Austin
Meet Austin, co-founder of ExcommuniDate, a podcast dedicated to helping individuals navigate life and love after leaving high-demand religions. Inspired by his experience living in the high-demand religious culture of Utah, Austin is passionate about creating a supportive space for those seeking authenticity and connection.
Austin is not a religious person himself, but as someone who once lived as an expat in a community strongly influenced by Mormonism, it was difficult to navigate and create connections. He often felt like he was outside of the circle, never having experienced the same religious upbringing or challenges.
Providing his unique perspective as a non-member of the community, he shares his thoughts and experiences on how to navigate those environments—whether for those like him or for individuals leaving a high-demand religion.
