Quick recapRyan discussed spiritual abuse within the Alliance of the Holy Family International (AHFI), focusing on how the group manipulates religious concepts like discernment and obedience to control members. He explained how AHFI leaders use guilt and fear tactics, such as threatening curses on members who leave or fail to meet their prayer and task requirements. Ryan shared his personal experience of being told it was a sin to not complete the required number of rosaries, despite having other obligations. He emphasized that this form of spiritual abuse is not aligned with true Christian teachings and advised anyone in a similar situation to seek wisdom and consider leaving the group.If you would like to support my channel please consider:buymeacoffee.com/truththath7Thank you for all of your support and for helping to make this channel a reality :)

Guest Bio: (Taken from Porsche's Website) www.porscheangelcoaching.netHi! I'm Porsche - A wife, artist, business owner and a mom to several fur-babies over the years. Although these titles have been a part of the dream I envisioned for myself, more than a decade of my life felt like a constant struggle to achieve what mattered most to me: Career fulfillment and love. I graduated with a BA in Communications, started a Masters in Teaching and had managed to climb corporate ladders only to receive subpar compensation and treatment. It also didn't appear to matter how degreed or accoladed I was, as none of my awards, talents or resumes seemed to qualify me for a loving relationship with staying power. Prior to meeting my husband at age 35, I was a world-traveled musician, teacher, model and intern with a fortune 500 company… But, I was chronically single and frustrated with feeling undervalued.Dating options were subpar and the few relationships I found myself in were even more disastrous. Can you relate?With all I'd given to work and to people, I should've had more - More money and more love in my life. It truly wasn't adding up. After so many years of silent desperation, I purposefully set out on a quest to change my life's story. Being confused, lonely or upset was no longer an option. I went through therapy and worked with coach after coach to learn why I had been stuck in the twilight zone of disappointment… why I hadn't been getting what I wanted in a partner and in my career.Like many, I didn't have the parental modeling to show me what success was in either of these areas. In fact, I was shown the complete opposite. Growing up, I saw divorce, strained relationships and working hard to merely survive - I had been programmed to play out the same cycles! If this sounds familiar, you've likely been wired for similar outcomes too. But the biggest thing wasn't just understanding how life ended up the way it did - It wasn't enough to get a diagnosis alone. I had to know what to do about it. More importantly, I wanted to know who I needed to become in order to have the life and love I desired and deserved.My journey of discovery and transformation sparked a passion inside to see others experience the same things as well. For me, there's no greater feeling than to realize and celebrate dreams coming true and making impact in the lives of those around me. It is through this work that I've been able to find and share my light. This is true love, purpose and fulfillment - Let me help you find yours.If you would like to support my channel please consider:buymeacoffee.com/truththath7Thank you for all of your support and for helping to make this channel a reality :)

In this solo episode, Ryan Anthony Hernandez discussed his thoughts on religious abuse and its relationship to spiritual abuse, sharing his personal experiences from being involved in a cult known as the Alliance of the Holy Family International. He explored how religious abuse can manifest through the misuse of scripture, doctrine, and authority to bully or harass members, contrasting this with the cult's perception of themselves as victims of religious persecution. Ryan shared a specific example from the Philippines where the cult fabricated stories of persecution to maintain control over members, highlighting the manipulative tactics used to create an "us versus them" mentality and isolate members from the outside world. He emphasized that while the cult leadership would likely claim to be victims of religious abuse based on his definitions, the reality was that they were the abusers using fear and deception to maintain power.If you would like to support my channel please consider:buymeacoffee.com/truththath7Thank you for all of your support and for helping to make this channel a reality :)

Ryan explored the concepts of religious and spiritual abuse, focusing primarily on religious abuse. He discussed how religious abuse involves using religious doctrines, scriptures, or authority to bully or harass others, often under the guise of helping or saving them. Ryan emphasized that while the abuser's intentions may seem good, the underlying motivation is often pleasure derived from exerting power or control. He also highlighted how religious abuse can occur not only through formal religious authorities but also by individuals within the laity who use religion to shame or humiliate others. Ryan concluded by stating that religious abuse is characterized by focusing excessively on rules and laws to the detriment of individuals' spiritual growth and that he is open to further discussion and potential changes in his understanding of these concepts.

Guest Info (Taken from Alyssa's Website)Alyssa Carmona| Certified Bioenergetics Practitioner, Hair Mineral Analysis Testing Coaching, Zone Therapist, NLP Certified Change Worker, Integral Eye Movement Therapy Certified, Qigong InstructorIn my early 20s, I faced a storm of confusing and exhausting symptoms: unexplained weight gain, cystic acne, pre-diabetes, chronic fatigue, SIBO, anxiety, amenorrhea—and eventually, a PCOS diagnosis. I tried everything: medications that came with harsh side effects, visits to functional doctors, SIBO protocols, heavy metal detoxes, and endless allergy testing. Despite all the effort, I still felt disconnected from my body and far from healed.What finally changed? I stopped treating symptoms in isolation and began supporting the whole system.Through deep research and personal experimentation, I discovered cellular healing through body-field balancing. I started addressing not just the physical—but the energetic, emotional, and subconscious imprints that were holding me back. That's when real healing began.As my body found balance, it naturally began releasing the toxic load it had been carrying for years. My symptoms resolved. My fertility returned. My energy and clarity returned. And perhaps most importantly—I reclaimed trust in my body.Now, It's My Mission to Help You Do the SameNavigating health today can feel overwhelming. Even with the “right” supplements, clean diet, and good intentions—many people still feel stuck. That's because true healing requires more than just physical input.

I lost my mother and my grandmother within months of each other. The grief was a tidal wave, pulling me into a deep depression.

I numbed the pain with prescriptions, alcohol, and the relentless noise of a life lived for others.

Guest: Deanna Repose OaksShort Bio (taken from Deanna's website) "I devoured books in childhood as a way to disassociate from the chaos of my family life and I started writing to keep record of what was happening. My writing began humbly with journals and diaries, like any preteen girl is wont to do, but when my writing was exposed to gaslight, the colors and tones became tainted and ruined, so in the seventh grade I turned to poetry. I hid what I was feeling in metaphors & analogies so they couldn't be torn apart and designated lies. What seems simple language on the page is a very complex retelling of events.There are 3 poems revealing facets of this: “Note To Self” and “Looking The Part” both included within Trauma's Death, and “Dear Mom” in The Order of Chaos."Find out more about Deanna at her website: https://deannareposeoaks.com/

Guest Bio: "Hi, my name is Katie Inlay. I grew up in a small town in Iowa, surrounded by the warmth of community, midwest values and the vastness of open skies. At just 17, I found myself drawn into a religious organization called the Alliance of the Two Hearts, which promised a path to enlightenment, vocational calling, healing and connection. After dedicating years to this organization and their teachings, I came to realize that it was a misleading cult. My journey to break free wasn't just about escaping; it was a profound struggle for my identity and existence. Today, I want to share a fragment of that part of my story with you.You see, I didn't merely seek to escape; I fought to truly live—to embrace life in all its complexity and beauty. And that's the essence of what I want to convey. No matter where you are in your journey, no matter how lost or overwhelmed you may feel, you are not alone. There is immense power in your narrative, healing in your voice, and liberation waiting just beyond your fears.This is my story, yes, but it's also a reflection of yours. We all face moments when we feel disconnected from who we are. I promise you—just as I found my way back, you can too. You can reclaim the life that is rightfully yours, and you can tap into the faith that has quietly been there, waiting for your return.Thank you for allowing me to share this journey with you. May you find the courage to persevere and the strength to rise above whatever challenges life has placed in your path.With love- Katie Inlay"Read Katie's blog here:https://www.katieinlay.com/blogIf you would like to support my channel please consider:http://buymeacoffee.com/truththath7Thank you for all of your support and for helping to make this channel a reality :)

Episode Guest: Carlyn ShawCarlyn Shaw's Bio: (Taken from Carlyn's website)I'm a Life Coach, Connection Catalyst, Smile & Synchronicity Starter, Inspirational Storyteller and the Founder of Strangers To Friends. I'm also traveling the world with Trusted Housesitters and currently in Australia! I'm on a SMILE MISSION: Your Smile Vibe attracts your Tribe! My "Whoever Smiles First Wins" Shirts prove - Our Smiles Connect Us All. They inspire JOY! The shirts also reflect self love, knowing when we smile for ourselves...we've already won. From my MS diagnosis in 1997 (age 19) to the death of my best friends the following year, to painful journeys, including the loss of my front teeth, I share my raw stories to show you're not alone, but most importantly, we have a choice on how to handle "what happens". We GET TO create a life we love - even when it feels like we are starting from scratch. I invite you to rewrite your story to serve you so you can live a life you not only dream of, but deserve. The moment you decide to show up for yourself, life starts to show up for you, too. It's time to give yourself permission, to speak your truth, trust your intuition and own your worth. You're not alone. And, you don't have to navigate your stories, on your own. It's no accident we are meeting! I'm excited for you to say yes to courageous action and live in joy!For more information about Carlyn Shaw please check out her links:CarlynShaw.comStrangerstoFriends.comIG: ConnectWithCarlynIf you would like to support my channel please consider:http://buymeacoffee.com/truththath7Linktree: https://linktr.ee/truththathealspodThank you for all of your support and for helping to make this channel a reality :)

Episode Guest: Cameron Gilchrist About (Taken from Cameron's Website) Cameron Gilchrist is an author residing in San Diego, California, a far cry from the suburbs of Philadelphia where he grew up.  Through the years, Cameron had multiple ventures including owning and running an art gallery, an entertainment company, a video production company and a career in solution engineering. Cameron fell in love with books at an early age and he credits the public library and its story-laden shelves for giving him the courage to persist through the dark times.  When not herding words into some semblance of order, Cameron can be found pretending to play guitar or perfecting a stand-up routine that will most likely never see a stage. Witty, funny and fierce, his memoir, The Truth About Demons is a relentless rollercoaster of heartbreak and hope, featuring larger-than-life characters that could easily grace a movie screen.  Check out his website here: https://camgilchrist.com/ Order his book on Amazon: https://a.co/d/dHFxeGT If you would like to support my channel please consider: http://buymeacoffee.com/truththath7 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/truththathealspod Thank you for all of your support and for helping to make this channel a reality :)
