Hiding Your Gifts in a Cult - w/ Tonya Steinborn

Ep 18: Spiritual Wounds We Carry from Childhood w/ Tonya Steinborn

 

What happens when a sensitive child is told their inner world is dangerous? When spiritual gifts are demonized, emotions are policed, and even curiosity becomes a threat?

 

In this raw and deeply personal episode, Tonya Steinborn shares her story growing up in a strict fundamentalist Christian household—one where divine connection, psychic gifts, and feminine power were systematically denied. From prophetic dreams and “feelings” passed off as coincidence, to eventually becoming a healer and published children's book author, Tonya’s journey is one of reclamation. Her book Whispers From the Farm distills her story into a message for sensitive children who need to know they’re not broken—they’re gifted. This episode dives into the complexity of spiritual trauma, intuitive awakening, feminine empowerment, and what it means to come home to yourself after decades of self-denial.
