I Never Saw Boobs Until North Dakota | Leaving Purity Culture

Jaden Jeffs Episode 11


In this episode of the Jaden Jeffs podcast, I delve into my personal journey of understanding women, coming from an extremely strict FLDS home led by Warren Jeffs. I recount the profound culture shock of my first job outside the FLDS sphere and my awkward experiences working alongside women for the first time. I narrate various encounters that slowly introduced me to a world I knew little about, including vivid memories of dealing with co-workers' unexpected behaviors and exploring dating life. This episode encapsulates my struggles and transformations as I attempt to find my place amidst new norms, and my firm stance on staying true to myself in relationships. Tune in as I share my unique and raw perspective on a life balancing strict upbringing and the quest for personal freedom.
