I'm glad you're here.

I was born into Evangelical Christianity but became radicalized at 14.

I went ALL IN. Conferences, fasting, purity culture, evangelism, apologetics, miracles, signs, and wonders. Bethel, IHOP, Hillsong, YWAM...

I led worship for over 8 years and spent 4-6 days a week at various churches.

Then, at 18, I developed a chronic illness I would wrestle with for the next 9 years.

My deconstruction happened in the dark moments of realizing I might never be well again. That I didn't believe most of what I'd been taught. That when real life hit, Christianity failed me in the most foundational ways.

Over the years, I've seen just how traumatizing high-control churches can be.

But even after deconstructing mentally, I watched people around me (myself included) continue to live with internalized religious guilt.

And I realized the system continued to live on in the body.

We had no idea our bodies were the missing piece.

As I dove into nervous system work, my 9-year chronic illness evaporated in the space of a year. My mental health stabilized.

I became normal.

This is why I care so much about people's lives after deconstruction.

Because there's nothing I hate more than seeing someone survive a high-control church, escape, and then continue living a life they hate.

Religion took enough of our time.

Now's the time to start enjoying life.
