In this funny, gentle and soul-nourishing episode of Spiritually Unboxed, Leah Samara sits down with somatic practitioner and relationship expert, Renee Kohn to discuss the profound and often challenging journey of finding your soul family when familial or parental estrangement becomes a necessary path.

Navigating the complexities of becoming estranged from family members by choice can be an incredibly difficult decision—one filled with emotional turmoil and a sense of loss. But through open and compassionate conversation, Leah and Renee aim to eradicate the shame often associated with this decision, offering a safe space to explore the possibility of creating a chosen family that are supportive, encouraging and loving.

Renee shares how establishing a supportive, chosen family isn't about replacing those we've distanced from, but about welcoming bonus family members who nourish your journey towards an impactful, authentic life.

In a world where high-achieving women often grapple with toxic familial ties and the weight of external expectations, this episode offers a transformative perspective on redefining what family can mean—beyond blood ties. With heartfelt guidance, they unpack the healing power of intentionally cultivating connections that support your God-given value and help you co-create a life filled with more peace.

Tune in to discover how stepping into the freedom of choosing your own sanctuary of support can lead you closer to an unshakeable, authentic life of impact.

I’m so excited to share this conversation with you. For the first time on the Spiritually Unboxed podcast, I welcomed a male guest—David Ruybalid, a trauma-informed pastor and a passionate advocate for those who have experienced religious trauma in the Christian church. We dove deep into topics that are so close to my heart: faith deconstruction, faith reconstruction, and the journey of learning to trust God again after a crisis of faith.

In this episode, David and I share our personal experiences of questioning and wrestling with faith. We talk openly about the complexities that come with faith deconstruction—how it feels to have your spiritual foundations shaken, and what it looks like to reconstruct a faith that is more honest and in alignment with who God really is. David’s perspective is full of empathy and wisdom. He has a unique way of understanding the journey of those who have faced spiritual abuse and the profound impact it can have on our relationship with God.

David also opens up about the harsh realities of religious trauma, including spiritual and even sexual abuse within church communities, and how these experiences can shatter your sense of self and faith. We explore what it means to wrestle through that trauma—and come out the other side.

This conversation is about finding hope in the process of faith reconstruction. David and I create a safe space to talk about the hard stuff—the hard questions, the anger, the "Why?"—but also the hope and renewal that can come from rebuilding a relationship with God that is grounded in honesty.

I hope this episode encourages you to see that you’re not alone in your journey. Faith deconstruction doesn't have to be the end; it can be the beginning of something more real and fulfilling. David’s insights provide a path forward, inviting you to reconnect with God in an authentic and empowering way.

So, if you’ve ever found yourself in a crisis of faith, questioning your beliefs, or feeling disconnected from God, I know this conversation will resonate with you.

Join us as we dive into these topics with vulnerability and authenticity.

________________

David Ruybalid, a trauma-informed pastor and dedicated advocate, addresses religious trauma within the church through various mediums such as written works, speaking engagements, and podcast appearances. Specializing in guiding victims toward healing, he emphasizes resilience and recovery from the adverse effects of religious trauma and abusive experiences in religious settings. David accomplishes this by highlighting Jesus and illustrating how abuse in a Christian environment deviates from Jesus's heart.

*Not safe for kiddies or work***

This episode is for the woman who’s done it all—achieved the goals, built the career, checked all the boxes—yet still finds herself weighed down by the shame and restrictions of Purity Culture. We’re diving deep into the parts of your life that often get ignored: your body, your pleasure, and the unspoken rules that have been holding you back.

Join me as I sit down with Angela Griffith, also known as "The Christian Sexpert," to confront the lies that have shaped our views on sex and intimacy in Christian marriages. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your own body or struggled to find confidence in the bedroom, this episode will hit home.

In this candid conversation, we break down:

  • The Orgasm Gap: How this gap isn’t just about physical pleasure but reflects a deeper issue of self-worth that seeps into every area of your life.
  • Reclaiming Body Confidence: It’s time to let go of the shame and guilt instilled by Purity Culture and start feeling at home in your own skin—because your confidence in the bedroom impacts your confidence everywhere else.
  • Healing from Toxic Teachings: Even the most successful among us can be haunted by the toxic teachings of Purity Culture. We’ll unpack how these beliefs might still be affecting you and, more importantly, how to start healing and embark on a journey of Purity Culture recovery.
  • Embracing Your Right to Pleasure: Pleasure isn’t just allowed—it’s necessary. We’ll talk about how to unapologetically advocate for your own sexual pleasure and why it’s a critical part of your overall fulfillment.
  • Overcoming Double Standards: The double standards of Purity Culture have no place in your life. We’ll discuss how to recognize them, challenge them, and ultimately break free from them.

Angela Griffiths brings humour and expertise as a Christian sex expert to a topic that so many women feel too ashamed to talk about. With over 100k followers on TikTok, she’s here to challenge what you’ve been taught and help you reclaim your sexual confidence.

This isn’t just about sex—it’s about stepping into your full, authentic self. When you break free from the lies of Purity Culture, you open up space for deeper intimacy with your partner and yourself, greater self-worth, and the kind of confidence that transforms your life and work.

PS. And yes, I didn’t blush once during this conversation—I’m owning it! LS x

Leah Samara, the voice behind the Spiritually Unboxed podcast, makes a powerful return after a transformative 7-month hiatus with a message every high-achieving female leader needs to hear. This season opener is not just about a shift—it's about a divine pivot that realigned everything Leah does, personally, professionally, and in her work with this podcast.

In this unmissable episode, Leah uncovers why traditional strategy and mindset work can only take high achievers so far and what you need instead to experience true spiritual, life, and work fulfillment. She shares how a single, profound message from God reshaped her entire approach and why this revelation is critical for leaders who are passionate about a cause, yet feel weighed down by past expectations and religious programming.

Leah also explores the transformative concepts of Spiritual Wealth, the Spiritual Fringe, and God Wounds, offering fresh insights for women who are ready to break free from the need for external validation and step into their true, God-given identity.

This episode is a deep, honest conversation designed to empower you to be radically authentic in your relationships, align your work with your divine purpose, and achieve the kind of unshakeable peace and fulfillment that only comes from God. If you're a high achiever seeking to co-create a more impactful life from a place of spiritual rest and peace, this is the episode you've been waiting for.

NOTE: this is the last episode in this season. We'll be back for season 2 around March/April 2024. Make sure you SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss anything!

I wanted this episode out into the world ASAP because I see so many of you high achieving, high-level INCREDIBLE and sparkly, vibrant leaders who are dimming your light down for the comfort of others.

If others believe you're too loud, too bright, too opinionated, THAT'S OKAY. You weren't born to make others comfortable by dimming yourself down. You were born to be yourself, even while others may have big feelings, judgements, opinions or even melt downs.

This episode is about showing up VIBRANT, shining bright unapologetically and living a deeply honest and authentic life while making ripples of global and generational impact.

Many women in religious Christian churches have swallowed the bitter poison of toxic submission doctrine..

.. that little phrase "wives, submit to your husbands" that sends ripples anxiety through many women that has often been administered to keep women silenced and compliant.

As little girls we've watched as our moms had to submit to abusive, incompetent, negligent or passive men.

We've dulled ourselves down and pretended we're not smarter than the men in our spheres (along with any desire or skill we have to lead).

We’ve silenced ourselves as we’ve encountered men who’ve demanded it from us in the very spaces that should’ve been safest.

We have felt trapped.
We have felt powerless.
We have been stripped of our voice and our brilliance as women in the name of this teaching.

This has impacted the voices, self-worth and self-belief.. along with their ability to just have beautiful, safe, nourishing relationships.

This is one of the major reasons women leave church, and walk away from God himself.

Because how could an all-loving God expect this of us?

THIS is why we needed to have this discussion.

A deep discussion about the poison, scripture, the wounding, God's view and how we move beyond all of these triggers to have healthy relationships with men in harmony with God's original intention for us.

Lemon Price's distinctive story encompasses breaking away from cult-like controlling religious communities and churches, overcoming religious abuse and church hurt to discover her life's purpose shattering female leadership ceilings not just for herself but for those who walk in her footsteps.
