Vikki and Taniya take a step back after their heavy two-part series on corporal punishment for a raw, unscripted decompression session. The sisters unpack the emotional impact of re-listening to their own trauma, share a powerful and triggering listener story highlighting the link between physical abuse and sexual trauma, and examine the ways fundamentalist religious environments normalize violence against children under the guise of biblical discipline.

They also discuss practical cycle-breaking in parenting, unlearning spiritual bypassing, and how to rebuild a sense of purpose and community outside of the church.
