Mom, I left the church

by Leah Marie

Mom, I left the church is a raw, real, and sometimes hilarious look at life after Mormonism —from the perspective of a former good girl turned cycle-breaking, truth-telling, slightly sweary mom. Each episode dives into the messiness of faith deconstruction, generational trauma, mental health, motherhood, and what it means to rebuild your life on your own terms. Whether you’ve left a high-demand religion or you’re just trying to make peace with your past, this podcast is your permission slip to ask hard questions and say the things we weren’t allowed to say at the pulpit.
