ExcommuniDate: Life & Love After Religion
Dating is messy. Leaving religion makes it messier. If you’re ex-Mormon, exvangelical, ex-Jehovah’s Witness, ex-Catholic, ex-Jewish—or just someone dating after faith—we’re here for you.
Join Jessa (ex-Mormon and reality TV addict) and Austin (former Presbyterian and Utah survivor) as they dive into the hilarious, heartbreaking, and healing journey of dating after religion. From purity culture baggage to mismatched values, they explore what it means to form real connections when belief systems no longer match.
Whether you're newly deconstructed or long-time secular, this is your space for honest conversations, awkward stories, and real talk about love, identity, and freedom.

12. Utah, But Secular... Culturally Mormon?
Jessa grew up Mormon in Utah. Nikki grew up not Mormon in Utah. Austin didn’t grow up in Utah at all. Together, they unpack what it means to come of age in a place steeped in LDS culture. From navigating ward culture and family expectations to dating and parenting in a highly religious environment, this episode explores how location, belief, and identity collide in unexpected ways.
