32 - What "A Better Life" Actually Means After Mormonism

Creating a better life after Mormonism doesn’t mean building the opposite life. It doesn’t mean dismantling every discomfort, rejecting everything you were taught, or proving that leaving was “worth it.”

In this episode, we slow that idea way down. We talk about what a better life actually means — and how to tell the difference between: fear and preference conditioning and genuine choice work that needs to be done and things you’re allowed to leave alone If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re still “doing it wrong” because some things are still uncomfortable after leaving the church, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we explore: Why opposite isn’t the same as free How Mormonism

Why not every discomfort needs to be dismantled

What the result of your thought patterns reveals about healing vs. acceptance

How to tell if a choice is truly yours — or just inherited

Signs you may be swapping one authority for another

What creating a better life after Mormonism really looks like: expanded choice, not performative freedom

A grounding takeaway: A better life isn’t one where nothing feels uncomfortable.

It’s one where discomfort doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong — and where peace doesn’t need to be justified.

I’m currently offering a limited number of free Creative Healing Mini Sessions. These are short, one-on-one conversations where we focus on one area of your life that feels confusing, stuck, or overworked — and clarify whether there’s actually work to do there, or whether you’re allowed to stop trying to fix it.

This is not therapy. It’s not a commitment to ongoing coaching. It’s about clarity and self-trust. Because I want these sessions to feel grounded and well-held, spots are limited and booking will close once they’re filled. For those who attend a session, I’m also gifting (you only pay for shipping) a limited number of Creative Healing art kits to support integration after our conversation (available while supplies last).
