Post Mormon Peace is a podcast dedicated to bridging the gap between those who stay and those who leave. Through thoughtful, respectful conversations, we sit down with both believing and non-believing guests to explore their experiences, challenges, and perspectives. This isn’t about debating who’s right or wrong—it’s about listening, understanding, and finding common ground.
Faith transitions, whether personal or within families, can create tension. But at the heart of it all, relationships matter more than beliefs. Our goal is to create a space where open dialogue can thrive, where differences don’t have to mean division, and where mutual respect leads to deeper connection.
Wherever you stand on faith, you’re welcome here.

Parenting Without Pressure: Love, Trust, and Letting Go (Part 2 with Ashlyn)
In this heartfelt follow-up episode, Derek sits down once again with his teenage daughter, Ashlyn, for an open conversation about how parenting in their family has evolved—especially since leaving the Mormon church.
They explore the transformation from a model of correction and control to one centered on love, trust, open communication, and emotional freedom. Derek shares insights from working with coach Steve Hardison and discusses how one powerful shift in focus—“my sole and primary purpose as a parent is to love and accept my children”—has changed everything.
Ashlyn brings her honest, thoughtful perspective as she reflects on what it’s like being parented in this environment of emotional safety. From decision-making and self-criticism to arguments with siblings and the importance of feeling heard, Ashlyn offers a wise and articulate voice of her own growth and the strength of their evolving family dynamic.
