Episode 85, Aug 07, 10:00 AM
In this episode of the Deeper Than Dough podcast, Bennett Maxwell sits down with Amy Green Smith to discuss her journey of breaking free from a conservative, born-again Christian upbringing and finding her own voice and self-worth.
Amy shares the impact of setting boundaries, speaking up for oneself, and recognizing the value of one's opinions and needs. She discusses societal pressures to achieve and the need to prioritize self-care and mental well-being. The conversation explores critical thinking and questioning beliefs while maintaining empathy and understanding in relationships and personal growth.
Topics covered include self-interest, people-pleasing, religious extremism, deconstruction, and the concept of worthiness. Amy and Bennett explore the idea that all actions are driven by self-interest, whether immediate or delayed. They address the grief and identity crisis that can accompany leaving a religion and emphasize the importance of distinguishing between self-preservation and outsourcing self-worth.
Additionally, they discuss the role of language and words in shaping our beliefs and experiences. Join us for an episode that aims to inspire and challenge your perspectives on personal growth, self-worth, and the journey to finding your true voice.
