Ex-Mormon Empowerment. The Secrets & Tips (w/ Stephanie Brinkerhoff)

Listen to this podcast, then listen to it again to digest all the wisdom of my guest, Stephanie Brinkerhoff, as we discuss the difficult road to empowerment as an Ex-Mormon. It's time we get to the heart of the process.From leaving a church that took away her autonomy and intuition, and how psychedelics helped her break free, my guest Stephanie discusses associations of safety with following the rules of the Mormon Church. She believed she would feel safe if she ticked off the boxes and followed the teachings. However, after leaving the church and deconstructing her beliefs, she realized that true safety is an internal state of being, a cultivated inner state. A safety that comes from within and involves connecting with oneself, cultivating inner peace, and trusting in one's own intuition. With real examples,I hope this episode is useful for everyone still trying to find their power as we answer questions from viewers!
