Back to EpisodesEp. 69 Leaving the Mormon Church, Understanding Attachment Styles and Emotional Safety (with special guest Kyleigh Weathers)
Description
I invited Kyleigh Weathers, founder of Queerly Attached on the podcast to reflect on the challenging journey of leaving a religious upbringing. Kylie opens up about the trauma and confusion triggered by suppressing one's identity due to religious doctrine and the process of embracing personal intuition. Our conversation touches on the toll religious conditioning can take on one's well-being and highlights the importance of emotional safety and personal sovereignty within familial relationships, particularly when it involves reconciling love for family with religious conflicts.
On this podcast we discuss:
- Kyleigh's story of leaving the Mormon church
- Control that religious systems exert
- Attachment styles
- Letting go and being present with ourselves
- Emotional regulation and our role as parents
