The Resetter Podcast with Dr. Mindy Pelz

Why Women Were Taught to Distrust Themselves — And How to Take That Power Back with Meggan WattersonWhat if the reason you don't trust yourself was engineered centuries ago — on purpose? In this episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz sits down with feminist theologian and author Meggan Watterson to uncover the deliberate suppression of women's inner authority and what reclaiming it looks like right now. Meggan draws on 30 years of scholarship — including the long-buried Gospel of Mary and the Acts of Paul and Thecla — to show that the most powerful women in early Christianity weren't lost to history by accident. They were erased because their message was too dangerous: that the greatest power doesn't come from institutions, hierarchies, or external permission. It comes from within. In this conversation you'll learn: • Why women's self-doubt has roots in a 4th-century political decision • • What the Gospel of Mary teaches about the "spiritual eye of the heart" • • Why ending the war with your body is the first act of reclaiming your power • • Why rage is sacred — and why feeling it fully is healing • • What it means to "baptize yourself" in today's world • If you've ever felt unworthy, silenced, or too much — this episode is for you.
