Synopsis
The purpose of this podcast is to give those who transition out of Mormonism or other orthodox religions a space to discuss, process, share insights from and celebrate their journeys out of religious orthodoxy. During the series we interview a number of thoughtful, intelligent and really fun people about their journeys. Our stories are each unique, but our journeys are profoundly similar. Listener discretion is advised as we occasionally touch on very sensitive subjects. We hope you enjoy the program.
