(00:00:15):

Hey, everyone.

(00:00:17):

So I thought I'd try going live on Substack.

(00:00:19):

This is a new thing.

(00:00:21):

And it is because I had something to share.

(00:00:24):

I can always feel the sweat beating on me because it's a very hot day here.

(00:00:30):

I'm sitting in my tram and hear the traffic going past on the main road.

(00:00:36):

And anyone that's read my story will know kind of who I am, maybe where I live.

(00:00:45):

I wanted to let you know that I'll be sharing a little bit more but

(00:00:51):

As I share and as I write the book Deep Dive,

(00:00:54):

which is completely fresh,

(00:00:58):

I know I've written a lot on The Willow Tree,

(00:01:00):

but this book will be a story told that will help hopefully make sense

(00:01:08):

consecutively as you read it,

(00:01:10):

but that will help you to understand if you're in a situation like we were in,

(00:01:15):

that

(00:01:17):

You can see the red flags.

(00:01:18):

It's very much just a look at our lives without me theologically talking about what

(00:01:27):

we went through.

(00:01:28):

I am not going through all of the whys because you can see it for yourself.

(00:01:38):

So the other thing I wanted to share is that while I have revealed my name,

(00:01:44):

and a little bit about who I am just on the website.

(00:01:49):

My name is Karen.

(00:01:51):

I am not planning in this to talk specifically about who the antagonist in our

(00:01:59):

story is or even the church's name.

(00:02:02):

Those of you who were there know, obviously, you were there.

(00:02:07):

And those of you who know me, I was there for 20 years, you're going to know where I'm from.

(00:02:14):

doesn't matter you know it's um what matters is that we can move through this we

(00:02:22):

can heal together and that people um you know on the other side of the world if

(00:02:26):

you're on the other side of the world to where we are here in Australia it just you

(00:02:32):

can read it and you can see your own situation in it and I think that's the big

(00:02:36):

thing that we've learned um

(00:02:38):

through all of this is just that it's so rampant,

(00:02:41):

this spiritual abuse,

(00:02:42):

this toxic system,

(00:02:45):

the power of the leaders,

(00:02:47):

the power of the system.

(00:02:49):

Still, I need a gun to pull after this.

(00:02:50):

Yes, I do.

(00:02:51):

It's like 34 today Celsius.

(00:02:52):

Yes.

(00:02:56):

to you guys that have joined love you guys thank you for your support um so yeah

(00:03:03):

i'll be sharing a little bit more this is just a rough kind of introduction

(00:03:07):

introductory life um and just to explain you know the purpose of the book is it is

(00:03:15):

um to help to assist to heal to um

(00:03:20):

give voice and to give voice for our own healing and others that are contributing to it.

(00:03:28):

There are a lot of voices that will be in it and that's really important because

(00:03:32):

it's all about pattern when it comes to this stuff.

(00:03:36):

It's all about pattern and you'll see the pattern in your own situations if it's toxic too.

(00:03:45):

I'm still writing.

(00:03:46):

It's not finished yet.

(00:03:48):

It's well on the way.

(00:03:49):

About 33,000 words now.

(00:03:52):

And I'll keep going.

(00:03:54):

My determination is to have it ready to launch on the 3rd of May,

(00:04:01):

2025,

(00:04:01):

which for anyone in our situation will know that that was Freedom Day.

(00:04:07):

For me, that was Freedom Day.

(00:04:09):

So, yeah, I'll keep you updated and thank you very much for joining me on this Substack Live.

(00:04:16):

Bye.
