From Amish to Aligned

from Unchained & Untamed · host Leona Schrock

In this deeply moving episode, I courageously unpack the identity-shattering journey of leaving a cult-like religious community and reclaiming her authentic self. From my Amish roots to stepping into empowered leadership, I share the raw realities of fear, guilt, and shame—and the profound freedom found on the other side of deconstruction. This conversation dives into the emotional highs and lows of self-discovery, the courage it takes to challenge inherited beliefs, and the power of reconnecting with your true, God-given design. Through personal stories, unconventional mentorship, and transformative frameworks, I offer hope and guidance for anyone navigating religious trauma or identity loss. This episode is an invitation to release unworthiness, heal betrayal and abandonment wounds, and step into a life of truth, alignment, and unapologetic authenticity.
