The Good Girl's Guide to
Healing From Religious Harm
a 4 week self-led course
Hey, Good Girl!
Did high demand religion train you to:
Not trust yourself because you're sinful
Abandon yourself so much you are lost
Seek perfection to your own detriment
Put others ahead of yourself, always
You are not alone!
It makes sense why you don't know who you are now.
These are the collective starting points we hear daily from all of our clients:
"There was so much inward hatred and disconnect from what I felt and what I knew [after I left high demand religion]." -Roxanne
"[Leaving high demand religion] left me completely overcome with big emotions to the point of not being able to function." -Bekah
"I navigated life with an overwhelming sense of disconnect... because I was never able to explore ME." -Emily
"I had no idea who I was (after leaving) or who I wanted to be - and no way to figure it out. I felt stalled and overwhelmed." -Jaime
We've been there, too.
Hi! We're Cara + Rachael
We have been M.A. certified coaches for 17 years, specializing in faith transitions. We have worked 1,000s of hours extensively coaching women who were programmed to be “good girls” in religious environments and have taught them the tools to recover from their religious harm.
We can help you too!
But this in not where we started. Both of us were former pastors in the Evangelical church for a decade. We left everything behind many years ago in our late 20s, one of the most difficult experiences of our lives. We navigated those deconstruction waters alone and always wished there had been resources to help.
That's why we created:
After years of working with 100s of recovering religious good girls (not to mention that this was our story as well), we began to see repetitve themes in our clients. So...
We took those universal themes and created this course to help YOU!
The Good Girl's Guide helps you answer the questions: "Who am I now? Will I ever feel free again? How can I get unstuck?" as you are on the path of healing from religious harm.
This course is more than just healing religious harm.
It's about:
Stopping the self-blame cycle that says YOU are the problem
Taking back your personal power that religion stole from you
Living from your most authentic, meet-your-own-needs self
Empowering yourself by learning to actually trust yourself

WHAT THEY NOW SAY:
"Y'all have made such an impact on my life! Would not be as free as I am today if it weren't for your work. The journey is so much lighter and it's a different world to where I was a year ago. I have both of you to thank for that!" - Roxanne
"I really can’t express how much these tools have been helping me. I feel like I can cope in a way I’ve never been able to before. So grateful to you, Cara + Rachael. It has seriously changed my life!" -Bekah
"I am so thankful for [your work]; it has seriously changed my life! Even in my wildest dreams I couldn't have imagined the change & growth I've experienced. Thank you so much for your work!" -Emily
"Because of you both, I learned how to ask questions and to learn to listen to myself. You two taught me to dig deeper, be curious and kind to myself. I now know who I am because of it." -Jaime
"[Being a part of HWU] was the most impactful decision of my year. I was able to give myself permission to just BE, as is, each day--rather than wait to for a more perfect version of me to feel worth or good enough. I recommend this for anyone seeking support, rest, and joy in their religious recovery journey." -Brook
"I was so impressed with this course (Happy Whole U) and so deeply grateful for all the work that went into creating the program. I learned so much and felt seen. I will use the tools I learned from the class for the rest of my life. This is such a special space and I'm really thankful to have been a part of it." -Beth
"I am much more aware of my triggers and their origin, which has been really helpful in learning how to communicate that in my marriage and in parenting. I have much more grace for myself and no longer see myself as broken but rather, just human." -Lynette
