Join Tonia Adleta as she peels back the layers of impact that organized religion has on the way we see the world. The conversations within Recovering Church Girls* set out to undo the mindf*ck that caused you to internalize the judgments, criticisms, and hatred (often directed our own selves,) that so often comes as a result of growing up in a religious environment. (And spoiler alert: even if you didn't grow up in religion yourself, you've probably been impacted by Main Street, USA.) Find yourself in others' stories and learn how to replace the negative inner critic with love and appreciation for your most authentic self and a healthy respect for each person's spiritual journey. Come home - to yourself, your spirituality, and a supportive community that doesn't require you to check your individuality at the door, where you can finally feel like you belong.

A New Kind of Church

Deep, smart, and healing. Tonia creates the space to question what we’ve been taught and find a greater understanding of spirit for ourselves. For those looking to connect with God in a way that feels true for you—this is your podcast.

Awesome

This is the podcast I didn’t know I was looking for! I stopped seriously practicing Catholicism years ago but recently realized that much of the mental conditioning from childhood is still affecting me in business and personal relationships.

Not just for girls

Tonia's podcast is not only for "Recovering Church Girls," but also for anyone who strugles with faith, identity, and becoming their true self. There are no pat answers here, but deep questions to wrestle with (with lots of laughter and fun along the way).
