Spiritual Abuse and Permission to Heal

In this soul-baring episode, I share a deeply personal story of rupture—one that challenged not only my sense of belonging but my entire relationship with truth, power, and spiritual integrity.

This is the episode I never wanted to record. And yet, it's the truth that has finally set me free.

Together, we explore:

• What happens when a spiritual leader uses your past pain as a weapon
• How silence, neutrality, and avoidance protect illusion—and perpetuate harm
• The emotional cost of waiting for repair that never comes
• The difference between spiritual performance and embodied integrity
• The grief that follows the ruptures and how to move forward when you are denied closure and repair.
• And the hard-won truth: You are the closure you've been waiting for

If you’ve ever been gaslit in a spiritual space, silenced by someone you trusted, or left questioning your own worth—this episode is for you.

It’s not just a story—it’s a roadmap.

Through grief and healing to find sovereignty and self-worth.

This is your permission to stop waiting on someone or something else to heal and to remember:  You are strong enough to begin again.
