The Wise Jezebels

The One Where We Talk About…Sweet Jilly Muffin Finding her Voice


Listen Later

Jill Duggar Dillard's Counting the Cost tops off our second episode, as we deep dive into our impressions, triggers and takeaways. Jill's memoir is not only the story of how Sweet Jilly Muffin found her voice against the IBLP and her exploitive, oppressive parents–it also offers a window into the Christian Patriarchy's teachings about how children are to honor their parents even as married adults. We break down the red flags for abuse we found in the book, as well as what goes into writing trauma-memoirs. From there, Tia and Laura Pop Into Pop Culture with a look at the Jonas divorce and the lewd conduct of Lauren Boebart. Our Non-Consenual Advice segment answers a listener's question–How do I tell my Catholic parents I don't want to baptize my children?

Speaking of that segment… If you have questions for the Wise Jezebels, head to the contact form on our website or send us a DM and we'll answer them on the pod (after removing all identifying information, of course!)
