For decades, I was the helper, the volunteer, the spiritual overachiever. I tried to earn God’s love by doing everything “right.” I was the one who:

• ✨ Always said yes when the church needed help
• ✨ Smiled through the silence when I wanted to ask questions
• ✨ Prayed harder when I felt disconnected from God
• ✨ Blamed myself when spiritual techniques didn’t work
• ✨ Stayed faithful even when my soul was quietly breaking

I thought that’s what faithfulness looked like.

But Underneath All the Striving…

I felt disconnected—from God, from myself, and from the woman I longed to be.

I was raised in an environment where obedience was everything and questioning felt dangerous. I learned that good girls don’t make waves, don’t ask hard questions, and certainly don’t admit when they’re struggling.

So I kept trying to pray away the confusion. Serve away the emptiness. Fix myself so I could finally feel close to God’s love again.

But none of it worked.

I was holding it all together on the outside while silently unraveling on the inside. 

I’ll never forget the moment I finally whispered the words I’d been afraid to say:

“I don’t feel close to God anymore.”

It felt like admitting failure. Like confessing that maybe I wasn’t spiritual enough, faithful enough, or good enough for the God I desperately wanted to love me.

But that whisper became my salvation.

Because when I finally got honest about my spiritual pain, I discovered something that changed everything:

It wasn’t my faith that was failing—it was the version of it I’d been handed.

The one rooted in fear, control, and silence. The one that asked me to disappear instead of grow. The one that demanded performance instead of offering presence.

I started to untangle the lies, listen for God’s true voice, and walk in the kind of healing that leads to spiritual freedom—not fear.

I discovered there was a name for what I’d experienced: religious trauma.

And more importantly, I learned there was a way through it that didn’t require abandoning my faith or losing the God I loved.

I came home—spiritually, emotionally, and relationally—after feeling spiritually homeless for so long.

I Created What I Couldn’t Find

When I was in the thick of my own healing, I searched everywhere for support that would:

✨ Honor my faith while addressing my wounds
✨ Speak my language as a woman who still loved God
✨ Offer real solutions instead of just validation
✨ Create community with women who understood
✨ Lead me deeper into God’s heart, not away from Him

I couldn’t find it anywhere.

So I created it.

The Coming Home Journey is the compassionate, honest, Spirit-led healing path I wish I’d had when I was sitting where you might be now.

I know what it’s like to:

💔 Love God deeply but feel spiritually exhausted
💔 Want to ask questions but fear being labeled rebellious
💔 Carry invisible shame you can’t explain
💔 Feel alone even in spiritual community
💔 Wonder if healing means losing everything you hold dear

And I want you to know:

You’re not rebellious. You’re awakening.
You’re not broken. You’re becoming aware.
You’re not too much. You’re finally ready to be yourself.
You’re not alone. There’s a whole community of women who understand.
