Exmormonology

So many stages of life after mormonism. The truth is, it is and always will be an on going journey. Being mormon was a part of you through and through, and because of that you have a lifetime of experiences to always remind you of the life you created as a latter day saint. And, part of your life journey post mormon, will be the pieces of the choices you made as a member. For me, it was standing out side of an LDS temple, while my son was getting married for time and all eternity. Here is part two of my son's temple wedding day.

Is your active mormon son or daughter getting married in the Mormon Temple and you can't be there because you left the church? Yeah, me too. Let's talk about how to manage your mind around this potentially emotional experience. When I left the church back in 2006, I knew that one day I may have to deal with this and now I am, tomorrow. I recorded this podcast last week discussing some of my thoughts and self coaching around this very happening. Exmormonology Ep. 46 is the story of my temple wedding back in 1990 and now my son's temple wedding in 2020.

Fear is a powerful feeling. It can consume us and keep us stuck in so many areas in our life. Religions, including Mormonism, use fear to keep people in line, in the boat, and doubting your doubts. You don't see this, until you see it. Let's talk about how we "feed the fear" with our looping thought patterns created from our ancestor's need to survive and our religious and social conditioning we are living, right now, in our lifetime. Let's dive into Exmormonology Ep. 45.

Someone asked me the other day, "Amy, what have you done with all of your mormon "things?" Garments, Temple Clothing, Scriptures, etc. etc. etc. Great question! I love this Q so much.

I want to share with you what I did/do, and I also want to know what you have done with your mormon paraphernalia?

In this episode of Exmormonology, let's talk about all of your options. We really do collect a lot of things over our lifetime of being mormon, don't we? It was our life AND our lifestyle, so it makes sense that we have some decisions to make with all the THINGS!

We have wrapped up the first year of The Exmormonology Podcast!!! Today is all about celebrating and reviewing all we have accomplished together over the course of the past year.

Were you triggered by your social media feed being inundated with #givethanks posts? It was a lot, wasn't it. Let's talk all about it in this week's Exmormonology Episode. I address a lot of the reasons why you were triggered, but also I am going to give you a little tough love. If you are a regular listener to Exmormonology it is because you are looking for ways to heal and not be so triggered, so this means you can handle a little tough love from me, your life coach. Let's dive in.

Time and time again we give our emotional power away every time someone says something that sends us over the edge, especially when going through a mormon faith crisis. In this episode of Exmormonology, I am going to tell you what is happening, what to do, and how to feel more empowered during and after your faith crisis. You are fully capable of growing stronger through this process. I believe in you. So, grab a pen and paper. You will need to take notes during this episode.

I was in a major car accident a few weeks ago. I have been recovering from a concussion. While I have had a lot of down time and very limited screen time, I have had a few thoughts (okay, a lot of thoughts) about my post mormon journey , my life and how life can change in an instant. I hope you tune in as this episode of Exmormonology is me being very human and vulnerable.

When you start down the yellow brick road of your inquiries into mormonism, you could never have imagined what was coming. AmIright?! As humans, we fear the unknown. We want and crave certainty. We probably do not even think about it much because we just assume we have a certain level of control over our lives. Nothing like a religious faith crisis to show you how much you want certainty in your life. Our brains hate uncertainty. We try to avoid it at all costs and we panic when we do not have it. Diving into all things uncertain in this weeks episode of Exmormonology.
