If you have searched to understand loved ones who have left their religious faith, this show is for you. As a mother of six out of seven children who have chosen a different path from the one they were raised in, I intimately understand the profound struggle this journey entails.
On this compassionate exploration we share moments of laughter, tears, and resilience. Through insightful interviews, we unravel the personal struggles of individuals whose loved ones have ventured away from their initial beliefs, and how they emerged on the other side with newfound understanding and peace.

I started listening to this podcast to help with some breathing and emotional healing techniques. Wow! This podcast is so much more than the name. I’ve listened to several episodes so far today. I had to stop to implement some tools I learned. It’s so much good content. I’m going to binge the whole channel.
Shiree thanks for making this podcast. You’re a beautiful light. I love listening to your voice.
Sun Rainbow Bliss · Sep 2025
This is a fantastic podcast. Shiree’s weekly stories and experiences are meant to help us love those in our lives who have chosen a different faith journey than their parents or other loved ones, but I have learned so much about how to build good relationships with people even inside and outside of my own faith tradition. It is a pleasure to learn from Shiree and her guests. I highly recommend this podcast.
Booksnboys · Sep 2025
I love the guests and the stories and experiences that are shared. I feel it is what we all know but out of fear we don’t think clearly when having to deal with these situations. A pure reminder of changing our perspective, not acting out of fear but truly doing what Jesus Christ has taught us. Love. And show where happiness is… living the gospel of Jesus Christ and loving and welcoming those to join us.
Thanks for starting this podcast and spending your energy and time to help change hearts and perspectives. Grateful!

I remember many years ago, Shiree was my youth leader. One day I began crying and as a teenager I did not know why. Shiree was there for me. She became a safe place for me. I enjoy listening to this podcast because I can see that she is still a safe place for many friends.
