I Am Not Proud of What I Did When I Was Religious with @womanbeingpodcast - Ep. 82

Serafina Episode 82

Trigger warning: homophobia/transphobia, ableism, racism, the death of a young child & healing culture trauma, suicide, religious trauma, self harm (and scarring) and depression, and exorcisms/demonic expression


This week we have the lovely Kelley, Kelly Anne, & Emma (she/her) of @womanbeingpodcast on to talk about coping with the harm done while a part of fundamentalist evangelicalism. For many, including myself, it is a hard pill to swallow to come to terms with how you caused direct and indirect harm while in religion. It is easy to get defensive and can be really tricky to talk about. In this episode, we unpack the events that impacted us and were a catalyst to start deconstructing, how to take accountability, and how we've learned to sit in the nuance. 


Woman Being is a community of people who host conversations in order gain perspective and see the humanity in others. This project was birthed out of a close group of friends getting lost in conversation so enriching that we decided to extend the invitation in the form of a podcast. They hope that as they explore this big, messy world and dive into the gray that you’ll find some gold in the midst of it too. 


You can find Woman Being on social media @womanbeingpodcast , on all streaming platforms, and online here.
