Natia returns to talk religious trauma

Natia returns to talk with us about her experience in the church as a young teen, as a great way to follow Kayla's story. She also tells us about how her parents raised her pertaining to religion, and how this impacts her decisions and we discuss how we think children should be directed in reference to religion and religious teaching.

In this third and final part of Kayla's story, she wraps up her past traumas as she brings us to her current outlook and focus on life. She gives us some much needed advice on overcoming your fears of how the world perceives you and how to love yourself through your struggles.

Kayla’s Story (pt2)

In part two of "Kayla's Story", we talk about Kayla's experience within the church, the life lessons she has learned about being her authentic self (and what it took to get her there with regards to personal growth and journey). We also read and answer some listener responses. This episode is a long one guys, but I promise you it is worth it!
