#7985: Keeping it Real on Purpose is seeking Trauma and Recovery Experts

Is seeking guests who carry stories many people live with but rarely have language for.

These are high-functioning adults, caregivers, leaders, and truth-tellers who were shaped by emotional neglect, parentification, identity collapse, or moral injury—often without realizing it at the time. They are not here to perform healing or offer quick fixes, but to name what was missing, what was sacrificed, and what it cost to stay silent or survive systems that rewarded obedience over truth. These guests speak from lived experience and reflection, offering validation without blame, truth without rage, and wisdom without superiority. Their stories support integration—not motivation—giving listeners language, clarity, and permission to understand their own experiences more fully.

Keeping it Real on Purpose

Show Description: *

Keeping It Real on Purpose is a candid, trauma-informed talk show and podcast that creates space for honest conversations about life, healing, identity, faith, relationships, money, and personal growth—without performance, platitudes, or pressure to “have it all figured out.”

Hosted by Edna White, the show features authors, creatives, professionals, and everyday people who are willing to speak truthfully about their lived experiences and the lessons that shaped them. Guests share stories that bring language to what many people feel but struggle to name—whether that’s emotional trauma, spiritual harm, caregiving burnout, identity shifts, or the journey of rebuilding after loss, transition, or awakening.

Keeping It Real on Purpose is not about fixing people or selling inspiration. It’s about insight, reflection, and real conversation that leaves listeners feeling seen, grounded, and less alone. Authors and guests are invited to share both their work and the lived experiences behind it, offering thoughtful dialogue that resonates long after the episode ends.

If you have a story, message, or body of work rooted in truth, healing, growth, or conscious living—and you value meaningful conversation over soundbites—this is the space for you.

#7980: Unchurched seeks Authors & Truth Seekers

Is seeking bold, transparent guests for our 2026 season.

We’re looking for individuals who have left institutional religion, survived spiritual or church-based harm, or are actively deconstructing their faith and rebuilding their identity.

We welcome:
– Authors writing about deconstruction, spirituality, or healing
– Former pastors, ministers, PKs, or church leaders with a story
– Individuals who’ve walked away from toxic religious systems
– People ready to talk openly about liberation, truth, and the journey back to themselves

If you have a story that challenges tradition, exposes toxic culture, or inspires others to heal beyond religion — this conversation is for you.

Show Name: * Unchurched

Show Description: *

Unchurched: Where Truth Breaks Tradition is a bold, unfiltered conversation series that exposes the toxic roots of institutional religion through real stories from people who walked away, survived, or are actively deconstructing.
Each episode dives into the emotional, spiritual, and psychological impact of church culture — the silence, the shame, the manipulation, and the liberation that comes after.
Unchurched is a space for truth-tellers, faith-shifters, ex-members, and anyone rebuilding their identity outside of religious systems. If you’re ready to hear the stories no one talks about, this is where they live.
