Why are we here? For many of us the cathedral didn't crumble overnight- it started with one question we weren't allowed to ask. In this debut episode, I'm exiting the sanctuary and departing from Catholicism.

We're exploring the 'why' behind this podcast and discovering what deconstruction really looks like. This isn't about having the answers; its about finally being comfortable with being curious. Grab a coffee, tea (or something stronger) and lets be uncomfortable together.

As mentioned in this episode, here are some important resources :

www.nsvrc.org -National sexual violence resource center

www.snapnetwork.org -Survivors Network for those abused by priests

aaagnostica.org - a secular 12 step recovery

https://www.crusadeagainstclergyabuse.com/ -website created by the surviving family of the case I reference in this episode.

Sexual abuse is NEVER justified. If you are a victim of abuse there is help available. Please visit the above listed websites, call local authorities, or at the very least, reach out to me via the provided email address.

I welcome any and all questions/comments from my listeners.

I'd love to hear from you, please share what's on your mind!
