What happens when leaving your faith also means losing your identity, your community, and your support system?

In this powerful episode of Talk to Danielle, I sit down with Audra Phelps who helps former Mormon mothers navigate the difficult journey of healing after religious trauma. We explore the emotional weight of leaving a high-demand religion, overcoming guilt, rebuilding confidence, and creating a new foundation for yourself and your family.

Whether you've experienced religious trauma yourself or are supporting someone who has, this conversation offers hope, practical insights, and a reminder that healing is possible. The practical support Audra offers is transferable to any situation you may be going through, from leave a toxic relationship or family, to overcoming professional burnout, this is all transferable.
