The purpose of this podcast is to talk about sensitive topics that people in the church don't always talk about in a way that empowers women while also letting them know God is still there with them.

Author Andrea M. Polnaszek explores the biblical narrative of Elijah through the lens of today. She is bold and honest about her journey while sharing her deep struggle to realize God as her only true protector and provider. Her candor surprises and delights the listener, inviting you to open your heart and explore your own story. Andrea reaches into her 20-year mental health background to include activities that allow the listener to wrestle with big ideas like: Who am I and where has the brook dried up?

Sorrowful widows, vengeful jezebels, innocent maidens, wronged lovers, former slaves, the odd axe-murderess—America's female ghosts differ widely in background, class, and circumstance. Yet one thing unites them: their ability to instill fascination and fear, long after death. Here are the stories behind some of the best-known among them, as well as the lesser-known—though no less powerful. A Haunted History of Invisible Women offers a unique lens on the role these ghostly legends play both within the spook-seeking corners of our minds and in the consciousness of a nation.

We often think of the enduring tropes of the Gothic in terms of fiction and film—breath-catching escapes that tap into our fears, anxieties, forbidden desires, and unsettling dreams. But what if some of these chilly vibes are rooted in the experiences of real and tragic people who danced a macabre waltz with love and death? That's why we're here. Take the case of teenage Mercy Brown, victim—or was it predator?—of Rhode Island's vampire hysteria of the 1890s. Marguerite de la Roque, a French noblewoman condemned for "sexual crimes" to Canada's long-lost Isle of Demons.
