How do you raise children with love when you were raised with fear?
In this episode of Slutty Grace, Jeromy Johnson talks with Nadyia Horning—a mother, advocate, and survivor of fundamentalist religion—about what it means to break the generational chains of fear and raise children with love instead of control.
Nadyia shares her story of growing up in an Independent Fundamental Baptist home marked by performance, punishment, and perfectionism—and how she’s rewriting that story through gentleness, connection, and grace. Together they explore parenting after religious trauma, reparenting the child within, and learning to trust the voice inside that says love doesn’t have to hurt to be holy.
If you’ve ever struggled to parent differently than you were raised, or to believe that grace belongs in the messiest parts of family life, this conversation will remind you that healing is possible—and that the story can begin again with you.
