When the Church Controls Your Body, Voice, and Bank Account with Tia Levings
What happens when the doctrines of faith and control intersect with a woman's autonomy? In this replay episode, I sat down with Tia Levings, author of the powerful memoir “A Well-Trained Wife,” and her story will leave you speechless. Tia dives deep into her experience growing up in and escaping from Christian fundamentalism and the trad wife movement— before it was even called that. We talk about how patriarchal control impacts women financially, emotionally, and physically, and how that same mindset influences the political movements we're seeing today. If you've ever wondered how personal freedom intersects with religion, politics, and financial independence, this is the episode for you.
