Hey There Friend! I’m Angela J. Herrington, your friendly neighborhood faith deconstruction coach and it’s great to (virtually) meet you!
As a certified life coach, seminary-trained online pastor, and a faith deconstruction coach I have a lot of experience helping people connect with God. But this is also a very personal journey for me.
For the last decade, I’ve been on my own journey to break free from learned smallness and step into wild sacred holy womanhood. Long story short, after finding faith in my early 30’s I began to realize that what I was hearing from the church about women didn’t always line up with what God was telling me. I loved God but realized the church was teaching some really toxic stuff.
So this Enneagram 8, first born, Gen Xer started deconstructing. I questioned and challenged everything I thought I knew about faith, gender, and myself.
It was messy and took a lot of work to sort it out. Therapy. Coaching. Bodywork. Spiritual healing. Conferences and retreats. And even a couple of college degrees.
You name it…I tried it..
But the thing that made the biggest difference was the presence and support of wise people who helped me up when I didn’t know where else to turn.
So I doubled down on my commitment to create an inclusive support system for people, like you, who are longing to get away from toxic religion, recover from religious trauma, and cultivate a nourishing spiritual life. I provide support through online envents, my new book (Deconstruct Your Faith Without Losing Yourself), The Faith Deconstruction Cafe (a free online community), my blog, and my work as a faith deconstruction coach .
I would be honored to be your faith deconstruction coach as you uncover what’s holding you back and create a plan to break free!
XOXO.
