This week, Angela Keeley joins us to chat about her experiences of growing up in small-town Ontario as a Catholic, and how she found freedom in exploring her spirituality on her own without the box the Church built around her. She also talks about discovering her own privilege growing up in that environment as a white, cis-presenting woman despite the narrative of oppression she had lived in, how she worked through the misogyny inherent in that environment, how she unlearned her religious indoctrination and is still working through the nonlinear process of deconstruction, and the new spiritual practices she's incorporated into her life now.

It's a great conversation and I hope you enjoy it!
