Colleen Is All Alone - RELAX #31

[@MsNikk5]

I would actually love to see Erik and Kory, weirdly enough. We never get to see them interact at all! I would love to see how their dynamic is. Also maybe a who knows me best with Erik, Colleen, and kory in case the alone podcast would be too awkward lol.

I’ve actually always wondered how your parents feel about your thoughts on religion now. They’ve always been so accepting on Kory and now Rachel. And that can’t always be the said about religious people their age. But it’s a super personal question so I don’t actually expect an answer. 😂

[@neci596]

On the religion topic, it makes so much sense that different people respond differently to religion and church because it's ran and fueled by humans. People are so different and their experiences and brains can cause them to interpret, share, and internalize religious teachings differently. I'm coming from the perspective of a former campus missionary who is now in a stage of questioning.

[@hannahpost1040]

Why am I getting so frustrated when this isn't even my air conditioning unit....? Lol. Also, the box you're talking about is the electrical panel and circuit breakers are the switches that are inside. Additionally, welding a piece to your unit sounds super fishy. I hope it gets better!

Colleen, you are absolutely allowed to feel that religion is beautiful on one hand but on the other hand feel the all consuming emotions that have carried pain for you. The self-awareness, bravery, and authenticity that you have exemplified is so moving. I guarantee you that you are not alone in having these feelings around religion. Thank you for sharing - you deciding to open up about the good and bad experiences around religion in itself shows your growth. I am unbelievably proud of you!!

[@HigherHeartWarriorChannel]

Oh Colleen, I just want you to feel the love I’m sending you! I can totally relate to your experience with religion. I was raised Muslim and strictly so. I too have been diagnosed with ADHD since I was 21, an issue with compassionate self talk and have also had experiences with beings that weren’t positive. All I can say is thank you for being brave enough to speak your truth and for being authentically you. Sending so much love and hugs from NJ!!🦋🧿💖

[@kalu_1027]

Something I've recently learned about religion based on Colleen's experience and even my own is that religion isn't really the problem, it's the way people interpret it. In my case, some family members thought/think that religion is their whole world, which its ok but to an extent, that they pushed family and everyone away

[@laConaLuna]

I 100% agree with this!

[@wearywhisk]

i agree! also it’s how people interpret the bible, like how some people take every word very seriously and literally while others kinda just use it to guide them and they ‘modernize’ the bible a bit if that makes sense

Wonderful episode, Colleen. I just want to say I’m sorry that you didn’t have the best church experience and that it affected you so negatively mentally. Please know you are loved and accepted just the way you are and you are worthy. Love the podcast!

[@TheMysteriousSealSan]

I LOVE how you approached the religion conversation Colleen! I myself am a Christian, I’m also gay so my life has had a lot of turmoil to say the least. I think the biggest thing that allowed me to be true to who I am and love who I want to love, while also remaining a strong believer in my own personal idea of Christianity is that my parents very actively and appropriately responded to injustice WITHIN the church, and if we went home they would share with me how they disagreed with certain things. I wasn’t necessarily in this bubble of only one way of thinking, but I heard a variety of opinions. My parents love and accept me, did not teach me that being gay was a sin, nor do they believe that to be true. So when things like that came up at school or church, I had learned to take that information and to critique it just like we do with everything else. I’m very very lucky that was my experience as I know others are not so lucky. But I have, and always will acknowledge that Christianity specifically has caused IMMENSE hurt in this world and I refuse to be a part of that hurt

[@Ell_Bell05]

I appreciate Colleen opening up about her past because so many people have similar experiences, including myself. More people than I think anyone really knows because of how strong cancel culture can be if you speak out about [any] church. We hear a lot about how religion does wonders for people, but it can also be really damaging for others. It's also important to note that there isn't anything current followers can do to undo another's past trauma.

[@7icanonlyimagine]

Please don't take this the wrong way Colleen or readers of comments. This has been one of my favorite podcasts because you went deeper and more personal. Talking about your therapy session and being vulnerable is so admirable. Thank you Colleen for this podcast. Cant wait to hear Eriks solo one haha love ya

It’s also soo unbelievably maddening when they say something like “oh the sky is so bipolar” or things like that, as I’m diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

You did so well! While I missed Erik, it was still very interesting. The law thing was so funny! You should do it again with Erik there because I think he would have some great input. And you guys could try to come up with the scenarios that led to the laws! I'm giggling (and getting mad) alongside you! I have a sad feeling that the "ugly" people they wanted to remove might have been you know... people of other races... disabled people etc... you know.. "undesirables" they didn't want to see... If you need time off from the podcast and Erik doesn't want to do it alone, I personally would love an episode with him and Gwen! An episode with them would be so interesting! I must say that in this whole episode I've not heard one controversial thing. And as another person with very complicated experiences and thoughts around my religious experience, it helps to hear you process yours. Sorry for the long ramble!

[@AlexisAmezquita]

It was so interesting to hear your church/faith experience. I grew up in church as well and while that wasn’t my experience, I can totally see how the message could be interpreted that way. I’m so sorry you experienced that and I’m glad you’re on the journey towards healing

I agree, Kory would be so fun to watch on here too! In response to the bit where you discussed religion: I love Jesus and I’m really involved in my church! A relationship with God has completely changed my life for the better. I wasn’t raised in church, I discovered it on my own when I was a junior in high school. I experienced a huge boost in my self esteem and have been taught grace and love over condemnation and shame. Being part of my church, I’m surrounded by people who I don’t feel like I have to “perform” for and I know I can always turn to when I need support. But I do understand why you feel the way you feel Colleen! Like you said, every church is different and people experience things differently. I’m so sorry you feel the way you feel and I’m praying that therapy continues to help you unlearn those things. Much love!

So many times I wish I could just help.... baby sit Flynn so you could rest or give you words of comfort etc Sorry this probably sounds super creepy but honestly you're just such a light and seeing you struggling is so horrible because in a world of selfish people who seem to get such an easy ride it's always the purest of hearts that seem to be burdened the most.

[@juliakorenberg]

I sooo recognize that the message the church sent out, can mess you up as a child. My little brain was always so honestly confused and sad because of these messages of nobody being good enough. It was so different from the world view I naturally have. And I tried so hard to understand the churches perspective but I could NOT make it fit my brain. And I always thought that made me a horrible person. It made me such a scared kid, afraid of doing everything wrong in Gods eyes. It just turned me from being a really happy little nugget to being so confused and sad about the world and myself. That's not worth it!!! You're not alone in this

[@juliakorenberg]

Also, I reaaaaalllly did not want Jesus to come back and take us all to a place where the people seem to live who love the idea of everybody being undeserving shit? All I thought was please don't separate me from my family. It was not a good time

The San Francisco ugly law was an ableist law to keep disabled people off the streets. Wikipedia says that it was “illegal for "any person, who is diseased, maimed, mutilated or deformed in any way, so as to be an unsightly or disgusting object, to expose himself or herself to public view." I, myself, am a disabled person, and learning how deeply ingrained ableism is in our laws and society is quite frankly disgusting.

I was raised without religion (not intentionally, my parents just weren't religious) but I grew up in a very conservative town. I feel like a lot of the religious kids I grew up with were of two extremes: 1) Became resentful of religion and left or 2) Became more heavily involved than they were before. On one hand, one of my best friends is going through a lot of religious trauma while another person I know is famous on TikTok for religious content.

And that way the company your using is generally a more reputable because they want the contracts through insurance companies. Hope you see this comment and it helps.

Colleen, we have so much in common. I grow up in a Catholic home and I feel exactly how you feel. But the good part is that I was able to take all the good aspect from it like the spiritual side and used that to help. You are the best!

The air conditioning story !?! my jaw is on the floor. You guys were being so nice and understanding about it, idk if I would have had the patience

[@sarahlynnadkins9581]

Colleen i LOVED this solo podcast, like someone said a super long tiny tortilla talk c: I'm also glad you talked about your religious experience, my childhood religious experiences were shockingly similar. Appreciate you opening up, love you ❤

[@cassy2789]

Oh no you guys got scammed, if only my husband and I didn't live in Az we'd fix it for free if not free then cost of whatever piece that needs fixed/replaced. I hate that companies take advantage of families, it's NOT okay.

Thank you for discussing the harm that those religious messages can inflict on a child. I had a very similar experience and have now developed borderline personality disorder, which I attribute a lot to my religious upbringing.

Also, you don’t have to blame yourself for “taking it that way.” Telling young children that they are inherently bad IS harmful. You were a child. Caregivers should not say anything to children that could be interpreted in that way. You would never tell Flynn that he is inherently bad or undeserving of love. Sure, religion can be helpful for some people, but a lot of American Christianity includes self-deprecation and self-hatred starting from a very young age. It’s not your fault that you were harmed by those messages.

A house coat is a bath robe! I wish Erik was there to see of he thought it was an east coast thing. I'm from the east coast and we call it a house coat or a robe. It's the same thing. Also salt on the roads ruin vehicles over time they rust out badly. Maybe that's why?

[@jess_k6281]

i live in va and i’ve never heard of it being called a house coat. i’ve always called it a robe

[@BeccaReevesXX]

@@jess_k6281 I live in Maine. Maybe it's a new England thing? Or maybe my family is just weird...maybe both? Lol

Love you Colleen!!! You were built for this, I agree💝☀️

When you speak about your experience in the church, I think it is important that you speak your truth on this. People have to understand that it is possible that someone could feel this way. Because even though I personally didn’t feel this way, I KNOW that you are not and will not be the only one to think this way…. Thank you Colleen so much for talking about it
