In this episode, Em sits down with her good friend Missa about what it&#39;s like living with neurodivergence in a belief system that rarely admits there even is such a thing. From the roots of ADHD, to the stereotypes of the 80&#39;s and 90&#39;s, to the stigma around mental illness and seeking mental health care outside of the church- they discuss the many ways in which evangelicalism negatively impacts diagnosis and treatment and the obstacles they&#39;ve faced as women in that belief system when they are clearly not neurotypical.

Go Tell It In The Jungle: Part 1

Becoming a self-published author is not for the faint of heart. This podcast will now offer a voice to indie authors who are looking for a place to share their work, their struggles and their success. Formerly a space dedicated to exploring faith deconstruction and religious trauma, those threads of resistance remain in Em's quest to publish her own spicy romance novels. Because she is certainly not the first purity culture survivor to write smut, and she won't be the last!
