Stories of Survival and Justice with Mary Byler
In this episode of The Awakening Podcast, we are honored to sit down with Mary Byler—author, advocate, and founder of The Misfit Amish. Mary shares her story of survival and resilience, as well as her passion for amplifying the voices of those who have been silenced within insular religious communities.
Mary is the author of Reflections and Memories of An Amish Misfit and Jezebel’s Justice. She also highlights the importance of survivor stories like Triumph and Survival by Kay Rose, reminding us that telling the truth is a powerful act of healing.
✨ This conversation is courageous, vulnerable, and full of hope for those reclaiming their stories.
