Love all of Natalie’s podcasts and the mentor program! I don’t always listen to the flying free podcasts because Flying Higher and The Divorced Christian Woman podcast are a higher priority for me.

It was so validating to know what I was basing my decisions on before and during my marriage. I was truly doing the best I could with all that I had been taught and beli... more

This podcast is nothing short of life-changing. Natalie’s program is also phenomenal-beyond anything else I’ve been a part of.
Apple Podcasts5RoMarie0United States3 months ago - Highly recommend!
I have listened to quite a few podcasts about abuse and tying to find something that looks at things from a Christian perspective but it balanced and takes emotional abuse seriously. This podcast nails it. Natalie is fair and balanced. The way she explains things is SPOT ON and so helpful for women in these situations or if you have friends in these relationships how to understand and help them.
