384. Tia Levings on Mothering I have been waiting years for this one. I met Tia in 2016 at BraveWriter homeschool conference. Since then our friendship has developed and I count her as a mentor in my circle of trust. I am so excited that this episode means her memoir is out in the world and it is a NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER. Purchase it here: https://a.co/d/2kkE7tK (affiliate link) Tia Levings grew up in a Southern Baptist megachurch, was recruited into fundamentalism by mentors following Bill Gothard's IBLP (Institute of Basic Life Principles), and eventually landed in a high control group (cult) that taught Federalist Marriage: the idea that husbands are responsible for their wives before God, and so are accountable to lead and discipline them as children. She was excommunicated and formally shunned in 2007 and narrowly escaped that violent marriage with her 4 children later that year. She started trauma therapy for CPTSD in 2008. Today she's an author & advocate who supports survivors of religious trauma and educates on the abuses in Christian Fundamentalism. Tia believes that how the fundamentalists run their homes is how they want run the country ––and that's why it's vital to understand what it's really like to live that way. https://www.instagram.com/tialevingswriter Facebook--Tia Levings The Anti-Fundamentalist | Tia Levings | Substack A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy.
