I felt like shamed for things that you should not feel shamed for, and so it was kind of like a realization to be like: wow, um, like I, I was just always told: don't do it, don't talk about it, don't ask about it, don't think about it, or else you know and like god will take those blessings away from you.
Imagine dedicating your entire life to a belief system, only to find that it fills you with doubt and shame. That's the story of Ali, who was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In this compelling episode, Ali opens up about her upbringing in the Mormon faith and the emotional turmoil it caused her.
From the outside, the church seemed like a close-knit community, but for Ali, it was a source of constant judgment and internal conflict. She shares how these feelings led her to question everything she had been taught. With raw honesty, Ali discusses the pivotal moments that made her realize she needed to leave the church to find true happiness. Her journey wasn't easy—leaving a religious community often means losing a sense of identity and facing strained relationships with loved ones.
But Ali's story is one of courage and self-discovery. She highlights the importance of listening to your inner voice, even when it goes against the grain. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt trapped by their upbringing or struggled with their faith. It's an inspiring conversation that encourages you to trust your intuition and seek your own path to happiness.
