What happens when faith becomes fear, and rules replace love? In this powerful conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with Michela Giordano Castro — Licensed Clinical Social Worker, trauma-informed therapist, and spirituality coach — to explore how people can heal religious trauma and rediscover authentic spirituality.

Raised in a strict Christian household, Michela shares her transformative journey: from missionary life in Italy, to her father’s crisis of faith, to her own decade-long disconnection from spirituality. Today, she helps others deconstruct toxic beliefs, reconnect with themselves, and cultivate what she calls “blisscipline” — discipline rooted in joy and self-love rather than shame.

💡 Top 3 Highlights:

1. 🌌 The difference between being religious and being spiritual.
2. 💖 How blisscipline transforms discipline from punishment into love.
3. 🔓 Practical tools for healing religious trauma and rebuilding trust in yourself.

This episode will inspire anyone seeking freedom from fear-based systems and longing for a spirituality grounded in peace, love, and joy.
