Paul worked as a BYU-Idaho professor until a series of surgeries and health problems made him unable to work. The college then found a 'reason' to fire him to avoid continuing to pay his disability. He shares some of his stories of his time on campus as well as his experiences on a ward Bishopric and his ancestor's dealings with polygamy. We are so happy that Paul was willing to speak on some of these difficult things.

High Demand Religion teaches conflicting things about money. Are we "blessed" with money as a result of righteous living or is money the root of all evil? One way or another we are taught that our worthiness is somehow connected to how much or how little we have.

Perfectionism is something everyone faces in this superficial world. But if you were raised in a high-demand religion you faced perfectionism at a whole different level. Throw in a little purity culture and it's not hard to see why 40% of Utahns have anxiety or depression. Join Cat and Jayenna to hear their personal struggles with perfectionism and how they've worked to heal.

Leaving a High Demand Religion is a very painful loss. Not only are we losing the spiritual framework upon which we've built our lives, but there is also a loss of community, family and friends. Sometimes there is even a loss of career. It's a terrifying and intensely emotional experience for most individuals. Jayenna and Cat talk about the stages of grief in connection with their faith transitions out of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

If you come from a Mormon/Christian background you have heard of the "Holy Spirit" or "Holy Ghost" as a source of enlightenment, wisdom, peace and comfort. Cat and Jayenna take on this difficult topic by sharing their stories of hearing the 'still small voice' and comparing it with their journey to discovering their intuitive voice.
