Spiritual Awakening, Religious Trauma & Emotional Authenticity: Reclaiming Self Beyond Conditioning

In this deeply reflective episode, therapist and host, Malisa Hepner, sits down with Paul B. Miller to explore the layered journey of spiritual awakening, healing from religious trauma, and reclaiming emotional authenticity. Together, they unpack how societal and religious conditioning shape identity, relationships, and self-worth—and what it really takes to come back to yourself. This conversation offers grounded insight into self-love, perception shifts, and the courage it takes to question everything you were taught in order to live in alignment.

Notice where your beliefs feel inherited rather than chosen.

Take a few minutes to gently ask yourself: "What do I believe about myself, love, or safety—and where did that belief come from?"
