In April 2021, I decided to not renew my lease, give away all my belongings, and pack my small blue car with my clothes and other essentials and travel around the country. It seemed like a drastic decision, but in reality, it was long overdue.
For 33 years, I was in a cult, so I spent most of my life walking a path that was already predetermined for me. I spent years minimizing who I was and denying my own desires to fit into a life that was appropriate for the environment I was raised in.
In 2016, I decided to leave that religious organization and since then, I've healed, I've cried, I've forgiven, I've been angry, I've grown, I've loved, and I've hurt all over again. But through it all, I feel as though I've been called to reclaim years that I gave away to someone and something else.
So, I'm inviting you on this journey with me, whatever that may look like. In the first episode, I give you an insight into my past and what brought me to the moment where I said, "Fuck it; I'm just going to do something that I've been wanting to do since I was a freshman in college." My desire for adventure had to be surpassed, so now, I'm living it out in the way that I want.
Join me!
