Ep. 154. In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Britton and Carolee Beckham as we dive deep into their healing journey after leaving the Mormon Church. We talk about what happens when the foundation of your identity: faith, marriage, even your sense of self, is shaken by infidelity and cracked open by spiritual awakening.
Britton and Carolee share their raw, honest path of deconstructing religious programming, redefining their relationship, and embracing sacred sex, embodiment, and ritual as tools for transformation. We talk about the role of forgiveness, the power of manifestation through sexual energy, and how moon rituals and astrology became spiritual anchors after religion.
This episode is full of truth-telling — about love, shame, and sovereignty. It's a story of how they chose to heal, not just individually, but as a couple. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your inner truth or struggled with sexuality and spirituality in a world of rigid doctrine, this one will resonate deeply.
Topics we explore:
Life inside and after the Mormon Church
How infidelity became a catalyst for self-discovery
The role of sacred sexuality in their healing journey
Forgiveness as a spiritual practice
Sexuality as a path to embodiment and sovereignty
Manifestation through sexual energy
Moon rituals, astrology, and reclaiming spiritual power
Bio
Britton and Carolee Beckham, raised in the strict dogma of the Mormon church, and with infidelity threatening their marriage and family, found themselves at a cliff’s edge. Through a deep commitment to heal, these two left everything they knew to find themselves. Over five years, they rebooted their relationship and travelled the world seeking their truth with four kids in tow. They have emerged on the other side as an embodied and awakened couple with a powerful message to share.
