If setting boundaries with religious loved ones leaves you feeling:

đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«Confused
😣 Guilty
đŸ˜©Like you’re the problem

You’re not alone.

In my 1:1 client work, I help people:
â–ȘIdentify what’s theirs to carry (and what’s not)
â–ȘCommunicate boundaries without over-explaining
â–ȘRebuild relationships with honesty and clarity
â–ȘHonor their healing even when it’s misunderstood

You don’t have to keep shrinking just to stay connected.

If you’re ready to make space for peace, I’d love to support you.

Boundaries are built in small, powerful moments.

Moments like:
â–ȘSaying “I’m not discussing that with you.”
â–ȘSkipping a religious gathering that drains you.
â–ȘPausing before replying to a guilt-laced text.
â–ȘChoosing silence over explaining yourself again.

Each of these is a reclamation. Each of these is healing in motion. Let’s celebrate them.

Just because someone “means well” doesn’t mean they’re entitled to cross your lines.

If your body tenses when you see their name pop up—pay attention. If you feel drained, resentful, or silenced after interacting with them—that’s information.

Boundary violations don’t always come with yelling or threats. Sometimes they’re wrapped in guilt, spiritual platitudes, or “just checking in.” Your peace matters.

Gather around, saints and sinners! It’s time for some Good News (No Reentance Required!) ✹

This week’s roundup is an altar call for everyone who has been delivered from purity rings, patriarchal programming, and that one youth pastor who told you your shoulders were a stumbling block. đŸ™đŸŒ

Leaving an abusive relationship is never as simple as “just leave”—especially when faith is used to keep you trapped.

If you’re navigating this right now, your safety matters more than any scripture someone tries to weaponize against you.

Maybe it’s walking away from a conversation that doesn’t feel safe.

Maybe it’s saying, “I’m not available for that topic.”

Maybe it’s quietly changing your holiday plans this year.

There’s no one-size-fits-all version of healing. But your boundaries matter—and they don’t need to be loud or justified to be valid.

💭 What’s one way you’ve practiced boundary-setting with religious loved ones?

Your story might be the encouragement someone else needs today. Feel free to share below. đŸ–€

Most of us were taught that asking hard questions–or questions at all–meant rebellion. 
That choosing a different path made you unfaithful or dangerous.

But you’re not wrong for wanting clarity. You’re not bad for wanting safety. And you’re not broken for walking away.

Reclaiming your voice is not betrayal.

It’s power.

And you don’t need to apologize for that.
