The church taught us that if we waited until marriage, sex would be amazing. No shame. No regret. Just blessings. But what happens when your body doesn’t cooperate?

In this episode, I unpack the damage of purity culture’s biggest promise — that obedience guarantees great sex — and why that theology falls apart in real bodies, real marriages, and real lives. We talk about sexual shame, chronic pain, endometriosis, and why guilt and regret aren’t natural consequences of sex — they’re learned responses.

I read directly from Loveology and challenge the authority of male pastors who confidently preach about sex outcomes they’ve never lived, all while ignoring bodies, illness, disability, and lived experience.

This isn’t an anti-sex or anti-abstinence episode. It’s a call to stop weaponizing sex, stop moralizing bodies, and stop promising sexual rewards that can’t be guaranteed.

If you grew up in purity culture, feel confused about sex and faith, or were told your body would “work” if you just obeyed — this episode is for you.

What do the rapture, a 22-year-old who swears she’s running out of time, and my inconsistent podcast schedule have in common? More than you’d think.

In this episode of The Rebel In Me, I talk about the latest rapture buzz, a conversation that made me feel like I time-traveled back to my twenties, and the reminder that at 34, I still have time—and so do you. I also share honestly about struggling with health issues, feeling silly for not being consistent, and my rebellion against the pressure to always produce and perform.

In this episode of The Rebel in Me, I’m diving into my experience with Christian prophecy, spiritual gifts, and the wild things people once declared over my life—like how I’d “call forth identity” and make lesbians straight (spoiler: I did not).

Now, years later and no longer in church, I’m drawing unexpected parallels between prophetic words and the woo-woo world of energy healing, intuition, and spiritual awakening. From nervous system releases that felt like Jesus to discovering new forms of connection through therapy, crystals, and “witchy” rituals—I might’ve left religion, but maybe I’m still a prophet?

What makes a woman leave a stable marriage when there’s nothing obviously wrong? In this episode, I’m joined by Bryn, who shares her raw, vulnerable story of choosing to walk away from a life that looked good on paper—but didn’t feel right in her soul.

We talk about the quiet buildup that led to her decision, the emotional unraveling that followed, and the powerful journey of reclaiming her life on her own terms. From rediscovering her identity outside of a relationship to embracing a nomadic lifestyle with her now-fiancé, Bryn opens up about who she had to become in order to feel truly alive—and deeply loved.

We also explore the idea of "life magic"—what happens when we stop controlling and start surrendering. Whether you’re in the middle of a personal awakening, questioning your relationship, or seeking courage to choose yourself, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind our wedding day—what irritated me as a bride, what I wrestled with emotionally, and how we let go of religious and traditional expectations to create a ceremony that actually felt like us.

From questioning what marriage really means when you’ve deconstructed your faith, to hot takes like why I don’t believe in “‘til death do us part,” I’m holding nothing back. Oh—and there’s a little secret I’ve been keeping about our marriage that you’ll finally get to hear. 👀

If you’ve ever felt torn between tradition and authenticity (or just want a candid behind-the-scenes look at wedding day highs and lows), this one’s for you.

How many times can someone be born again? In this episode, I explore the different moments in my life that felt like a personal rebirth—times when everything shifted, and I saw the world (and myself) in a new light. From being an on-fire Christian after Bible school to the disorienting reverse culture shock of returning from Palestine, to getting literally beaten with tree branches in Ecuador (happy birthday to me?), and now, at 34, learning what it means to be born again outside of faith—this episode is a journey through transformation, travel, and some truly wild birthday memories.

I used to believe that marriage was a sacred, God-ordained covenant—a partnership built for glorifying Him. I prayed over my "future husband" journal, asking for a godly man who would lead our home in faith. But now? My views on love, commitment, and marriage have radically shifted. In this episode, I revisit those prayers, unpack why I was so afraid of relationships, and share how I now approach marriage without religious expectations.

Whether you're deconstructing, rethinking relationships, or simply curious, this episode dives into manifesting love, overcoming fear, and creating a partnership on your own terms—without the pressure of faith.
