Episode 1: Our Story, Our Exit, Our Why

from Deserved Kindness · host Deserved Kindness

This episode includes discussion of child sexual abuse (CSA) in a non-graphic context. Listener discretion is advised.In our first episode, we introduce ourselves, share our backgrounds, and talk about how we ended up here.From growing up in a high-control religious environment to the slow, disorienting process of waking up and walking away, this episode is about context.We talk about who we were inside the system, what started to crack, what leaving actually looked like, and why Deserved Kindness exists in the first place.This isn't a perfectly polished origin story. It's honest, messy, sometimes funny, and very real.If you're questioning, freshly out, years removed, or just curious about how people rebuild after spiritual control, this episode is for you.Hosted by:Jay R.
