Show Notes
You know how sometimes life gives you lemons and then instead of sugar for lemonade, the church hands you a moldy marriage book and says, “Submit harder”? That was my reality. In this episode, I take you back to a hotel room where I was nine months pregnant and seriously questioning if I wanted to keep living.
Instead, I stumbled my way out of despair and into freedom thanks to a stack of books, a laptop, and eventually, the real God (not the mean knock-off version I had been worshiping).
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- The two hotel rooms that changed everything: one where I nearly gave up, and one where I finally woke up.
- How books became my lifelines (thank you, Google rabbit holes).
- The moment I realized the “god” I was serving looked suspiciously like my abusive husband.
- Why leaving my marriage also meant leaving behind a toxic image of God.
- What it really means to be a butterfly (It’s not about fluttering around in a meadow. It’s about fierce, unapologetic freedom).
