What does it take to break free from a religious cult or toxic relationships/enviornments? And more importantly- how do you HEAL after leaving? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Brooke Kekos, Trauma Healing Mentor, RTT Therapist, and author of Shattered, Broken, & Beautiful - Losing My Religion and Finding Faith, to discuss her journey of escaping religious control and reclaiming her personal power throughout her healing journey.

We dive into:
✨ The mental and emotional toll of leaving a cult or narcissistic relationship
✨ How religious/relationship gaslighting and manipulation keep people trapped
✨ Signs of religious and narcissistic abuse + how to heal from attachment & complex PTSD stemming from old stories
✨ What true healing looks like after breaking free

Brooke’s story is one of resilience, faith, and true transformation- this is an episode you don’t want to miss!
