What a moment. I was featured in The New York Times.
When this article came out, I had to go read it in a quiet corner. Thank you, David Marchese, for a beautiful story. Thank you, NYT, for this outrageous feature. I am honored and humbled.
We talked about the season when my life cracked open: my divorce, leaving the evangelical spotlight, the role of purity culture, and how I’ve been rebuilding identity, faith, and independence in midlife.
I shared the hard parts — the shock, the grief, the public scrutiny — and also the honest work of taking responsibility, healing codependency, and learning to live in my truth.
