Heather Wells: Trustworthy

Published: Nov. 7, 2022, midnight

b'This week\\u2019s guest is Heather Wells, author of Trustworthy: A Journey from American Christianity to Freedom. Heather grew up in a happy Christian home, attending a variety of churches\\u2014from \\u201cWomen cannot wear pants,\\u201d to \\u201cThere are drums!\\u201d She married at eighteen and expected to have a similarly happy marriage as her parents, but no matter how hard she worked\\u2014both literally and metaphorically\\u2014that was not going to happen. Heather felt like a spectator, watching the men around her plan her life. It looks years of a one-sided marriage, churches refusing to help and zero answered prayers for Heather to realize she had to be her own savior. Once she had a well-paying job and more education, she no longer needed others to rescue her and her family. Heather now enjoys a life that is her own and no one else\\u2019s. She is the trustworthy one. She can look to herself\\u2014her own intuition, her own knowledge and education\\u2014for what is best for her. That is a sweet gift that no one can take from her.
