I was extremely nervous and full of dread making this episode.
In Breaking the Umbrella, I take you through my journey of growing up under the strict teachings of the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP). Twice, I attended the two-week 'character-building' programs, where rigid family hierarchies, gender roles, and submission were ingrained as the divine order. But what was taught as 'protection' became the foundation for manipulation, control, and abuse that followed me into adulthood.
I open up about how these teachings influenced my marriage, my self-worth, and my understanding of what it means to be a woman in a world where silence and obedience were demanded—and the cost I paid for it. From unraveling the threads of spiritual manipulation to reclaiming my voice and redefining my own value, this podcast is both a reckoning and a rebirth.
Join me as I break the silence, challenge the doctrine, and step out from under the umbrella to rediscover who I am—on my own terms.
It's time to tell the stories that were never meant to be told.
