When I speak of silencing women, I am not referring to speech. No, in fact, the sound of their words is simply the expression of their voices, not their voice itself. What I’m speaking of is the silencing of their souls, their spirit, their divine expression. I’m referring to the things they came here to say and do and think. I am referencing the destruction of the potential of all things. This mighty, divine potential that arrived wrapped up in the shape of an infant. When we silence that, what is the cost? I truly believe the figure is so unfathomable that if we sat down to calculate all that never was, we would weep together as a planet in a way we never have before. The grieving would spread from shoreline to shoreline as every man, woman, and child mourned the lost contributions of women from every race and every continent, wondering what this world might’ve been? And if it was all laid bare, many would ask, why? Why didn’t these women stand up and fight? Why did they allow it? Some do, but for many of us, the problem starts at the beginning. The horrific silencing of our women starts when we are far too young to understand what’s happening. If you take a baby bird and remove its flight feathers, burn the endings so they can’t grow back, the bird will still look like a bird. It will sing and warble and cry out, but it will never fly. The tragedy is that it will never know the measure of its creation and will likely be unaware of its calling. It won’t go looking for flight because it won’t know what it’s missing. And in those rare instances where instinct takes over and it spread its wings, leaping to the air for reasons it doesn’t understand, only to come crashing down, the lesson will be reinforced. You are a flightless bird. The skies were never meant for you. To look upward is dangerous. To look down is safety. Live well, little bird, and we will feed you and clothe you and listen to your pretty song—not of captivity, but of the music we say is well deserving of praise. The notes of which are surely a greater gift from God than soaring through the clouds above.

Last week we had a fabulous session with Leatha Udayabhanu where we talked about intuition, power and stepping into our own authenticity. This week we are getting even more of her brilliance alongside what we lovingly dubbed her origin story. Leatha discusses her path from a first generation daughter of immigrant Indian parents, to finding God in Catholicism, converting to Mormonism and then moving out of all of it to find herself and her own spirtuality. Leatha Udayabhanu is the founder of Essentially Awake, a coach, public speaker and educator. If you enjoyed these episodes i encourage you to reach out and book a personal session, a group coaching call or a consultation for your next business retreat.…

Leatha is a coach, public speaker and educator and boy or boy does she educate today! We have two glorious hours of brilliance waiting for you as Leatha walks you through how to be gentle with yourself, how to access your own intuition and set down shame. This is a must listen!…
Another solo episode, I talk about a common problem I'm seeing and have experienced coming out of religion. The inability to make simple choices and insecurity around our own belief systems. We're going to talk briefly about how to get started figuring out what you actually want and who you've always been. So listen up, you beautiful souls! ~Devri…
Dominique Richardson converted to Evangelicalism at 25, looking to heal sexual abuse and trauma and studied under some of the culture shifters within this movement including Dorothy Patterson. At first Dominique thought she'd found her answer, throwing herself into this new world and it's pervasive purity culture and patriarchy but has since realized that it did more harm than good. She has now found her way out and is working to find her own connection to the divine while recognizing her inherent worth.…
Stephanie from the the_exvangelical_xennial talks about being raised in Evangelicalism and how she was brought up to be perfect. From her hair to her body to gender roles within the home, girls were to be God's trophy wife. Join as we talk about the reality of growing up with that mentality and the process of deconstructing it on the other side.…
Sonja Cox is back today and I am in love with our discussion! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (mormon) sent out new guidelines, teaching the youth of the church how they can know if something is true. It's filled with tactics of manipulation that we see in much of the religious literature across most sects. Sonja and I go through these guidelines one by one, talking about the inherent manipulation woven into each sentence, what it looks like, why it's there and the damage it causes.…
Well, it finally happened. Kate Ruefner, who was already on the podcast talking about her experience being sex trafficked as a child, asked if she could interview me. I agreed and we have a long talk about my way out of Mormonism, my thoughts on a great many things and hopefully something that can help a few of my listeners reset some mindsets and learn to have faith in themselves.…
Jo joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) when she was a teenager, attracted by the morals and values of the man she'd end up marrying. She tried to ignore the patriarchal structure within the church but as her kids got older she became fearful of whether or not the youth programs were safe for them. At which point she had a full stop moment, "If they aren't safe for my kids, are they safe for anyone's kids?" Jo's story is so incredibly relatable and I know many women will hear and see themselves in Jo's story.…
Marla Taviano is the author of Unbelieve and her newest release, Jaded. We talk all things post Evangelicalism and dive into her rich poetry around reclamation of self, LGBTQ, black lives matter and more. Most everyone who is struggling with their white christian belief systems will find something to hold onto in this wonderful episode.…
Kelli Stephens is here talking about growing up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and how her lack of connection to the "Mormon way" of getting answers made her forget an innate connection to God and intuition. This is such an important episode around our own sovereignty and the importance of honoring how we communicate with higher powers-- regardless if it fits into the religious "box".…
Kate Rufener has made the incredibly brave decision to finally tell her story, here. Kate was sex trafficked through several circles in Utah, one of which being the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Kate was the girl down the street, the helpful one, the accomplished one, living in a regular house with a regular family. She is the girl that you would never believe this was happening to. Which is exactly the problem. Kate says she never remembers a time where this wasn't happening, that her clientele simply changed as she aged up. This episode will be uncomfortable for many but I beg you to listen to her story. Kate is not alone, nor is she unique, there are countless people still caught in this system.…
Ellie is here to talk about being raised in an extremely patriarchal arm of Christianity. Women were only there to please their husbands and raise the children in a very literal sense. Homeschooling consisted of learning how to cook dinners for a varied number of people instead of math class while your parents attended conferences where they could purchase rods for discipline. Ellie was taught that women weren't smart enough to handle a checkbook and that they were always in need of a man for protection. After finally escaping an abusive marriage she realized she was queer...the very thing she'd been taught would send her straight to hell.…
Sonja L Cox is here with a heart wrenching, desperately needed conversation about the realities of how dark a faith crisis can get in high demand religions. We also have a beautiful conversation about the light she found to fill the darkness and her feelings about the responsibilities of these religious organizations.…
Jenni Pearson talks candidly about a slow stepping away from self until the day she realized she'd lost not only her courage but the belief that she could do hard things. We talk about her journey and how she started Brave Girl Diaries, documenting her journey back to self.
Welcome to Season Two. I have a change to announce, due to life circumstances season two will release on a bi-monthly schedule. In this episode I talk about how I finally realized that I've been running from myself for YEARS!
Keira is back! Today we're talking about how we're taught to supplant other's council--particularly that from our male leaders--in place of our own knowing. We also talk about the most recent abuse scandal within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Channel Achenbach is here with her heart wrenching story of converting to the mormon church as a black women and the years of racism that has followed. Her story is so painful and is such an blatant statement as to the reality of being black within mormonism, that her story was recently featured on Newsweek. Although she's been interviewed on several platforms I requested that she really take us into her heart for this interview. She has done just that.…
Kat Wilkins and her husband found themselves the targets of an abusive campaign because they spoke the truth. Kat's story speaks to a literal silencing of those who are campaigning for a healthier, better way.
Amber Argyle talks to us about how purity culture drives young people to marry fast and early, long before they can really get to know their partners, to avoid sin. We get into the painful fall-out of this practice and how women are treated within a culture like this when the marriage starts to fail. "Did you give him enough sex?" "Don't worry sister, your marriage will be better in heaven." "What can YOU do to make HIM happier so he won't abuse you?"…
A solo episode around the reality of redefining Christmas post religion. It took my by surprise how painful this was for me, the last few years followed the grief cycle to a "T". My hope is that my story, including what shall forever be known in my house as "The Great Rage of 2020", will offer someone a bit of comfort. We will also be taking two weeks off for the Holidays and episodes will restart January 9th. Happy Holidays to you all and a Happy New Year.…
Casey absolutely kills this episode. Not only is her story all things interesting but she does a phenomenal job breaking down patterns of control, coercion and abuse within christianity and evangelicalism. She also talks candidly about knowing she was gay but being taught that a good Christian marriage would fix her "problem".…
Ciera and I started where my podcast conversations usually do and ended up in the most beautiful discussion around the impact I unknowingly had on her life. I may have turned red at all the compliments but the power in her words are so important. My impact on her was during my darkest times which goes to show the power of being ourselves--even when we feel like we are failing at everything. This conversation is something everyone needs to hear.…
Kim reached out to the church for help, bringing her and her family into the fold to find hope. But what she eventually realized was that those helping hands were actually pulling her further and further away from herself, her soul and all the things that really mattered to her.
Asheley Clark is here talking to us about so many toxic ideologies including the killing of yourself so that God can dwell in you. I'd run across this teaching in some of my research and as a parent found it an odd and dangerous thought. I'm thrilled to have Asheley here, not only to explain what this teaching means but how destructive it becomes on the individual level.…
Ashlie talks about how conformity at a young age lead to the loss of herself and her light. When we silence our thoughts and desires, before we have time to learn who and what we are, it often leads to a complete divorcing from ourselves. This numb existence continues until we wake up one day and realize...we don't know who we are anymore. Which is exactly where Ashlie found herself.…
Jennifer Zechlin talks about growing up in a nuanced and "progressive" mormon household. We look at the othering she watched and experienced as a child and then again as an adult within in her own home. Jennifer is working on continued research and providing resources for those leaving the mormon faith at jenniferzechlin.com…
Katherine talks with us today about growing up in a sect of Christianity where men are considered gods and kings over their household and women are to know their place. Katherine's only purpose in life was to get married and have children. Now she works on helping to heal and support others who have been the victims of spiritual abuse. Check out Katherine's non profit, Tears of Eden, as well as her podcast, Uncertain Podcast, for more help dealing with spiritual abuse and trauma.…
Cat came flying in with a particular brand of silencing I hadn't even recognized- how women have been stripped of female friendships. To be honest I thought it was just a me problem. But Cat and I talk about how the perfectionist culture that comes with high demand religions pits women against each other, preventing us from speaking freely for fear of being judged. For those of us now experiencing rich female bonds we can finally see how blindly we've been robbed.…
Mary Helen grew up in a two religion household. When she got older she went in deeper, choosing a much more rigid religion for herself in a search for anything that would tell her how to fix how "wrong" and "bad" she felt inside.
Lindsay comes to us with a brave episode about her own sexual abuse and trauma as well as--with the permission of her husband--the fall out of his porn addiction in their marriage. This story is all too common and both her and her husband's vulnerability stands as a much needed breath of fresh air. *Trigger warning for detailed reports of abuse* Find Lindsay at healingrootandbranch.com…
