I Dislike the D Word Too
Deconstructing, Decolonizing, and What Spiritual Honesty Demands

This isn’t just another policy shift. This is a spiritual crisis. In today’s episode, I’m unpacking what’s happening with the defunding of USAID—and why it matters for those of us who are deconstructing our faith, reclaiming our values, and learning ... more

Rev Karla meets every need I have for a spiritual leader/advisor/counselor. After struggling with religion to fit my own morals and ethics, I now know it’s okay to be spiritual AND not religious. She acknowledges and validates religious trauma while also respecting the heritage and sacredness of religion. She has provided the first spiritual community where I truly feel seen, heard, and affirmed.
