EP 19: Deconstructing Faith & Discovering the God Within with Viony Medlin

Viony Medlin is a Yoga Instructor, CrossFitter,  Mother,  wife to her best friend and sweetheart for over 17 years, and founder of Very Grateful Mind: a platform for helping people with their faith deconstruction through Yoga and reflection.

Viony’s story is one of so many people born and raised in a tightly knitted religious culture, but struggle to find resonance in the words, rules, and expectations of the community as they grow into their own identity and experience life’s initiations, like dating, marriage, death, choosing one’s career path, and raising a family. 

In this episode,  we dive into her struggles with the evangelical purity culture, facing challenges in her marriage, finding authenticity within her inner circle of friends, trusting her own body, and redefining her understanding of God and scripture. So as you tune in, you’ll discover how Viony’s spiritual awakening led her to her work as a wayshower in faith deconstruction through Yoga flow, community, and non-judgemental support.
