Ever felt like you’re breaking some unspoken rule by choosing divorce—even though staying feels like losing yourself? As a Pastoral Chaplain, Amanda Williams understands the guilt, shame, and judgment that can come from a faith community that sees divorce as failure. But she’s here to talk about why that doesn’t have to be your story.In this real, raw conversation, a therapist and Amanda explore her own journey through divorce, the hidden struggles of being married in the military, and the harsh expectations to stay together “for the family” or “for the faith.” She gets honest about the pressure to choose a life partner because it’s “the right thing” to do, only to realize later that it might have been all wrong. Together, Amanda and Joselyn unpack the impact of religious beliefs on relationships, the power of boundaries, and why being “equally yoked” means so much more than just sharing a faith.For those who feel trapped between faith and freedom, Amanda’s story is a powerful reminder that your healing matters. This isn’t about abandoning your beliefs; it’s about finding the courage to rewrite what love, honor, and commitment look like—on your own terms. Join the conversation to discover that even through the pain of divorce, you’re not alone, and there’s a path forward that’s just as faithful as it is freeing.
