Angie shares her extraordinary journey from being born and raised in a polygamist fundamentalist Latter-day Saints cult to finding freedom and building a new life in the outside world.

• Born in a small FLDS community in Canada with minimal interaction with the outside world
• Pulled out of school at age 16 for cutting her hair, which was against religious rules
• Arranged marriage at 16 to a man she barely knew
• No access to basic education about history, science, or human relationships
• Describes the religious control through fear and shame – "we were God's chosen children"
• One uncle had 26 wives and over 150 biological children
• Left the religion as a teenager, losing all family and community connections
• Reconnected with her husband outside the religion and built a new life together
• Both pursued education – she now has a master's degree in nursing, he's a life flight helicopter pilot
• Focuses on "glimmers" – finding small moments of joy and gratitude as the opposite of triggers
• Breaking generational cycles by creating a safe environment for their children to question and challenge

You can find Angie on Instagram @angemfj and on TikTok @CadesBabe. She also runs a company called Glimmers focused on bringing joy through clothing she designed to spark happiness.
