Welcome Friend!
I’m Angela, a Faith Deconstruction Coach who would LOVE to help your audience break free from toxic religion!
Connecting with live audiences is one of my favorite things to do and you have my word that I’m fully committed to encouraging and empowering your audience. Over the last decade I’ve received rave reviews at women’s ministry events, writer’s conferences, podcasts, summits, and business workshops ranging from an intimate gathering with a handfull of attendees to large conferences several hundred in attendance.
I’m known for crushing complex topics down to bite sized pieces and sending your audience home with actionable steps. Because I’m a true Gen Xer, I LOVE thinking outside the box, combining things that are seemingly unrelated, and helping women create a unique and vibrant life that perfectly suits their soul.
As an experienced Faith Deconstruction Coach, I can help your audience find the clarity they need to navigate faith and recover from #chuchhurt.
Here are a few topics I’d love to share with your audience:
✔️ Deconstructing without losing yourself.
✔️ Learning to trust yourself more during deconstruction.
✔️ Getting rooted in who you really are.
✔️ Holding space for yourself when your faith community abandons you.
✔️ You are your best deconstruction guide, but you must find yourself first.
✔️ Trusting more, doubt more, feel more.
✔️ If it’s not trauma-informed, it’s not healthy deconstruction.
✔️And many more topics to help your people untangle from toxic religion!
I look forward to connecting with you very soon!

“Angela is an absolute delight to have on the podcast. Her wisdom is always gently delivered, always person-centered, and always with an edge of humor that we who are healing often need. Angela doesn’t give answers, but rather tools that can help deconstructors navigate towards a form of life and freedom that feels right for them.
Not only is she a great faith deconstruction coach and ally, I can’t wait until the next time I can find an excuse to have her on the podcast!”

You don’t want to miss this one…This is such a powerful episode! I would encourage you to sit down, grab a cup of coffee, and be enlightened as I was.”
