Recovering Church Girls * - podcast cover

Recovering Church Girls *

Join Tonia Adleta as she peels back the layers of impact that organized religion has on the way we see the world. The conversations within Recovering Church Girls* set out to undo the mindf*ck that caused you to internalize the judgments, criticisms, and hatred (often directed our own selves,) that so often comes as a result of growing up in a religious environment. (And spoiler alert: even if you didn't grow up in religion yourself, you've probably been impacted by Main Street, USA.) Find yourself in others' stories and learn how to replace the negative inner critic with love and appreciation for your most authentic self and a healthy respect for each person's spiritual journey. Come home - to yourself, your spirituality, and a supportive community that doesn't require you to check your individuality at the door, where you can finally feel like you belong.
