    From Church Hurt to Healing: Deconstructing Faith After Domestic Violence

    In this powerful episode, Debra and Kristi Lyn continue their conversation about faith, trauma, and transformation. Kristi Lyn opens up about her first marriage—a relationship marked by domestic violence that began in the church community where she and Debora first met. She shares how her religious upbringing contributed to staying in an abusive situation, the moment she finally found the courage to leave, and the nine-year journey of rebuilding her life through property management work that eventually led to her real estate career. This conversation explores the complex intersection of religious indoctrination, domestic abuse, and the courage it takes to choose yourself. Kristi Lyn and Debora discuss how organized religion can sometimes enable harmful relationships, the guilt and shame that survivors carry, and the long process of unlearning toxic teachings. A raw, honest dialogue about faith deconstruction, survival, and finding your voice when everything you were taught told you to stay silent.
