The Public Access Podcast 672 - Shannon Avery Briggs Shunned But Not Silenced

The Public Access Podcast 672 with Shannon Avery Briggs

On Episode 672 of The Public Access Podcast, Rusty Diamond sits down with Shannon Avery Briggs for a powerful conversation about leaving a high control religious organization and figuring out who you are when the world you knew starts falling apart.

Shannon shares what it was like to begin questioning teachings she had trusted for years, researching information she had been conditioned to fear, confronting shunning and disfellowshipping, and discovering just how much a person's family, friendships, work, community and identity can become intertwined with a religious organization.

The conversation moves through isolation, domestic violence, institutional control, fear, identity and the psychological earthquake that can happen when long held beliefs suddenly collapse.

Shannon compares the experience to The Truman Show. Once you recognize that the world around you isn't what you thought it was, you can't simply unsee it.

Then comes the bigger question.

What do you build in its place?

Shannon Avery Briggs, MBA, is a Certified Transformational Resilience Coach, Certified HeartMath Mentor, author of Triumph Over Darkness: My Journey, and cofounder of Luminous Connections LLC and The Exit Generation™.

Alongside her husband, John D. Briggs Jr., Shannon created EXIT PATHS™, a framework designed to help people move from identity loss toward a self led life. Together they also cohost Deservingly You.

This isn't just a story about getting out.

It's about figuring out who gets to write the next chapter once you're free.
