18. My Mom, My Hero, My Exit from Faith

Who is Miguel? We finally sit down with the man behind the chair. Miguel shares his story of growing up in a deeply religious Protestant household in Puerto Rico, the betrayal that shattered his trust, and the slow, sometimes painful process of deconstructing his faith. We talk about cultural shock in the Midwest, finding family through friendships, navigating dating with a religious past, and keeping a strong bond with his devout mother despite their different beliefs. Honest, funny, and heartfelt, Miguel’s journey is a reminder that resilience, community, and kindness matter more than dogma.Follow us on:Patreon | YouTube | Instagram | TikTok | FacebookSupport the show
