    Ep. 30 | Sara’s Story (Part 2): The Beginning of the End

    ⚠️ Content Note Content Note: This episode includes discussion of family dynamics, emotional harm, and experiences within a high-control religious environment. Listener discretion is advised. This is Part 2 of my story. And it’s the most personal I’ve shared so far. Christy wasn’t able to join me for this one, so it’s just me — walking through the parts of my story that are harder to say out loud. The pieces that involve family. The dynamics that shaped how I saw myself. And the moments that made it clear something deeper wasn’t right. This isn’t about tearing anyone down. It’s about telling the truth of my experience in a way I couldn’t before. For a long time, I’ve been aware that there have been assumptions made about what I’ve said or haven’t said. So this is me speaking for myself, in my own words. If you’ve ever wrestled with how to hold your story when it involves people you love… you’re not alone.

    Ep. 28 | Just Catching up

    This week is a little different. No big topic. No deep dive. No structured conversation. Just two friends catching up after life… really life’d. We talk about what the past week has looked like — the unexpected, the exhausting, and everything in between — and let the conversation go wherever it wanted to go. Sometimes healing doesn’t look like processing. Sometimes it looks like showing up, laughing a little, and just being human together. If you need something low key this week, this episode is that.

    Ep. 27 | Purity Culture & Stolen Identity (Part 3): What We Were Taught About Desire

    ⚠️ Content Warning Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of purity culture, sexual shame and coercion, and harmful teachings about desire. Listener discretion is advised. In Part 3 of our Purity Culture & Stolen Identity series, we talk about desire. What were we actually taught about it? Who was “allowed” to have it? And was it ever really about holiness… or control? We get into: • Whether desire was framed differently for men vs women • The confusion and shame around attraction • How fear got tangled up with something completely human • And how those messages shaped the way we understood ourselves And yes… we share a story from a dorm meeting that turned into a full-blown purity culture talk that was as wild as it was revealing. Sometimes you have to laugh at what you were taught… just to see it clearly. This episode holds both — the humor and the weight of what those messages actually did to us.

    Ep. 25 | Purity Culture & Stolen Identity (Part 1): What Were We Actually Taught

    ⚠️ Content Warning Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of purity culture, predatory behavior within religious systems, and child sexual abuse. Listener discretion is advised, especially for survivors of abuse. This week we begin a new series exploring how purity culture shaped — and in many ways stole — our sexual identity. For those of us raised in high-control religious environments, sexuality wasn’t something we were allowed to understand or explore safely. Instead, we were handed a framework built on shame, fear, and rigid gender roles. In this episode, we ask four foundational questions: • What did purity culture promise us? • What did we learn about our bodies? • What were we taught about desire? • And what did it actually cost us? As the conversation unfolds, we also discuss the deeper systems at play — including how purity culture can create environments where predatory behavior is minimized and victims are silenced. This series isn’t about sensationalism. It’s about understanding the messages we absorbed and beginning the work of reclaiming identity, safety, and agency in our own bodies. If you grew up with purity culture, this conversation may feel uncomfortably familiar. Follow along as we continue unpacking how these systems shaped us — and what healing can look like on the other side. 🔗Josh Harris apology Follow us: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/imonthephonepodcastmoms?igsh=a2xreGk2NTJ4OXQz&utm_source=qr Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/share/1S1scPxDMp/?mibextid=wwXIfr ☕ Support the podcast: ko-fi.com/imonthephonepodcast #PurityCulture #ReligiousTraumaRecovery #PurityCultureRecovery #Exvangelical #DeconstructionJourney #ReligiousTrauma #HealingAfterReligion #SexualShameRecovery #FaithDeconstruction #WomenHealing #TraumaInformed #HealingOutLoud #PodcastConversations

    Ep.23 | If I’m Not the Agreeable One, Who Am I? Love & Survival Pt. 3

    ⚠️ Content Note (optional but wise) Discussion includes purity culture, religious trauma, sexual identity, and embodied healing as well as a story in a dentists chair that includes blood. Part 3 of our Love & Survival series takes us into identity. If I’m not the agreeable one… who am I? We talk about what surfaced when we stopped fawning. The emotions that felt almost impossible to access. The pushback that came when we changed. And we didn’t expect to go here, but we did. We talk about how purity culture stole rest. How it shaped our relationship to our bodies. How it distorted sexual identity and desire. I share a poem about the honest truth I struggle with around my body and voice. And another I wrote for my husband for Valentine’s Day. Because leaving together is rare. And rebuilding together is its own kind of courage. This episode is about grief. About anger. About tenderness. About discovering who you are when compliance is no longer your personality. If you’re in the process of untangling identity from survival, this one is for you. 📲 Follow us: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/imonthephonepodcastmoms?igsh=a2xreGk2NTJ4OXQz&utm_source=qr Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/share/1S1scPxDMp/?mibextid=wwXIfr ☕ Support the podcast: ko-fi.com/imonthephonepodcast #LoveAndSurvival #ReligiousTraumaRecovery #PurityCultureRecovery #FawnResponse #PeoplePleasingRecovery #DeconstructionJourney #Exvangelical #HealingOutLoud #ReclaimYourBody #SpiritualDeconstruction #MarriageAfterReligion #TraumaHealing #WomenReclaiming

    Ep.22 | When Love Meant Silence

    In this episode, we answer three deceptively simple questions: • What did “being loving” mean in your family or church? • What happened when you had needs? • What did conflict feel like in your body? And the answers take us somewhere deeper than doctrine. We talk about how love was defined as compliance. How having needs could feel dangerous. How conflict didn’t just feel uncomfortable… it felt threatening. This conversation isn’t about blaming the past. It’s about noticing how our nervous systems were shaped by what we were taught love required. Because when love is tied to silence, self-erasure, or emotional management… it takes time to untangle what real connection looks like. If you’ve ever confused peacekeeping with love, this one might hit close to home. 📲 Follow us: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/imonthephonepodcastmoms?igsh=a2xreGk2NTJ4OXQz&utm_source=qr Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/share/1S1scPxDMp/?mibextid=wwXIfr ☕ Support the podcast: ko-fi.com/imonthephonepodcast #ReligiousTraumaRecovery #FawnResponse #PeoplePleasingRecovery #HealingOutLoud #FaithDeconstruction #Exvangelical #NervousSystemHealing #EmotionalAbuseRecovery #TraumaInformed #SpiritualDeconstruction #WomenHealing #MentalHealthPodcast

    Ep.21 | Fawn Mode & the Relearning of Love (Part 1)

    We set out to answer one question: How do I love others if I’ve lived my whole life in fawn mode? And two questions in… we realized how much survival had been masquerading as love. When you grow up learning that being agreeable keeps you safe, that managing other people’s emotions keeps the peace, that self-erasure is kindness… it takes time to untangle what love actually is. In this episode we talk about: • The difference between love and survival • And what it feels like to relearn love without disappearing We didn’t get through everything. Because this isn’t a checklist. It’s a rewiring. If you’ve ever confused being needed with being loved… this one is for you. 📲 Follow us: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/imonthephonepodcastmoms?igsh=a2xreGk2NTJ4OXQz&utm_source=qr Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/share/1S1scPxDMp/?mibextid=wwXIfr ☕ Support the show: ko-fi.com/imonthephonepodcast #ReligiousTraumaRecovery #FawnResponse #PeoplePleasingRecovery #TraumaHealing #Boundaries #NervousSystemHealing #DeconstructionJourney #HealingOutLoud #EstrangedAdultChild #MentalHealthPodcast #WomenWhoHeal #RecoveryInProgress

    Ep.20 | The Mess Along the Way: The Core Questions That Shape Who We Become

    Episode 20 flips the script. This time, Christy interviews me using our core five questions. The ones we ask every guest. The ones that always open doors we didn’t expect. We talk about the mess along the way. The moments where things stopped making sense. The boundaries that didn’t come naturally but became necessary. This episode isn’t a highlight reel. It’s an honest conversation about what it costs to tell the truth and what it gives back when you finally do. If you’re in the middle of leaving, questioning, or redefining yourself, this one’s for you. ☕ Support the podcast: http://ko-fi.com/imonthephonepodcast 👉🏼 Socials: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/imonthephonepodcastmoms?igsh=a2xreGk2NTJ4OXQz&utm_source=qr TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@im.on.the.phone1?_t=ZP-8z9KSJM7QvW&_r=1 Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/share/1S1scPxDMp/?mibextid=wwXIfr #ReligiousTrauma #HealingOutLoud #DeconstructionJourney #TraumaRecovery #TellingOurStories #Exvangelical #ChurchHurt #BoundariesAreHealthy #EstrangementHealing #SurvivorVoices #PodcastLife #WomenPodcasting #MentalHealthPodcast #StorytellingPodcast
