About this episode

This episode we heard from listeners about what they’ve found most rewarding about being leaving either dysfunctional families, the faith they were raised with – or both. We also talk about what we wished we’d known when we were leaving. TW: physical abuse, anti-queer rhetoricThank you so much to our community for sharing their experiences!
