Healing Toxic Shame and Religious Trauma with April Line -- Episode 002

”Things that are gross, and that aren't love, no longer look like love to me.” — the brilliant April Line

Content Warning: suicidal ideation, suicide plans

April Line, my sister, writer of April Line’s Many Minds, and founder of Get In Line Business Solutions, joined me to discuss her healing journey for ROAR Healing Stories second-ever episode. We discussed:

  • unlearning the social construct of virginity

  • how she was on a healing journey before she sought therapy/was on a more intentional healing journey

  • the power of asking “What’s is my role in this?”

  • unlearning black and white thinking and expanding into nuance

  • the difficulty of confronting our own “bad” or unhealthy behaviors

  • how “all emotions are normal.”

  • how relationships help us heal
