Mindy Tyler shares her journey of religious deconstruction and healing in the Divorced Virgin Project. Growing up in an evangelical community, Mindy experienced the influence of purity culture and the challenges of questioning and leaving the faith. She now identifies as a spiritual atheist, finding connection to nature and science. The Divorced Virgin Project was inspired by Mindy's own experiences and the need for a comprehensive program to address religious trauma and provide healing modalities. The project covers various topics, including body shaming, diet culture, and psychedelic therapy. In this episode, Mindy discusses the importance of exploring different healing modalities beyond therapy, especially for individuals with complex trauma. She shares insights from her Divorced Virgin Project and Mindy reflects on the most difficult and rewarding aspects of the project, including personal growth and healing.
