From Pulpit to Freedom with Bekah Slider

From Pulpit to Freedom with Bekah Slider

 

Welcome back to the podcast where we explore those powerful moments of transformation – the times when "not yet" finally shifts into "right now." In this episode, Jen sits down with Bekah Slider, a former pastor who has embraced a new path as a confidence coach, to discuss a deeply personal journey of shedding restrictive beliefs and stepping into authentic selfhood.

 

Bekah shares her experience of growing up in a strict religious environment, detailing the struggles she faced with faith and identity from an early age. The conversation delves into the complexities of transitioning into ministry and navigating marriage within that context. A significant turning point in Bekah's journey was the process of deconstructing her beliefs, described as "The Unraveling of Beliefs." This pivotal moment marked the beginning of her transformation, a common theme explored on the podcast.

 

One of the key themes discussed is how hypocrisy in religion can lead to deep personal struggles. The conversation also touches upon how environments with strict rules can often suppress qualities like empathy and intuition.

 

As Bekah embraced her authentic self, the episode explores her journey of exploring sexuality and finding personal freedom. Breaking free from societal norms was a significant step in this process. Bekah's transition to confidence coaching is also highlighted, demonstrating how she has channeled her experiences into helping others. The discussion emphasizes that confidence coaching helps individuals reconnect with their true selves.

Listening to one's body and intuition is highlighted as an important aspect of this journey. Ultimately, the conversation underscores that personal growth should feel like a joyful journey, not a burden, and that joy and passion are essential in entrepreneurship.
