Navigating Mormonism One Episode At A Time

View Details

When we left Mormonism, we were terrified of what that would mean for our kids. It’s been 6 years of trusting ourselves as parents, trusting our kids input about what they want for their lives, and creating a dynamic parenting strategy together. While it has been far from perfect, we’re pleased with how things are… Read More »Emancipate Your Mind: 117: What We’ve Learned About Parenting Since Leaving High-Demand Religion with Kevin Hales

Have you considered how your learned attachment style with the God you were taught to worship might have informed your childhood relationships and may still inform your relationships today?

In this episode, Self-Trust Coach and Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Catherine Quiring, shares the insight she has gained from her own journey healing codependency with the high-demand Evangelical God she was taught to serve and worship.

The authenticity movement has brought us a lot of great opportunity to learn more about ourselves and free ourselves from situations that don’t feel healthy for us.

On the flip side, with the authenticity movement has grown a binary way of thinking that is reminiscent of the high demand cultures we’ve worked so hard to deconstruct.

In this episode, Communications Coach, Chris Peck and I talk about how the binary of being authentic vs. inauthentic has been used by some public figures and leaders to police our behavior and why that’s a problem. We also discuss the dangers of “experts” setting themselves up as an authority to tell you the “right” way to be your own authority.

Authenticity has become a huge topic of conversation in the past couple of decades.

While there is great freedom and personal guidance in getting curious about what does and does not feel good to us as individuals, there can also be a lot of confusion about what “being authentic’ means and even shame and fear about not showing up “authentically enough”.

This is especially true if you spent years of your life in a high demand system where you outsourced your sense of self to religious or parental authority.

In this episode, Chris Peck, my good friend and public speaking coach, agreed to continue our search for answers about authenticity by reading Stephen Joseph’s 2017 book, “Authentic: How to Be Yourself and Why it Matters” and record an open discussion about what we learned, what felt concerning to us both, and what new questions popped up from the reading material.

We hope you enjoy coming along on this philosophical journey with us.

Kevin shares ideas about what men themselves can do to become aware of and heal subconscious programming about what it means to be a man.
