In this vibrant (and final - at least for now) episode of the Naughty By Nature podcast, Treen talks about reclaiming spirituality after leaving Evangelicalism. Joined by Spiritual Director and Somatic Practitioner Hailey Mitsui, they engage in an honest conversation about how their relationship with the Christian faith evolved.

They reflect on what was comfortable and safe about Evangelicalism and what parts of themselves they had to suppress in order to belong. Actor and comedian Jordan Hull, plays God, and taps into themes of polyamory, sharing how embracing one's true identity can lead to spiritual freedom.

Hailey discusses how the Indigenous wisdom tradition of Christianity was co-opted by empire, and shares her intention to try and heal the harm it has done. Together, the three of them explore the duality of grief and liberation that accompanies spiritual development and the need to foster communities that acknowledge and embrace the whole person.

With laughter, vulnerability, and a spirit of curiosity, Episode 7 invites us to reexamine our beliefs, especially the Christian ones. Treen and Hailey emphasize the importance of integrating all aspects of the self in a journey toward wholeness.

In Episode 6 of the Naughty By Nature podcast, our host, Treen, unpacks the complexities of feminine identity within Christianity alongside Christina Tasooji, a women’s leadership coach and writer.

Together, they discuss the limiting religious stories that shaped their views of women and explore how the absence of feminine representation in the church impacted their development and confidence.

This episode features Shahbano Farid, who plays God, bringing a fresh perspective on how women are regarded in Islam. Her insights serve as a powerful balm for both Treen and Christina. Together, they dig into the importance of reclaiming influential female figures like Mary Magdalene and Lilith who challenge the traditional narratives that have long oppressed the feminine.

Christina reflects on her journey to reconnect with the divine feminine, highlighting how embracing her body's rhythms and wisdom played a vital role in her spiritual awakening. They both emphasize the revolutionary potential of the divine feminine as a source of life and creation, advocating for a spiritual landscape where both masculine and feminine energies can coexist and thrive.

Filled with humor, vulnerability, and lasting spiritual insights, this episode invites you to reexamine your perceptions of femininity, identity, and spirituality. It’s a heartfelt call to embrace the wholeness of the divine, reclaim and perhaps change the narrative you grew up with, and to honor the sacredness of both the masculine and feminine within us all!

In this spirited episode of the Naughty By Nature podcast, Treen gets cozy with therapist, death doula and good friend Caroline Lee to explore the messy, beautiful, and taboo world of Christian divorce. They laugh, cry, and maybe even question their life choices, all while comparing divorce to the dying process.

Caroline opens up about getting hitched at the ripe age of nineteen, under the watchful eyes of purity culture and familial expectations, while Treen reflects on what commitment really requires. Together, they unveil the societal stigma surrounding divorce and how it can turn friendships into ghost towns.

With a dousing of humor from guest comedian Raven Daley as God, this episode challenges the myth that enduring unhappiness is somehow virtuous. Instead, they cheer on the glorious messiness of reclaiming your identity post-breakup.

So grab your favorite beverage and settle in for a heartfelt chat that’s equal parts hilarious and enlightening, proving that there’s life (and laughter) after love - and maybe even a little divine intervention along the way!
