When you refuse to betray your soul to appease others, they may call you rebellious, selfish, even wicked. But the truth is, you are not wicked—you are waking up. Choosing truth over appearances will cost you, but it will also set you free to finally fly.
In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with someone who’s not here to play nice with toxic church culture—Dr. Andrew Bauman. He’s a licensed mental health counselor, a truth-teller, and the author of Safe Church: How to Guard Against Sexism and Abuse in Christian Communities.
If you’ve ever sat in a church pew feeling invisible… silenced… or like it was your job to hold everything together, this conversation was made for you.
Dr. Bauman gets it. He grew up as a pastor’s kid tangled in trauma, became a pastor himself while battling hidden struggles, and eventually found his way to becoming an outspoken advocate for women in faith spaces.
Healing isn’t a destination—it’s a daily act of coming home to yourself. In this article, we explore key insights from How to Do the Work by Dr. Nicole LePera, covering topics like thought awareness, ego vs. true self, trauma patterns, and the power of setting sacred boundaries.
Is your husband’s addiction tearing your marriage—and your heart—apart?
In today’s powerful episode, I unpack the often-overlooked reality of addiction-fueled abuse. We’ll talk about how addictions—from porn and gambling to drugs and spending—impact the brain, hijack relationships, and leave women spiritually and emotionally devastated.
If you’ve ever tried harder, prayed longer, or changed yourself to fix what’s broken in your marriage, this episode is a healing balm and a wake-up call. I want to remind us that addiction is the problem—not you—and offer biblical, practical wisdom for reclaiming your power, peace, and dignity.
Learn about a tool that can help you when false hope crumbles and demoralization sets in. It’s not about fixing your circumstances—it’s about remembering you are already worthy of love and capable of moving forward, no matter what.
Ever been told you’re too sensitive? That you just need to forgive more? Or that if you were a better Christian wife, everything would magically get better?
Yeah. Me too. And Dr. Ramani Durvasula’s book It’s Not You is here to throw a holy wrench into that narrative.
In this week’s episode of the Flying Free Podcast, I’m unpacking the powerful truths in this book and showing you exactly how it validates the lived reality of women in emotionally and spiritually abusive relationships.
Get the first chapter of my book, Is It Me? Making Sense of Your Confusing Marriage, recommended by therapists. That chapter will help you figure out what’s going on in your marriage.
