What does it take to break free from a religious cult or toxic relationships/enviornments? And more importantly- how do you HEAL after leaving? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Brooke Kekos, Trauma Healing Mentor, RTT Therapist, and author of Shattered, Broken, & Beautiful - Losing My Religion and Finding Faith, to discuss her journey of escaping religious control and reclaiming her personal power throughout her healing journey.

We dive into:
✨ The mental and emotional toll of leaving a cult or narcissistic relationship
✨ How religious/relationship gaslighting and manipulation keep people trapped
✨ Signs of religious and narcissistic abuse + how to heal from attachment & complex PTSD stemming from old stories
✨ What true healing looks like after breaking free

Brooke’s story is one of resilience, faith, and true transformation- this is an episode you don’t want to miss!

Spiritual awakenings ARE NOT just love and light- they're messy, uncomfortable, and can shake your entire world. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the raw, unfiltered truth of awakening and sharing 4 hard lessons I’ve learned on my own journey. We’ll talk about why awakening often comes through pain, why you might lose people along the way, how healing isn’t linear, and why your true self was never lost—just waiting for you to remember. If you’re in the thick of your awakening and feeling like it’s more chaos than clarity, or you need a reminder of why you became spiritual, this episode is for you.!💫
