Perfectionism! Ewwww. You may not even think you are a perfectionist and I am going to show you how perfectionism masks itself as doubt and how it may be stopping you from achieving what you want in life. We have lots and lots of layers to work through leaving the faith. This week we dive into the perfectionism we were constantly striving for and never attaining. I tell you why this happens and exactly how you can become a recovering perfectionist, like me. Let's dive in.

This week let's get a little cheeky for our Irreverent Bonus Ep. of Exmormonology. Jim and I talk about all things, well at least a few things, Mormon Folklore. But in all actuality, it kind of all is, isn't it? We discuss, The Three Nephites, Cain being Big Foot, How to test a spirit, and the 1st Vision. Plus a few other tipsy wanderings that you don't want to miss.

Exmormonology Ep. 029 Your brain is the most powerful tool you have. Are you using it to your advantage or are you letting it run the show with no supervision? If you are serious about improving your exmormon mental health, have a listen. You are the boss of your brain, only you. No one else is responsible for what is going on up in the there, except for you. Spend some time mining around in there and see what is going on. You are worth the time. I give you concrete examples of what this looks like. This is your brain, this is your brain on exmormonism.

Exmormonology Ep. 28 We have been taught from a young age that we are responsible for other people's feelings, when in connection to something we have done or said. It can feel strange to learn that this is not true. People have thoughts and feelings based on their own life story and experiences. This week in Exmormonology let's talk about what I mean. Great nuggets are toward the end. Also, my new website is up! amyloganlife dot com.

Are you feeling exhausted from all things Post Mormon? Let's talk about why and how you can help reduce the tiredness you feel as you unravel your life. Your brain is working overtime trying to solve the puzzle of "WTF just happened." Join me for Ep. 27 of Exmormonology.

Your brain broke wide open during your faith crisis. You know how that felt, right? Let it break open again if you are new to racism. You know how to feel uncomfortable. You have done it, did it, as you process life after mormonism. Do it again with racism. If you are new to this work, pull the curtain back. Look. Be willing to see it all. This is one of the things I love so much about exmormons, we have felt betrayed by our religious past, this means you most likely want to see what other areas in your life you have not quite seen the full picture. Racism, for me, is one of those areas. How about you? Exmormonology Ep. 26.

Let's look at the foundational teachings from the Book of Mormon that includes racism. Yes, the mormon church has tried to lessen the teachings around "white and delightsome" and dark skin being a curse, but the truth of the matter is that this language is in the Book of Mormon. Let's talk about the how these teachings get into our psyche and influence our thoughts, feelings and actions around racism. Exmormonology Ep. 25.
