Messy Genes
Two Sisters. Too opinionated. Zero Clue.
We’re Carly and Cindy, and we were raised to be obedient, modest, and quiet. Instead, we got divorced, left the Mormon church, and started a podcast. Messy Genes is where we unpack everything from religious deconstruction to dating after 7-20 years of marriage—with a lot of sarcasm, sister banter, and oversharing along the way.
If you've ever been labeled “too much,” “too loud,” or just plain “too messy,” you're in the right place. Grab a drink and join us as we laugh, rant, and unlearn the stuff we were told was sacred.
