So many capable, gifted Christian women are living a double life that is impressive in public, but diminished in private, and they don’t even have words for what’s happening to them. This episode will change that.
This is one of my favorite interviews! Today I’m talking with my friend, Dr. Tiffany Yecke Brooks, author of Gaslighted by God, Holy Ghosted, and her brand-new book, To Rebehold the Stars: Reimagining Faith After Deconstruction.
If you’ve walked through the painful process of deconstructing the toxic theology you inherited, this conversation is going to knock your socks off.
Drawing from Dante’s Inferno (I know, right?!), classical literature, and deep theological study, Tiffany shows you how to create a new spiritual lexicon that actually reflects the heart of God.
(Listen to find out what that even is!)
This isn’t about burning it all down. It’s about holding up each piece to the light and deciding: Does this stay or go?
This isn’t my typical podcast episode. Today I get personal, sharing why I’ve decided to pursue graduate studies in theology after experiencing profound spiritual abuse throughout my entire life. If you’ve read All the Scary Little Gods, you know my story, and you might be wondering why I’d ever step back into that world.
I invite you into my journey of healing, my commitment to simplicity in 2026, and the real reason I keep this podcast free.
How do you actually break free from emotional and spiritual abuse in your Christian home?
Most Christian women stay stuck because nobody tells them the truth: breaking free requires three specific stages.
In this episode, you’ll find out why you keep falling for the “honeymoon phase” trap, what you need to do first before anything else, and why writing everything down literally saves your sanity. This isn’t feel-good advice. This is the actual path thousands of women have walked to get out and stay out.
Emotional abuse in a Christian marriage doesn’t just damage your mental health. It corrodes your spiritual foundation until you can’t tell the difference between God’s voice and your abuser’s voice anymore.
What happens when you’re the only one trying in your marriage? When your partner seems indifferent, and you’re the one praying, planning, reading, learning, bending, sacrificing only to be met with silence or worse, resistance?
In this episode, Natalie peels back the layers of emotional and spiritual exhaustion that come from being the only emotionally invested person in a relationship.
Let’s answer a powerful listener question: “If I’m the only one caring, what’s the point of staying?”
