Episode Details

She burned her Bible in the backyard. But that came years after leaving a marriage she was pressured into at 19, going homeless, losing her faith, and waking up from a coma. Jennie Gage has lived several lifetimes inside one — and she's using all of it to fight back.

What you'll get from this conversation:

• How Mormon indoctrination works and why it's different from "just going to church on Sundays"
• What "a man is not a plan" really means and how Jennie learned it the hard way
• The tradwife pipeline that cracked 44 years of belief wide open
• Why the lesbians were always the canary in the coal mine
• What "shield maidens" are in white supremacist movements and where Erica Kirk fits in
• Why Turning Point USA is essentially running a Mormon missionary program on college campuses
• How cults use fear and inspiration to change behavior — and why it always wears off
• What identity collapse actually feels like when you leave a high-demand religion
• Where Jennie finds spirituality, hope, and her own voice as an atheist
• Why she calls herself an activist, not a content creator
