It’s not easy to divulge your deepest darkest secrets, but it’s the only way to fully heal from the past. . In this weeks podcast I shared it ALL! Things that I never told Sean until just recently. . What I’ve discovered by finally getting it out, was not feelings of shame and unworthiness, rather a liberation and power that I never knew existed. . I’m realizing that the only way to release the deep seated shame and guilt that many of us carry is to SHARE our story. . . Like @seanesco says, “these secrets are like a sliver. If we don’t get it out, it begins to fester over time. It will continue to cause you pain and discomfort unless you remove the sliver from the body.”

@jamieeshores - “My husband was a member all his life, I was a convert. We were orthodox Mormon for 15 years of our marriage. We have five kids that were all raised in the church. Church was our lives. Everything in our lives revolved around the church and its teachings, trying to raise righteous children and make it to the celestial kingdom the best way we knew how. • About 2 months ago, my husband and I went through an all out faith crisis and consequent separation from the church. For me it was a long time coming. I had questioned things for years and pushed those questions and doubts aside. I knew if I said anything, my life would drastically change. Maybe I should have told my husband but I knew if I did it could've meant the end of everything. I decided to suppress it, which made our marriage suffer. We fought. We fought so much because I was always mad or upset about something church related and I felt like we were on different planets from one another. It was hard. In reality I really don’t think we would’ve made it much longer. • Fast forward to December of 2018. My husband came to me and told me after he had done some research on a picture in the book of Abraham and reading the CES letter that he had lost his testimony of the church entirely. Unbeknownst to me. That moment was one I will never forget. While we knew it was a long journey ahead and were scared, we both had the biggest sigh of relief. We instantly felt this change in our marriage and life. Something clicked. We no longer felt like we were on opposite poles of the earth struggling to make things work. We were a united front and could take on any and everything that came at us... • [Continued in comments]

@sessafresh - “At BYU I would walk past the Provo temple nightly wondering if I should just end it all. You see, being a gay girl at BYU in 1999 was still super scary. In the twenty years since, I have removed my name off the records while simultaneously loving my Mormon family members even harder. Finding myself as a person led to finding my soulmate, Kate. She and I just moved from Salt Lake to Los Angeles to pursue our music dreams (we are a band as well). I used to find myself constantly arguing with my reality—that only led to the vicious cycle of pain. Now that I feel unfettered and utterly in love I see my LDS family members being more supportive than ever. Yes, my wife is an Army helicopter pilot and sings like an angel. But what my family sees and respects most is her kind heart. Post-Mormon me understands true kindness more than I ever did as a believer. It really can ‘get better.’”

: @enofsinger @jameyln “It’s been important for the people we love to understand that we haven’t left our faith because of a desire to sin. I was guilty of making such quick judgements of people who preceded us in this journey. It has been a grieving process not unlike a death of a family member. However, I couldn’t continue to look past the inaccuracies taught in the narrative we get from church. - Today - my boys are free to learn without crippling guilt and able to accept others without judgmental distain. Without hesitation, we can say we have never been happier! - ‘The truth shall set you free!’”

I Iove this man so much! He just posted the most beautiful tribute on @lifestyle.aftermormonism that brought me to tears. Go follow @seanesco! He’s always so open and honest about everything we are going through. More brave than I am that’s for sure. I feel like I can be open about things on my podcast, but for some reason I’m a little gun shy on Instagram. Probably because the more open and authentic I became, the more I seemed to upset people and they weren’t afraid to bash me with hurtful comments. One thing I would like to remind people of is, this is OUR story, our life, and our platforms. Everyone deserves space to “testify” and speak THEIR truth. If you disagree, that’s totally fine, just don’t take it personal. We all get to choose the beliefs that help us live a happier, healthy life. P.S. We have a new podcast up. Episode 55.

@ainhiki - “Leaving the Mormon church was the hardest thing of my life. Not knowing who I was without it was a rediscovery of myself. A reconstruction. Difficult process, but made easy with my also exmormon husband. We are in love and we're each other's biggest support. We have never been this happy!”

@kbbaby43 - “I feel it’s important to share that in no way, did I chose this direction in my life because it was, the often mentioned, ’easy way.’ Nor did I choose to leave because of my desire to ‘sin,’ despite what is echoed throughout church teachings about those who leave. No part of my transition was easy. At all. And those so-called ‘sins’ in my life, such as coffee, alcohol, enjoying a second Saturday, or wearing sleeveless clothing, didn’t even enter my mind until after I no longer believed. I chose to leave because my own core beliefs no longer aligned with Mormon beliefs. • With that being said, I want church members and those who are in the process of transitioning to hear loud and clear that happiness does exist outside the church. True and everlasting happiness, not ‘false’ happiness and certainly not sorrow. It was a huge surprise to me when feelings of relief and joy overtook my life, after letting go. I never expected to find a truer version of myself after I chose to leave but I feel I finally have. I didn’t expect my self worth and self confidence to so dramatically increase but it did. There is nothing about my life after leaving that I could have predicted because I had never been on the other side. • Today, I am so glad and proud that I chose to take the leap. Luckily, the love of my life chose to take the leap with me and we’ve never been happier or felt more connected and more free than we do now. Life still has very hard and real moments, but I feel we are finally able to live completely in our moments (good and bad) instead of just feeling like we are always enduring through them. No one knows for certain whether or not there is an afterlife, despite threats that might be placed on us out of fear. Wouldn’t it be healthier and more enriching to center our energy, love, and efforts around the moments and relationships that are gifted to us in this life?”
