Nourishing Our Sanity
23. The Impact of Religious Trauma on Female Physiology with Madisen Smith
•
Kymber Maulden
Kymber sits down with Madison to explore her journey out of the Mormon church and into deeper self-trust, embodiment, and emotional clarity. Madison shares how perfectionism, external expectations, and a culture of “proving your worth” shaped her early life — and how questioning those systems led her toward healing.
Today on Nourishing Our Sanity:
- Perfectionism and Conformity: How growing up Mormon influenced Madisen’s tendencies
- Madisen’s first moments of doubt — and how it felt when her beliefs no longer matched her lived experience
- How religious systems can disconnect people from their intuition and body
- An update on Madison’s physical and emotional health post-Mormonism
