CW: SA, abuse, loss, trauma\nWhat happens when the doctrines of faith and control intersect with a woman's autonomy? In this episode, I sat down with Tia Levings, author of the powerful memoir \u201cA Well-Trained Wife,\u201d and her story will leave you speechless. Tia dives deep into her experience growing up in and escaping from Christian fundamentalism and the trad wife movement\u2014 before it was even called that. We talk about how patriarchal control impacts women financially, emotionally, and physically, and how that same mindset influences the political movements we're seeing today. If you've ever wondered how personal freedom intersects with religion, politics, and financial independence, this is the episode for you.\xa0\nRead transcripts, learn more about our guests and sponsors, and get more resources at https://herfirst100k.com/financial-feminist-show-notes/189-escaping-tradwife-cults-and-christian-patriarchy-with-tia-levings/\n\nTia\u2019s Links:\nWebsite: www.tialevings.com\nGet Tia\u2019s book \u201cA Well-Trained Wife\u201d\n\nNot sure where to start on your financial journey?
