107 - Tia Levings | A Well-Trained Wife & Her Escape From Christian Patriarchy

Today's guest on the pod is Tia Levings, a writer, creator, guest expert, and content specialist. She shines light on the abuses of Christian fundamentalism and offers contextual insight into the true horrors of religious trauma. Her memoir, A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy, releases with St. Martin’s Press on August 6th, 2024. 

Her videos on social media have millions of views. Through the lens of her personal experience, she connects entertainment, news headlines, and current events to fundamentalist influences and strategy. 

She write about religious trauma and Christian fundamentalism to educate, validate, and empower those who feel smashed by the patriarchy. To create something beautiful from pain. And, because when she went through the hell of church-sanctioned violence, she felt alone and she wasn’t. There are thousands of others out there.
