In this episode of the Unburdened podcast, we’ll navigate the treacherous yet enlightening path of healing from spiritual trauma with TIffany Harris. – a licensed professional counselor and yoga instructor as she unravels the complexities that come with questioning or leaving one's faith.

Tiffany opens up about her own journey away from the LDS Church, sharing how the process of finding new answers and establishing a sense of security outside of a lifelong faith can be both challenging and liberating, tackling the tough emotions of grief and loss, and the crucial role that open conversations and safe spaces play in the healing process.
