Episode 11 — From Evangelical to Wiccan: Brooke’s Journey Into Freedom and Parenthood

This week on The Awakening, we sit down with Brooke, a young woman whose spiritual path has taken her from evangelical Christianity to embracing Wicca. Brooke opens up about what led her to deconstruct, how she discovered a more empowering and earth-centered spiritual practice, and what parenting looks like when you’re healing from religious trauma while raising the next generation.

Her story is honest, brave, and full of insight about reclaiming identity, intuition, and personal power after leaving high-control faith spaces.
