Welcome to the very first episode of The Awakening Podcast! Hosted by Heather (@happyheather | @happyheathersmiles) and co-host Tamara Buchanan (@feralatheistjezebel321 on TikTok | @tamarajo321 on Instagram), this show is all about real conversations, raw stories, and reclaiming our voices after religious trauma.
In this episode, we share who we are, why we started this podcast, and what listeners can expect moving forward. Together, we’ll be exploring the journey of healing, spirituality, deconstruction, and the many ways people are finding freedom and wholeness outside of toxic systems.
✨ Whether you’re just beginning to question or you’ve been walking this path for years, this is a space where your story matters.
