    • Spirituality

Growing up in a religious home with abuse, today's guest is no stranger to judgement and shame with money. She tells the story of her abusive grandfather finding religion and becoming a pastor, but still continued is strings of abuse and anger. This only confused Drenda even more about love, religion and what was next for her in the world. 

Drenda went on to write and publish her first book: Badass Babes Of The Bible. That retells ancient stories with a modern twist. This book was intended to be a supportive message of encouragement for women in the adult entertainment industry, but can be applied for all women.

Key Points: 

-Discuss perspectives on Mary Magdalene, highlighting her impact and the negative portrayal by the church, providing additional insights into Mary Magdalene's life and healing work.
