About us

The Honest Messy Life exists to help victims of spiritual abuse know they aren't alone. It's a space to talk about the things we were silenced about, and to move towards healing and rebuilding our faith in Christ.

I started The Honest Messy Life in October 2021, after being in a cult/ toxic church for nine years. My whole life was turned upside down and I needed the space to process what the heck just happened to me.

I began to make videos as a way to vent about my experience and pain with spiritual abuse, without bothering my friends and family on my personal social media.

The videos I would post began to resonate with many on the internet. I have continued to create videos as a way to process my experience, to let others know they aren't alone, and as a way to share my journey towards healing. 

I've come a long way in my healing journey - from being terrified to go into a Wal-Mart to now being enrolled to go back to school for Sociology so I can be better equipped to help those in these painful situations. 

My husband Derek has been a huge support during these two years (heck, he's the reason I left a cult!) and while we may not see him on screen very much he is a huge part of The Honest Messy Life even if it's more behind the scenes.

I look forward to continuing to serve this community.

 

So much hugs and love,
