About this listen

After a year and a half at a troubled teen facility steeped in extreme religious beliefs led by uneducated leadership, Stephanie returns home without therapy or support—only expectations. Labeled "healed," she’s thrust into a performative role as a redeemed preacher’s daughter. In this episode, she shares the deep confusion and damage caused by false testimonies her parents wrote about her, family pressure, and emotional manipulation. From being coached to tell a story that wasn't hers to an unprepared mission trip abroad, Stephanie unpacks what it meant to be a teenager navigating trauma with no roadmap.
