  Why seeking community after deconstruction doesn't mean you're missing the dogma. When you break up with a toxic partner, nobody blames you for missing the incredible cuddly cat. So why do we beat ourselves up when we miss certain aspects of our old ways? Today we're diving into the deconstruction paradox. That weird, guilty feeling that longing for a "tribe" means you're secretly regretting giving up a dogmatic road map. Lets see why we've left one community for another....spoiler alert....t...

  Honest doubts and Hard goodbyes : The Real Reason People Leave 08.07.2026 54min

  For decades, the dominant cultural narrative has been that people leave the church because they "want to sin". For those of us that are deconstructing, the truth is much more complex, painful and very intentional. Leaving is not the easy way out - its often a heartbreaking last resort. In this episode we unpack real, lived experiences behind the modern faith exodus. We move past the narrow minded assumptions and look at the genuine, moral and emotional turning points that cause people t...

  Still not hot - Even more lies we believed 21.05.2026 34min

  In part two of our finale on modesty culture, we’re moving from the wardrobe to the psyche. We joke about the ankle-length skirts and the rule against spaghetti straps, but what happens when you actually try to unpack the shame attached to them? This week, we’re tackling the heavier lies we were fed—like the idea that your worth is tied to your fabric coverage—while keeping it light enough to remind you that we all survived it. Tune in for the final breakdown of why "modest is hottest" ...

  Omni-awkward: The Trouble with Perfection 24.04.2026 44min

  In this episode, we're hanging out with our old pal Epicurus. He's the guy who realized a few thousand years ago that you can't really have an all-powerful, all-loving god AND a world where mosquitos can kill you, and pediatric cancer exists. It's the Epicurean Paradox, and it's the ultimate glitch in the matrix for traditional faith. I'd love to hear from you, please share what's on your mind! I would love to hear from you!

  Leaving the pew 16.03.2026 36min

  Why are we here? For many of us the cathedral didn't crumble overnight- it started with one question we weren't allowed to ask. In this debut episode, I'm exiting the sanctuary and departing from Catholicism. We're exploring the 'why' behind this podcast and discovering what deconstruction really looks like. This isn't about having the answers; its about finally being comfortable with being curious. Grab a coffee, tea (or something stronger) and lets be uncomfortable together. A...
