Living Deliberately: Patriarchy and Perseverance with Tia Levings
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it mean to heal from trauma caused by the people, beliefs, and practices of your faith? And to rebuild a sense of self, when high-control religion said you shouldn’t have one?
Today, we’re joined by New York Times bestselling author of A Well-Trained Wife, Tia Levings. Her harrowing experiences provided the blueprint for Tia’s raw and unfiltered memoir about religious trauma and the insidious trappings of Christian fundamentalism. This ideology, built around patriarchal men and submissive women, provides the same foundation of today’s right-wing conservatives, underpins the MAGA movement, and is the model for today’s trad wife.
In this episode, we’ll dissect some of the teachings and practices designed to stifle female agency and independence, explore Tia’s mental health journey to healing, and how her trauma became her testimony for others. In her upcoming book, I Belong to Me, Tia dives even deeper with other survivors about the healing process that comes after surviving womanhood in high-control environments.
