Welcome to Healed-ish! A podcast about the messy, beautiful, and sometimes insane process of healing. Each week, host Jubilee Dawn (@jubileedawns) sits down with survivors of betrayal, religious trauma, catfishing, toxic relationships, and more to unpack the chaos and growth that comes with starting over. These are the stories people don’t always tell — honest, raw, a little funny, and fully human.

    66. Racism, Grief, and My Experience at Bethel: Part 2 (Krys' Story)

    Part 2 of 2 Krys shares her experience attending Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, where she and her brother were deeply involved in the community and on the worship team. What began as a calling eventually became something much more complicated. In this episode, she opens up about the moments that didn’t sit right, including being discouraged from speaking about racism and social issues, and navigating situations that were often downplayed or dismissed. During her third year, everything shifted as her mom battled stage 4 breast cancer. As Kry chose to step away to be by her side, she was made to feel like she was doing something wrong. After her mom passed away, she was met with silence from leadership. This is a conversation about grief, identity, boundaries, and what it looks like to walk away and rebuild your beliefs in a way that feels true to you. - Krystal’s Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thequeen.krys Krystal’s podcast: https://tr.ee/HhQtrD3IE0 - Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/Healedish⁠ Follow for more:   Jubilee’s TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@jubileedawns⁠  Jubilee’s IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jubileedawns⁠  Healed-ish TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@healedishpodcast⁠  Healed-ish IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/healedishpodcast⁠  Apply To Share Your Story: ⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/23f8SPBX1VntsqUU8⁠

    64. Ex-Christian Nationalist: When 2016 Changed Everything (April Ajoy's Story)

    April Ajoy joins me to talk about growing up in Christian nationalism, where fear of the rapture, politics, and faith were deeply intertwined. She shares what it was like to be raised believing the end of the world was always around the corner, including a moment where she thought she had been left behind. We talk about her experience singing on conservative TV, making campaign videos, and the turning point that led her to start questioning everything. April now uses humor and satire to process it all, and we get into what deconstruction looked like for her and how she rebuilt her faith on her own terms. - April Ajoy’s Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@aprilajoy?lang=en April Ajoy’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/aprilajoy/ - Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/Healedish⁠ Follow for more:   Jubilee’s TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@jubileedawns⁠  Jubilee’s IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jubileedawns⁠  Healed-ish TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@healedishpodcast⁠  Healed-ish IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/healedishpodcast⁠  Apply To Share Your Story: ⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/23f8SPBX1VntsqUU8⁠

    Purity Culture Dilemma: AITAH for Saying My Wife’s Virginity Didn’t Matter?

    Bethany Joy (a past Healed-ish guest) joins me to react to some wild and messy Reddit stories. We get into purity culture and a husband who said his wife’s virginity didn’t matter, a destination wedding dilemma, and what to do when someone calls themselves your husband’s “work wife.” We also talk about whether it’s ever okay to tell your sister she brought her situation on herself after a series of bad choices. Lots of opinions, lots of chaos, and definitely some moments where you’re going to pick a side. - The Overshare Hour: https://open.spotify.com/show/4rhjrn5AYvOKJnN0gIeSLm - Bethany’s Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bethany_joyful Bethany’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/bethany_joy_ful  Jubilee’s TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@jubileedawns⁠  Jubilee’s IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jubileedawns⁠

    63. No Holidays, No Sex, No Questions: Inside Jehovah’s Witness Life (Micki’s Story)

    Micki grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness after her mom joined when she was a child. From going door to door and studying The Watchtower, to missing out on birthdays, holidays, and normal milestones, her life was shaped by strict rules, purity culture, and fear of the outside world. At 35, everything started to unravel. After falling down a Reddit rabbit hole, Micki began questioning what she had always been taught and ultimately made the life altering decision to leave. What followed was devastating. She was shunned by her entire community and lost nearly everyone she knew. Now known as Apostate Barbie, Micki shares her story online. She documents her deconstruction, reclaims her identity, and explores her sexuality for the first time. - Micki’s Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@apostatebarbie Micki’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/apostatebarbie/ - Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/Healedish⁠ Follow for more:   Jubilee’s TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@jubileedawns⁠  Jubilee’s IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jubileedawns⁠  Healed-ish TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@healedishpodcast⁠  Healed-ish IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/healedishpodcast⁠  Apply To Share Your Story: ⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/23f8SPBX1VntsqUU8⁠

    62. The Cost of Being Devout (David Archuleta’s Story)

    David Archuleta joins me to talk about his new memoir and everything that shaped the person he is today. We get into what it was like growing up in the LDS church, the pressure he faced from his dad at a young age, and how that carried into his experience on American Idol. David shares how much of his life felt like it was being lived for other people, and what it took to start questioning that. We also talk about his journey with identity, coming to terms with being queer, and what it looked like to finally choose himself after years of trying to fit into a version of life that never fully felt like his. - David’s Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@davidarchie David’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/davidarchie/?hl=en David’s Website: https://davidarchuleta.com/ - Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/Healedish⁠ Follow for more:   Jubilee’s TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@jubileedawns⁠  Jubilee’s IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jubileedawns⁠  Healed-ish TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@healedishpodcast⁠  Healed-ish IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/healedishpodcast⁠  Apply To Share Your Story: ⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/23f8SPBX1VntsqUU8⁠

    61. IBLP and The Umbrella of Authority: Part 2 (Bethany’s Story)

    Content warning: This episode includes discussion of domestic violence and sexual abuse. Bethany was raised in IBLP, the same belief system associated with the Duggars, where teachings like the “umbrella of authority” shaped her understanding of marriage and submission. As one of eleven children, she was expected to help raise her siblings and follow strict gender roles. When she met her ex-husband, their relationship quickly moved toward marriage under intense pressure from purity culture and family expectations. What followed was an abusive marriage marked by control, gaslighting, and betrayal. With the help of a therapist, Bethany began to recognize the reality of what she had experienced, including abuse that had been normalized in her upbringing. Today, she is no contact with her dad, many of her siblings have deconstructed, and she has built a safe and healthy life with her partner. - Bethany’s Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bethany_joyful Bethany’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/bethany_joy_ful Bethany’s Poetry: https://www.instagram.com/this.is.not.a.train - Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/Healedish⁠ Follow for more:   Jubilee’s TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@jubileedawns⁠  Jubilee’s IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jubileedawns⁠  Healed-ish TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@healedishpodcast⁠  Healed-ish IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/healedishpodcast⁠  Apply To Share Your Story: ⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/23f8SPBX1VntsqUU8⁠
