Everyone deserves a safe space to heal and grow.
At beEmboldened, we know that healing from harmful religious experiences is not a quick fix—it’s a journey. Whether someone is just beginning to question what they were taught or is years into recovery, every step matters. And no one should have to take those steps alone.
That’s where you come in.
Your generosity makes it possible for people to access personalized support, education, and resources rooted in truth and compassion. By giving to beEmboldened, you become part of every story of courage, restoration, and freedom.
Whether you're able to give once, monthly, or through a legacy gift, every contribution moves this mission forward.
Breaking My Silence and Finding Purpose
"I know this betrayal firsthand. As a child, I lived in fear - of my father, of his abuse, of what I had been told about God, of having nowhere safe to turn for help or for truth. In my 20s, I finally understood the full truth: I had grown up in a polygamous, apocalyptic, doomsday cult.
I carried so many secrets within me, having been taught that keeping them was necessary to protect my family and honor God. The weight of those secrets was crushing, and the taste of freedom seemed like a distant dream I couldn't even imagine.
The journey toward healing felt impossible at first - I was trapped between continuing to live in fear or risking everything I'd ever known, including my own sense of reality. But step by step, I found my way forward.
Through my own healing journey, I discovered a profound truth: my suffering could serve a greater purpose. Today, I lead beEmboldened with a singular mission - to ensure no one else walks this path alone, as I did. Every survivor deserves to find their way back to trust, hope, and authentic faith."
