    Flying Free

    Flying Free is a support resource for women of faith who need hope and healing from hidden emotional abuse, spiritual abuse, and narcissistic abuse. Because of misogynistic theology taught in controlling and spiritually abusive churches, many Christian women find themselves in destructive marriages where there is an uneven power dynamic. Male partners use their status as a husband to gain power and control over a woman’s mind, emotions, body, social life, finances, and more. When she tries to get help from her equally abusive church environment, she is betrayed and re-abused. Flying Free offers a Christ-centered, gospel-oriented perspective on domestic abuse that protects and honors the voices and autonomy of women. Tune in each week to hear conversations with emotional abuse advocates and fellow survivors who will walk with you on your journey up and out. We hear you. You are not alone.

    How Do You Deal with the Pain of Being Rejected by Your Family? [99] Dec 29, 2020
    Show notes

    These are the questions that gnaw at your bones, that leave your soul hungry, and keep you up at night. Questions asked from the fire, the long road, the dark, and the doubt. Questions like: How do you deal with the pain of being rejected by your family? You're in good company. I understand; I can relate; and there are answers and a way forward, even in the middle of your deepest pain.


    "The fact is, if we are letting other people’s ideas and beliefs dictate our own happiness and our own emotions, that is going to create terrible results in our life. We’re basically giving over all the power for our future, the things we do, our emotions, and how we show up in the world to other people. We might as well go back and live in an abusive relationship."


    In this episode, I give answers to:

    • What to do with ruminating thoughts of justice/revenge for our abusers and fear/loneliness in ourselves.
    • The POWER we have to make our lives amazing, how to do it, and why that's the best punishment for abusers anyways.
    • How a strong relationship with ourselves is key to healing, thriving, and deep peace (and how to begin developing that relationship).

    How Do I Support My Adult Children Who Grew Up in a Spiritually and Emotionally Abusive Home? [98] Dec 22, 2020
    Show notes

    I get so many questions from women in the Flying Free and Flying Higher programs related to parenting older, adult children who grew up in toxic homes. One of the most common? How do I support my aduilt children who grew up in an spiritually and emotionally abusive home?

    These relationships can be painful, tricky, and even traumatic because often the adult kids blame their mom either for getting out — or for not getting out soon enough. And that's just one of the complicated issues surrounding these relationships. So how can we approach our adult children in a way that shows them love and honor while maintaining our own self-respect?

    In this episode Becky and I discuss:

    • What some of the problems are in these relationships
    • Why these problems exist
    • What we CAN do in our relationships with our adult children
    • What we CAN'T do for our adult children
    • How we can manage our own minds through it all

    My Husband Changed After We Got Married [95] Dec 02, 2020
    Show notes

    My life had become a war zone. If there were red flags beforehand, I didn’t see them. I thought I was part of a fairy tale, a beautiful romance, a love story for the ages. My husband changed after we got married. I followed the script, I made all the effort, I took all the blame and responsibility. Nothing ever helped and nothing ever changed. Until I realized I could save myself.

    This is Barb’s story.

    Barb Spanier was married for 24 years and now helps others living in the same kind of hell she escaped. Her coaching practice, Integrative Coaching for Life, helps women live authentic, courageous lives no matter the struggles or circumstances they’re experiencing. She also works with Natalie to provide coaching in the Flying Higher program.

    Some great nuggets from today’s episode:

    • 4 key pieces of advice for anyone wanting/trying to get out of an abusive marriage
    • What a script is and how it can influence your decisions (for better or worse)

    Do Gender Roles Contribute to Emotional Abuse in the Home and Church? [93] Nov 17, 2020
    Show notes

    Lipstick on a pig: when you take something stinky, gross, even harmful, and try to repackage it as beautiful, desirable, and helpful. That’s complementarianism — the religious belief that women were created to be ruled over, to fulfill only certain roles, and made inherently less than the men, who have a god-given right to be their mini-lords. Gender roles contribute to emotional abuse in the home and church. The underlying belief system is anything but biblical. It’s ugly, and the root of incalculable harm in many women’s lives. Lipstick on a pig…and we’re calling it out.

    In this episode we talk about:

    • The origins of our modern day church perspective on gender roles
    • How egalitarianism is NOT a rejection of the Christian faith or gender differences
    • How that perspective contributes to emotional and spiritual abuse in churches/Christian homes
    • What you can do about it

    This episode stems as an answer to a listener question:

    “I am confused about the difference between egalitarian vs complementarian theories. I have always believed that God created men and women differently and that we have different roles we should play in marriage and the church, but I believe that the power over structure that I have always believed in greatly contributed to the emotional abuse I suffered in both my marriages.”
