Buckle in for this two part episode full of intense indoctrination! In part one, Lena and Meg sit down together and break down their patriarchal blessings; a sacred and secret customized blessing given from the Lord himself! We learn about the generic "blessings" bestowed to Meg if she is to be faithful to the church and talk about how none of it came to pass, even as an active member.

Part two of the Brad Wilcox rant, coming at you late but still relevant! Lena and Meg continue to discuss how problematic Wilcox's talk was. Not only because it was flat out racist, sexist, and way too gaslighty, but because the apology he's offered up since is complete bull s%$!
Brad Wilcox shit the bed this past week and mormons and ex-mormons alike are rightfully choosing to be offended. Come hang out with Lena and Meg as they unpack the shitty mess that was left for the victims of his spiritual abuse to clean! This is episode part one of two. The next episode should follow up soon, so be sure to like, subscribe, and follow for more!

Lena and Meg are back! Temples, triggers, and trailer parks... what topic wont they cover this week?!
**TRIGGER WARNING** I forgot to put something in the beginning of the video... We do discuss some gruesome things. I spare many details and show no images, but if these kind of things are not for you, we will see you on Friday!! If you happen to be a true crime fan or even just enjoy the scarier side of life during this time of year, you will probably dig this weeks bonus episode! Lena sits down and tells the strange and scary stories of bizarre and mormon criminals. We've got bank fraud, Captain Moroni, and the modern day Manson family, so get yourself in a cozy place because its about to get real nutso!
We are back this week with a special episode! Lena sits down with her husband Isaac and they share their mormon love story. They spill the tea on their first kiss and what it was like to hide their engagement for 10 days. Isaac talks about his experience getting endowed and we get a glimpse of the patriarchal grip! Together they underwent a faith crisis, dismantling gender roles, traditions, and even politics. Coming out stronger, happier, and way better looking, tune in to hear all about the tale of star-crossed apostates!
Jen left Mormonism and eloped, got a dog, and started a candle business with her nevermo and highly heathenous husband, Adri. Together, they run The ExMo Candle Co. After years of self-hatred on the altar of a religion that wasn’t actually being honest with her, Jen finds a huge amount of catharsis in pouring her issues with the church into a jar, and then lighting it on fire. Whether it’s the Licked Cupcake candle thumbing its nose at purity culture, or Lazy Learner embracing the insults coming from God’s loving mouthpiece, Jen and Adri’s hope is that each exmo candle will bring you strength and giggles, and a physical reminder that you’re not alone, as you strike that match and light up outer darkness.
