Episode 9
Spirituality or Religious Obedience? The Cost of Staying Silent
What if the rules you were taught to follow are the very things keeping you stuck, small, and silent?
In this raw and unapologetic episode, Mahima unpacks the deeply personal—and deeply political—cost of staying quiet.
From being raised Roman Catholic in Zimbabwe to confronting the shame, control, and “good girl” programming baked into both religion and culture, she brings the truth with fearless honesty.
This isn’t a takedown of faith.
It’s a wake-up call to question the stories we’ve inherited—about who we’re allowed to be, how we’re taught to love, and what we’re expected to stay silent about.
✨ Can you be spiritual without following a religion?
✨ What if your faith is rooted in shame, not love?
✨ And what happens when you finally tell the truth?
Mahima invites you to explore what it really means to express yourself authentically in a world that’s tried to mold you into something you’re not.
