What happens when women dare to question the systems designed to keep them small? Julianna Glasse knows firsthand. Once a Christian pop singer at the center of evangelical culture, she walked away from it all after realizing the cost of her silence and submission. When a man in her church sneered, “This is what happens when women read,” Julianna turned that insult into a global movement to reclaim the inherent worth of women and dismantle the internalized fear and shame that keeps them trapped.But her story isn’t just about leaving religion. It’s about what every woman faces when she decides her worth isn’t defined by anyone else. It’s about courage, liberation, and the radical act of self-actualization.Key Takeaways:<ul><li><li>Women who refuse silence change everything</li></li><li><li>Autonomy is non-negotiable</li></li><li><li>Systems built on control crumble when women rise</li></li><li><li>Oppression wears many faces</li></li><li><li>When one woman rises, she gives others the courage to do the same</li></li></ul>Learn More About Julianna:Website: <a href="http://thisiswhathappenswhenwomenread.org/">thisiswhathappenswhenwomenread.org</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/juliannaglasse/?hl=en">@juliannaglasse</a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/julianna-glasse-233167269/">Julianna Glasse</a>About Our Guest:Julianna Glasse is a dynamic thought leader, and the Founder and CEO of This Is What Happens When Women Read, a global initiative advancing women’s liberation through education and safe community.
