It's part 2!!! We talk with the queen Tara Herbert from Pouty Mouth Podcast about leaving Mormonism, surviving Utah, and finding humor in the absolute weirdness of religious control. From growing up with body neutrality to having that unravel under garments, missions, and relentless modesty policing, Tara breaks down how purity culture, pressure to be thin, and the rush to become a perfect Mormon wife at the ripe age of 18.
We get into the contradictions that make religion so insane once you’re out: women’s bodies and blood being labeled dirty while everyone’s taking shots of Jesus' metaphorical diva cup, religions crediting men with creating life despite… literall everything in observable nature. And why the Garden of Eden being in Jackson County, Missouri should’ve been a red flag. Tara reflects on what it was like being Black at BYU, dating within Mormonism, and navigating a religion and region where whiteness is the default.
Then... it devolves into... something. For privacy and legal sake we had to cut out a lot, so if it doesn't make any sense, just enjoy the chaos. And for the record... WE DO NOT CONDONE METH
