Speaking
I speak about religious trauma, faith deconstruction, and what it takes to rebuild your life after leaving fundamentalism. I also talk about audio storytelling, memoir craft, and the intersection of race and religion in American communities.
Topics
Leaving Fundamentalism What it's really like to walk away from a high-control religion — the harassment, the silence, the slow work of figuring out what you actually believe.
Religious Trauma & Recovery How spiritual abuse works, why it's so hard to name, and what healing looks like.
Audio Memoir & Storytelling Using voicemails, artifacts, and family archives to tell stories that matter. What I've learned producing 100+ podcast episodes with award-winning life writers.
Race, Religion & Whiteness How Scandinavian immigrants earned whiteness through religious conformity — and what that means for understanding American fundamentalism today.
Women's Bodies & Religious Control Reproductive coercion, purity culture, and reclaiming embodied knowledge after leaving.
