In this episode, I explore Shari Franke’s book, The House of My Mother, where she shares her raw and heartbreaking experience growing up as the daughter of Ruby Franke—a YouTube star and an abusive mother. Shari’s story highlights how her mom used control and manipulation, often distorting simple LDS beliefs along the way. While most homes in our community are nothing like Ruby Franke’s, the reality is that some are. In my opinion, rather than dismiss these situations as outliers, it’s important to have conversations about them. By doing so, we can better understand how to prevent harmful teachings and foster healthy, Christ-centered homes and communities.
