About this podcast
This podcast is a place to collectively share our stories and experiences of leaving high control religion, along with what it’s been like for us to find new practices that help us feel good and confident in ourselves. The title is a greeting and an invitation to join the conversation, especially to those of you who thought you were alone on this journey. Welcome to this big, wonderful community! You are good, you are loved, you are worthy.
All my love,
