Leaving a high control religion is more than just walking away—it’s unraveling years of subconscious programming, fear-based conditioning, and deep psychological ties that still shape your thoughts, emotions, and decisions. In this episode, I share Part 2 of my journey—the moment I finally left Jehovah’s Witnesses for good, the devastating loss of my marriage and identity, and the painful truth I uncovered about the organization’s hidden abuse scandals and doctrinal contradictions. But beyond the heartbreak came clarity—a chance to rewrite my story, heal from religious trauma, and help others do the same.
This episode isn’t just about deconstructing faith; it’s about the psychological impact of religious indoctrination, trauma bonding, and the fear that keeps so many trapped. Healing after leaving a cult-like religion means confronting cognitive dissonance, reprogramming your nervous system, and reclaiming the parts of yourself you were forced to suppress. If you’ve ever felt the weight of religious trauma, struggled with guilt for questioning your faith, or are seeking validation for your journey—you are not alone, and you are not broken. Tune in as we expose the illusions, break free from fear, and step into the freedom that was always meant to be ours. My memoir can be found on Amazon, March 25, 2025, and on my website in my bio.
