Andrew is not only a Religious Survivor, he has thrived to become a Coach, Podcaster, Content Creator, and Activist.

Tune in as Andrew shares his daunting struggles with religious trauma from an early age, from verbal, mental and emotional abuse, to its major negative impact on his confidence and self-esteem; receiving empowerment and affirmation from NO ONE.

Tune in, as Andrew also explains the B.I.T.E. model (control of Behavior, Information, Thoughts, and Emotions) for determining whether or not you’re in a religious cult. He also shares the added pressure of the stigma brought on by these organizations, for his support of the LGBTQ+ community.
