Healthier people & healthier cultures.
I don’t know how you found your way here, or where you are in your story. But I do know that life can be hard and messy, and too many of us end up caught off guard by that. Alone in it. Not sure how to move through it.
What I’ve found — through suffering, through slow healing, through things I didn’t choose — is that when we stop trying to outrun the messy and skip the process, something holy can happen. I’ve met Jesus in the dark — and He has never looked clearer to me than He did in the polished perfection of pretty fonts and curated feeds.
This space exists to name what’s hard, honor what’s real, and reflect on what’s possible — for us as individuals, and for the cultures we live in. It’s a place for spiritual honesty, nervous system regulation, and embracing the messy process of becoming healthier humans who create healthier spaces.

You can upgrade at any time — or just stay connected through the free tier. I’m so glad you’re here either way.
Why do you charge for some stuff?
Putting some thoughts behind a paywall isn’t about gatekeeping — it’s about safety. When I share the messier, less-edited parts of what I’m working through, it helps to know the people reading are choosing to be here and invested in what is being built. It creates a bit more space for nuance, process, and care.
This space isn’t meant to go viral — it’s meant to go deep. To land with the people who might be helped by it.
Why support this?
Becoming a paid subscriber isn’t just about getting more content — it’s about helping my work exist. Your support makes it possible for me to:
Continue my academic research on coercive control, religious trauma, and the psychology of influence in my role as a support-funded research associate at the University of Salford
Create a space where people don’t have to choose between faith and mental/emotional health — where spiritual depth and psychological insight can live side by side
Offer accessible, thoughtful resources for those who aren’t ready (or able) to return to church, but still want to explore faith, healing, and wholeness
This space is meant to hold the tension between belief and doubt, pain and hope, structure and freedom. If that’s work you believe in, too, I’m so grateful to have you here.
If you're a part of my Core team, thank you. You truly are the quiet board of directors keeping this thing going. On hard days, I look at your names and remember why I still show up.
Where else can you find me?
You can explore more courses, cohorts, and tools at the In Process Collective. And follow me on socials @theinprocesscollective.
