ExcommuniDate: Life & Love After Religion
You left the faith. The baggage stayed.
Ex-Mormon Jessa and former Presbyterian Austin get real about dating after religion: purity culture damage, mismatched values, and building relationships on your own terms. Honest, hilarious, and judgment-free.
For the deconstructed, the questioning, and anyone dating outside the lines they were raised in.
New episodes every two weeks.
ExcommuniDate: Life & Love After Religion
10. The Hidden Struggles of a Jehovah's Witness Pioneer
A former Jehovah’s Witness pioneer joins us to share her story of leaving the faith. She opens up about the exhausting demands of life as a pioneer, the emotional cost of door-to-door evangelism, and the trauma of being part of a system that mishandles abuse and enforces shunning. We also explore her experience navigating dating and family expectations after leaving the faith, how other religions like Mormonism approach growth, and what it means to reclaim your identity.
