Welcome to Healed-ish! A podcast about the messy, beautiful, and sometimes insane process of healing. Each week, host Jubilee Dawn (@jubileedawns) sits down with survivors of betrayal, religious trauma, catfishing, toxic relationships, and more to unpack the chaos and growth that comes with starting over. These are the stories people don’t always tell — honest, raw, a little funny, and fully human.

Content warning: This episode contains discussions of abuse, self harm, and suicidal ideation. Mia was born and raised in the LDS church. As a child, she experienced sexual abuse that deeply impacted her mental health and sense of safety. As she struggled with self harm, an eating disorder, and thoughts of ending her life, her bishop referred her to a therapist she was told she could trust. She saw him for nine years. What began as therapy slowly turned into something else. He told her she was being oppressed by a demon and that he needed to help set her free. Over time, the sessions escalated into physical abuse, including suffocation and injury, all under the guise of helping her. Mia saw him daily and was in constant contact with him, believing he was the only one who could help her. Mia eventually told a friend and reported him, beginning a long and painful fight for justice. Her case was later covered by Rolling Stone. Today, Mia has built a safe and healthy life for herself. After everything she endured, she is now in a loving relationship and preparing to get married. Her story is one of survival, truth, and resilience.
