For Nikki and Ceci, leaving the FLDS meant stepping into a world that was both freeing and overwhelming. In this episode, they share what it was like to make their very first choices, from watching movies to navigating jobs, relationships, and independence.

They open up about the gaps in sex education, the ways they coped through parties and drinking, and the struggles of working for others after a lifetime of strict rules. Along the way, therapy, parenting, and self employment became turning points in building a new life.

Listener questions guide the conversation as Nikki and Ceci reflect on the messy, beautiful, and ongoing process of healing, rebuilding, and learning to trust again after heartbreak.
