Description

My podcasts cover the same topics as my writing (Christianity, abuse recovery, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, etc.) and everything is from a Christian perspective. Some topics are repeated, because sharing new information and perspectives from a different angle can make it "click" sometimes where it didn't before. I try to add podcasts often, but due to health struggles, I'm not consistent. I periodically use voice cloner, so sometimes podcasts may sound kinda different. Sorry! Transcripts, articles, books and more are available on my website: https://www.CynthiaBaileyRug.com
