Free Spirit Academy Podcast
Welcome to the Free Spirit Academy Podcast. Free Spirit Academy is about the freedom to be fully yourself - beyond any trauma, conditioning, or stories that told you who you had to be.
It’s about coming home to your body, and to yourself.
My name is Rande Moss. I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and I’m so grateful you’re here for these talks and conversations.

Coming Home to Yourself After Religious Trauma
If you’ve ever felt the lingering impact of religious trauma - especially from high-control, fear-based systems - this episode is for you. I’m sharing from my personal experience growing up in the Seventh-Day Adventist church, and exploring seven common factors that can create deep disconnection from your body, your needs, and your sense of self.
This episode touches on:
• Why trauma isn’t just about what happened, but how it lives in the body
• How messages like “you’re born sinful” or “don’t trust yourself” can shape self-worth
• The overlap between purity culture and disordered eating
• The importance of reconnecting with your body in healing
If any of this resonates, know you’re not broken - and you’re not alone.
🌿 The Free Spirit Academy membership is open this month! For $25/month, you’ll get access to every course inside. I recommend starting with Coming Home to Your Body - a 30-day exploration of trauma, the nervous system, and what it really means to feel safe being fully yourself.
