Reinvention Room with Allison Hare

Cult of Perfection: Ruby Franke, Mormon Culture, and Non-Mormon Utah Life


Listen Later

This episode is a deep cultural exploration of Ruby Franke, the Mormon mommy vlogger whose shocking story of child abuse captivated—and horrified—the world. Joined by mental wellness coach and Utah resident (and non-Mormon) Janelle Devlin, we're unpacking the disturbing Hulu docuseries Devil in the Family, discussing perfectionism, the powerful draw of cults, and what life is like as an outsider in the heart of Mormon country. If you're fascinated by the intersections of faith, social media fame, and human psychology, this conversation is a must-listen.
