What makes someone walk away from everything they've ever known and believed? In this deeply personal episode, we share the raw and vulnerable story of why we left Mormonism. From the first unsettling sparks of doubt to the unraveling of deeply rooted beliefs, we explore what it's like to question a system that once gave your life purpose, direction, and belonging.

In this deeply personal and powerful episode of Wake Her Up, we sit down with our brother to talk about the heartbreaking journey he and his wife have endured through infertility and the unimaginable pain of eight miscarriages.

This is more than a story of loss — it’s a rare and raw look at the male perspective in a space so often centered around women. We explore how his experience has shaped him as a husband, a man, and a brother, and how women's healthcare — or the lack of support within it — affects not just women, but their partners and entire families.

This conversation is an invitation for couples to feel less alone in their grief. Whether you’ve walked a similar path or want to better understand the quiet heartbreak so many face, this episode is about connection, compassion, and the courage to speak the unspeakable.
