You left religion. Now who are you? | Audra Phelps

Leaving a religious system can change far more than what you believe. It can force you to question your identity, your values, your relationships, your role as a parent, and even your understanding of who you are.In this episode of Unholier Than Thou, I’m joined by Audra Phelps, who works with former Mormon mothers navigating life beyond the structures and expectations of the LDS Church.We talk about one of the most overlooked parts of religious deconstruction: rebuilding your identity after you've spent years being told who you're supposed to be.Who are you when your religion no longer defines you?How do you figure out which parts of yourself are genuinely yours?What happens when the roles, rules, and expectations you've built your life around suddenly don't fit anymore?And how do you begin creating a life based on your own values, choices, and sense of self?Audra shares her perspective on identity, motherhood, religious conditioning, self-discovery, and the process of becoming the person you were never given permission to be.If you've ever questioned your faith, walked away from a religious system, or found yourself wondering "Who am I now?" after deconstruction, this conversation is for you.Connect with Audra:Links to Audra's website, social media, and RECLAIMED program can be found in the show notes.If you enjoyed this episode, like, follow, subscribe, and leave a review.
