EP 38 | We Found God...In Ourselves (Plot Twist!)

In this episode, Brenda opens up about her journey with religion—how it shaped her, how it manipulated her, and how it taught her to constantly look outside of herself for answers. For a long time, religion told her to serve something beyond her, when in reality, the deepest truth was this: you learn to honor God when you learn to honor yourself.

We unpack how so many people are taught to "pray the pain away," but rarely are we taught to actually sit with it, feel it in our bodies, and do the somatic work that leads to real healing. Brenda shares how she began moving through stored trauma—not with more prayers, but with breath, bodywork, and deep self-inquiry. Nancz also shares her experience within religion and how it actually ended up pushing her away from God.

If you’ve ever questioned your spiritual upbringing or felt like you were bypassing your healing in the name of faith, this episode will hit deep. It’s not about abandoning your beliefs—it’s about reclaiming your connection to yourself first.
