The Fearlessly Free Podcast
Selina Parris
Spiritual abuse and church trauma - no one talks about it, yet it’s affected so many of us! This podcast is a “ no bars held” platform to speak candidly and unapologetically about the things that have held us back. Trauma, not just religious, impacts all of us in so many different ways, often leaving us like birds locked in cages. My aim is to unpack these issues on a safe non-judgemental platform that gives permission for every caged bird to fly again. You don't have to be imprisoned by what happened to you. You were designed to not only fly, but to soar! You CAN be fearless and free!
Are you really judging me for how I'm responding to my pain?
Religious people can be so judgy can’t they?! They see you’ve left the church and all of a sudden you’re on the way to the wide path of destruction *rolls eyes emoji* When all it really is, like in most people-y experiences, you were let down by people who should’ve done better. Listen to this informative episode as I give tips on how to really support someone who’s experienced church abuse and/or trauma.

Letter to the Church Player Part 4 - A Man's Perspective
In this final instalment of the four-part special. The guys (Riccy Mitchell, Kial Jon-Lewis, Nicholas Osei, and Emmanuel Lawal) really debunked some myths, and the thinking that we as women have. We talked about sex, what men want, what women should look out for when dating a man. We spoke about the importance of listening to our gut when dating someone. The guys even told us never to lower our standards for a guy just because we like them! This episode was rich with banter, wisdom, and encouragement. I know you're going to enjoy this one!

Letter to the Church Player Part 3 - A Man's Perspective
Me and the lads (Kial Jon-Lewis, Emmanuel Lawal, Riccy Mitchell, Nicholas Osei) discuss every and anything about men and women's expectations. We talk about the dating scene, and whether it's OK for a woman to approach a man. We unpack the impact of social media on relationships, and I even ask one of the guys to explain why Christian men are [seemingly] timid when it comes to dating women! We know you're going to enjoy this one. Don't forget to comment, rate the podcast, and be sure to subscribe so you never miss new episode releases!

Letter to the Church Player Part 2 - A Man’s Perspective
Ladies & Gentlemen, I present to you 'Letter to the the Church Player - From a Man's Perspective'! Y'all know that this is a very sensitive topic for most of us, and judging by the responses I received from my last instalment about this, I knew I had to do another.  So I have something special for you, especially the ladies! I have four amazing male guests (Kial Jon-Lewis, Emmanuel Lawal, Riccy Mitchell, Nicholas Osei) who have given nothing but transparency, honesty, and truth. We discuss women's vulnerabilities, a woman's worth, accountability and culture and how it impacts a man’s behaviour. The guys even share their perspective on how they feel about women's views of men, and they even talk about women proposing to their partners! I present to you a Lockdown Special! Due to social distancing, we chopped it up virtually (please forgive any background noise that you might hear), in the hope to bring some healing, enlightenment and help change some mindsets and behavioural patterns.

‘Stillness in the Standstill’
I thought I’d interrupt this series with a little pick me up in light of what’s happening right now. When it seems like hopelessness and uncertainty is everywhere, where can we go to find peace, and how do we sustain it? In this episode I speak about my experience and how I’m coping during this time. I’ve even added something extra for you! I hope you're blessed by it x

Letter to the Church Player Part 1
This episode is entitled 'Letter To The Church Player'. It's for the guys in the church who seek to play women with no intention of doing right by them. You know the one that tells you he's sincerely looking for a wife, but you find out he's really looking for a play date? I explore the effects of boys not being taught accountability as children, which then leads to them being irresponsible and dysfunctional men. How does this impact the way men see women? How does this impact the way they see God? How can they learn to be accountable to God, when their parents didn't teach them accountability when they were young?

Letter to the First Lady
This “letter” is to the ‘First Lady’ in the church. Who is she? Why does she have that title, & why is she first? I speak about the non-biblical truth behind her name, as well as explore the impact being a Pastor’s wife might have on her self esteem. I also tie in the importance of understanding your purpose so you don’t end up walking in someone else’s shoes!
