Też OdchodzęNatalia Białobrzeska: Nie pochodzę z religijnej rodziny | odc. 2Pierwszą gościnią podcastu Też Odchodzę jest Natalia Białobrzeska (Drużyna B) - autorka hashtagu #teżodchodzę, który jesienią 2020 roku wywołał na Instagramie sporą dyskusję. Natalia mówi o tym, czym była a czym jest dla niej wiara, o hermetyczności polskiego Kościoła i dorastaniu w nim. O studiach teologicznych, lęku i procesie odchodzenia, który trwał u niej kilka lat. Co sprawiło, że była katolicka publicystka dziś już z Kościołem się nie utożsamia? Rozmawia Jola Szymańska.
