ll finally get to hear. 👀

If you’ve ever felt torn between tradition and authenticity (or just want a candid behind-the-scenes look at wedding day highs and lows), this one’s for you.

How many times can someone be born again? In this episode, I explore the different moments in my life that felt like a personal rebirth—times when everything shifted, and I saw the world (and myself) in a new light. From being an on-fire Christian after Bible school to the disorienting reverse culture shock of returning from Palestine, to getting literally beaten with tree branches in Ecuador (happy birthday to me?), and now, at 34, learning what it means to be born again outside of faith—this episode is a journey through transformation, travel, and some truly wild birthday memories.

Tune in for a mix of storytelling, humor, and reflection on faith deconstruction.

I used to believe that marriage was a sacred, God-ordained covenant—a partnership built for glorifying Him. I prayed over my "future husband" journal, asking for a godly man who would lead our home in faith. But now? My views on love, commitment, and marriage have radically shifted. In this episode, I revisit those prayers, unpack why I was so afraid of relationships, and share how I now approach marriage without religious expectations.

Whether you're deconstructing, rethinking relationships, or simply curious, this episode dives into manifesting love, overcoming fear, and creating a partnership on your own terms—without the pressure of faith.

🎧 Tune in for an honest, vulnerable, and maybe even a little humorous take on what marriage means to me now.

From purity culture to posing nude—this episode is all about reclaiming my body and confidence. I share my experience doing a nude photoshoot, visiting a nudist resort, and what these bold steps taught me about body image, self-acceptance, and shedding shame. If you've ever struggled with body confidence, internalized modesty rules, or just wondered what it’s like to step into a new kind of freedom, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about confidence, body neutrality, and breaking free from purity culture conditioning—one naked moment at a time.

For years, I prioritized approval over authenticity—seeking validation from people and God instead of living in alignment with my own values. I share two moments when I blatantly lied over something small just to maintain an image, and I open up about the painful experience and staying silent after fact. I also dive into how constantly living for others took a serious toll on my mental, emotional, and physical health—leading to a panic attack that landed me in the ER. Now, I’m learning to choose authenticity over approval, build independence, and embrace the discomfort of living truthfully. If you’ve struggled with people-pleasing, religious conditioning, or breaking free from shame, this episode is for you.

Becoming You- Religion Recovery:

In this episode, I’m getting real about burnout—what it looks like, how to spot it, and why rest is essential. Running this podcast solo has been a wild ride, but it’s also taught me that honoring my energy is non-negotiable if I want to avoid crashing and burning.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to keep going, even when you’re running on empty, this is for you. I’m sharing why I’m taking a break for the rest of December, and how I’m letting go of the fear of falling behind. Taking a pause doesn’t mean failure; it’s part of the process.

I’ll be back in January, ready to dive back in with fresh energy and ideas. In the meantime, if you’ve been enjoying The Rebel in Me, I’d love it if you could rate and review the podcast. It helps more people find these conversations and keeps this little rebellion going strong.

Let’s talk about how rest can help us all come back stronger. Tune in!
