A Recovering Church Girl Pt 1 w/ Tonia Adleta

https://play.goldenmicpodcast.com/0024_adleta


Have you ever had something that you firmly believed as truth begin to crumble? Like a romantic relationship that you'd think would last forever, that ends before your matching tattoos have time to heal? Zoinks, Scoob!


Or how about a belief system that you dedicated your entire life to start crashing down? If you haven't, it may happen in the next decade.


I met Tonia in NYC as she was planning a networking event. And talk about cutting directly to the chase, we saw each other and immediately went into an intense, intuitive conversation about our lives - god, kids, entrepreneurship. 


This is the first part of Tonia Adleta's 2 part series The Recovering Church girl.


Born pre-mature, Tonia was dressed in dolls clothes. Her family moved over 16 times while growing up - sometimes she be the cool new kid in school, other times, not high on the homeroom's pecking order. 


The rock that her family stood on during that constant transition were within the walls of her religious family and her own family's beliefs about raising a child in the church. Not only was Tonia a part of the teen missionary. It was later called by the mainstream media a cult. That's when the cookie smashed.


But if you listen closely, there were some doubts creeping up about patriarchy and "submitting" that were not sitting well with Tonia. Insidious things that ate away at her conviction in religion. Listen to her reaction when I say submit, the unwinding of a system with quite a bit of hegemony, not unlike many systems, where dogma became too disruptive and Tonia, decided as a recovering church girl, to take a stab at spirituality internally.

I'm so stoked to present the first part of A Recovering Church Girl Pt. 1.
