Why do some EX-MORMONS keep talking about the church?

Leaving the Church is a personal decision, but why do some people continue making it a big part of their lives after they leave? In this episode, we’re diving into the world of ex-Mormon social media, exploring why people leave the Church, why some feel the need to speak out against it, and why the Church has faced criticism for generations. Is it about healing from past experiences, exposing things they disagree with, or trying to help others see things differently? 

We’re asking the questions people may think about but are sometimes afraid to say out loud. No judgment, no pretending to have all the answers, just an honest conversation about faith, identity, criticism, and learning to understand both sides.

Behind the Curtains: Why Polynesians Don’t Talk About Intimacy?

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on a topic that is often considered taboo. Why were we taught not to talk about intimacy? How do culture, religion, family expectations, and shame shape the way we understand intimacy? And what happens when these conversations stay hidden?

No judgment. No pretending. Just an honest conversation about what happens behind the curtains and the things Polynesians think about, experience, and sometimes struggle to talk about.

Some conversations are uncomfortable. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t happen.

In this episode, we have an honest conversation about what it means to carry the expectations of our culture while trying to find our own identity. We talk about family, language, respect, identity, and the fear of losing something that connects us to where we come from.

Are we choosing to let go of our language, or are we simply adapting to the world around us?
