In this episode of The Jaden Jeffs Podcast, I share my personal story of growing up in the hidden homes of the FLDS—what we called "houses of hiding." These places were tucked away in Colorado, Wyoming, and beyond. From beautiful mountain views to soul-crushing isolation, this is what it was really like to be sent away by Warren Jeffs.

Some moments were peaceful. Some were devastating. All of them shaped who I am.
