"You'll only need your degree if your husband dies" | Deconstructing spiritual trauma from high control groups

Have you ever been told that your education only matters if your husband dies, and felt something inside you recoil even while you tried to believe it was "godly wisdom"? This episode explores the spiritual trauma women face in high control religious groups and the process of recovering from abuse and harmful conditioning. If you were taught that your value lies in supporting a man rather than pursuing your own growth, career, or financial independence, this conversation will help you understand why that mindset was a strategy to keep you dependent and controllable. We discuss the emotional, relational, and financial costs of these teachings, often embedded in high demand religions, and how they impact your self-worth and family dynamics. This episode invites you to begin deconstructing those beliefs and envision a new story where your intelligence, curiosity, and independence are sacred and empowering. Whether you’re leaving religion, recovering from spiritual abuse, or navigating life after high control groups, this conversation will support your courageous next steps.Press play to untangle old beliefs about education, money, and womanhood, and start embracing a life that belongs fully to you. Tags: religious trauma, spiritual abuse, deconstruction, exvangelical, exmormon, recovering catholic, excatholic, former jehovah's witness, women's empowerment, feminism, leaving religion, self-worth, high demand religions, high control groups, cult recovery, brainwashed.Writer and Host: Clare CoradoVoiceover Talent: Jason KirkoverSupport the showContact: [email protected] Instagram: @brainwashbegone
