Customer Reviews
A Podcast for Everyone
Maggie has created a safe space where all are welcome to share their experiences with high demand religion and the various deconstruction processes. It has been healing and refreshing to have a podcast that discusses experiences from a variety of high demand religions. Seeing others outside of my religious upbringing have similar experiences has been so eye opening. There is truly community and validation through this podcast.
