If you’ve ever wrestled with Church history, felt overwhelmed by things you’ve read online, or questioned whether you even believe in God anymore, you are so not alone.In this episode, I talk with Austin Fife, author of the Light and Truth Letter. Back in 2014, after years of Church activity including serving a mission and marrying in the temple, Austin concluded that God wasn’t even real.But in an unexpected twist, the same questions that led him away eventually brought him back to God, to the Church, and to a deeper, stronger faith.

Higher Law, Fewer Checklists
Is Saturday really a special day? In this episode, my husband joins me as we take a closer look at some of the cultural habits we've picked up in the Church! Where they came from, whether they’re actually doctrinal, and how discipleship today is more about living higher laws than checking every box. It’s a conversation about judgment, personal revelation, and focusing more on Christ than culture.

Sex Ed For Mormons
In this episode, I’m joined by sex therapist Tammy Hill to answer your real questions about waiting for marriage, orgasms, masturbation, what’s actually off-limits, and how to raise kids who are both sexually pure and sex positive. I hope it brings clarity (and a little less shame) to this sacred part of life!

Healing After Sexual Assault
In this episode, a woman of our faith bravely shares her experience with sexual assault. We talk about how she’s worked through the betrayal, the reporting process, and what healing and forgiveness have looked like. My hope is that this episode reminds someone out there that there is hope—and you’re not alone.

No Secrets, Kinda Mormon, Some Wives (SLOMW S2)
Apparently MomTok is busy modernizing our faith and fighting the patriarchy; and I cannot look away. In this episode, we break down the wild claims made by the women of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and what they reveal (or sometimes misrepresent) about our faith. I’ll discuss patriarchy, submission to husbands, the doctrine behind temple sealings, and the all-too-familiar issue of slut-shaming in the Church. Let’s dive in!
Dive into the richness and complexity of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with Lauren Yarro. Through engaging discussions, I take on the taboo and address both the positive and negative aspects of our Mormon culture while firmly rooted in our shared beliefs of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
