The Courage to Reject Patriarchy, Love Your Authentic Self, and Change Your Life

from Changing Lives Podcast · host Wendi Gordon and Kelly Thompson TNWWY

Kelly shares parts of her recovery journey, including leaving a high-control religious environment and unpacking the conditioning that shaped her early life. I share my recovery from a severe depression and the religious beliefs I’ve rejected. Thankfully, we both got professional help, embraced Divine Love, and created better lives that include helping other people deconstruct toxic religious and cultural beliefs and reclaim their authentic selves.We discussed topics we’re both passionate about, like:* how patriarchal cultures shame women into self-hatred and submission* why self-love is essential and how it impacts our ability to love others* how dangerous it is to trust “gurus” who tell you what you must believe or do* why we need to equally value the Divine Feminine and Masculine within all of usEnjoy this conversation and share your thoughts in the comments below.P.S.
