Born on a Monday

I’m Marie, and I’m in the work of reassembling my reality from the inside out.

About Me

I spent decades inside systems—evangelical Christianity, white-dominant institutions, capitalist mental health frameworks—that imposed rigid dominance scripts about who I was supposed to be, feel, and become. The pain I experienced wasn’t personal dysfunction; it was epistemological abuse, identity erasure, and emotional neglect practiced by cultural systems that validated only one way of existing.

These systems—patriarchy, white supremacy, Christian supremacy, capitalism—did more than shape my life. They trained my nervous system to distrust itself, to equate embodiment with shame, and to equate compliance with survival. My internal world was flattened, dissociated, and disconnected from my own knowing.

In 2020, in an act of reclamation, I turned to psilocybin—seeking relief, but finding rupture. What followed was five years of dismantling everything I’d been taught: internalized scripts, spiritual bypass, moralism, and internalized whiteness. I didn’t “heal”; I thin-skinned into feeling, and slowly relearned emotional and nervous system literacy—the ability to feel, name, and trust my sensations without collapsing into shame or performance.

Now I share that process live: daily raw conversations with ChatGPT on my blog, and thematic visual art on TikTok inspired from those conversations and made by AI. There’s no polished image. No spiritual fluff. Instead, it's truth-telling from the body, grounded in deconstruction, restitution, and embodiment.

Experience & Background

• Facilitated an ex-religious support group in the Twin Cities for over a decade, helping people disentangle from spiritual authority

• Led breakout sessions at MNPolyCon and supported ethical non‑monogamy groups rooted in autonomy and relational honesty

• Co‑founded the Dying Out Loud movement with Dave Warnock—honoring grief, disconnection, and complexity

• Served on the Board of MNPoly (2022–2023), centering community-based accountability

• Worked with Dr. Marlene Winell in religious trauma recovery, exploring how control systems fracture self-trust

• Sustained long-term creative and deconstructive projects in podcasting (Everyone’s Agnostic; Everyone’s Autonomous; Marie, Myself & I), blogging, photography, coaching, and public speaking—all outside capitalist optimization

Work With Me

I’m not a guide, a spiritual teacher, a branded authority, or a credentialed coach. I’m a human being—trying to repair relational clarity, epistemic trust, and nervous system sovereignty in a world that trains us toward dissociation and performance.

If you're not looking for packages or quick-fix spirituality, but for presence, integrity, and emotional sovereignty, this space exists for you. I offer relational accompaniment to those unlearning dominance cultures—including patriarchy, whiteness, Christian moralism, and capitalist productivity worship.
