CALLING HOME with Whitney Goodman, LMFT · Sep 15, 2026 · 1h

Content warning: This episode contains descriptions of child abuse and corporal punishment.

Stephanie Warren was taught that her parents beating her was proof of their love, because in the fundamentalist Christian world she grew up in, that was what love was allowed to look like. She and Whitney talk through how her parents rationalized the abuse, why she eventually went no contact, and what it took to build a life and an education she was never supposed to have.
