Ep. 12 Clip 1 - The Damaging Ick of General Conference

General Conference has been described as, "Receiving a slap and then a kiss." Members are bombarded with messaging that they are not enough, that they will never be enough, and that they need the church to even have a chance at being enough, so they had better come back and stay forever. But they will probably still never be enough. All while they are being told how wonderful and glorious the experience is.Sounds like the tactic of an abuser. Or a cult. Because it is.

Ep. 12 - General Conference "Glow"

For many years, Kate was made to attend "General Conference," a large gathering of Mormons that happens twice a year.
Over this weekend, members are told they are worthless and that they need the Mormon church to make them whole, all while being bombarded with messaging that this is a wonderful, holy, sacred experience. This results in significant cognitive dissonance that is palpable and registers on attendees' faces.
There have also been numerous controversial talks at these conferences over the years. In this episode, Kate and Erika break it all down. Over cocktails. Of course.

Ep. 5 Clip 1 - SHAME!

Shame is a centerpiece of the Mormon church.
