Why Your Empathy is a Superpower (and a TARGET!) - High Functioning Women Series Part Two

Why Your Empathy is a Superpower (and a TARGET!) – High Functioning Women Series Part Two [Episode 375]

This is Part Two of my series on high-functioning Christian women in destructive marriages. In Part One, we explored how the very qualities that make these women extraordinary are the same ones that make them exceptionally vulnerable. Today we’re going deeper into one of the most specific and targeted of those qualities: empathy.

If you’ve ever felt like your compassion is working against you, like the more you understand him, the more stuck you become, this episode will show you exactly what’s happening underneath that cycle. And it will start to give you a way out.

From Deconstructing to Reconstructing: Finding Wonder Again [Episode 373]

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.

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.

How My Word for 2026 is Playing Out So Far (personal message) [Episode 370]

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.
