Growing Up In Polygamy

Escaping Polygamy's Grip: From FLDS First Wife to Advocate Against Abuse | Charlene's Journey


Listen Later

Join us as we delve into the extraordinary life of Charlene, a woman who grew up in the complex world of polygamy, ultimately becoming the first wife of FLDS bishop, Lyle Jeffs. Her story is one of resilience, strength, and the pursuit of justice.

Charlene faced unimaginable challenges within her polygamous marriage, enduring persecution for daring to ask questions and challenge the status quo. Ignored by her husband and sent away from her children for seemingly trivial reasons, she found herself in a situation that demanded her to "repent" for hitting the snooze button on her alarm clock.
As she shares her remarkable journey, Charlene opens up about the hardships she endured within the FLDS community and her courageous decision to break free from the confines of polygamy. Today, she advocates against abuse and raises awareness about the dark realities hidden behind closed doors.
Discover the inspiring transformation of a woman who went from being a marginalized figure in a polygamous society to an empowered advocate for change. Learn more about her experiences, insights, and the motivation behind her new book, "Tell Your Heart to Beat Again."
