The Mormon Church Saved My Life - Keira Shae | Ep. 2073

The Mormon Church Saved My Life - Keira Shae | Ep. 2073

Today we welcome to the podcast Keira Shae, who joins us to share her story of converting to the LDS Church as a teenager while growing up in an abusive home.


Living in Utah, Keira was surrounded by Mormons and idealized them as a contrast to her tumultuous home life. Around the age of fifteen, she went to live with a foster family who required her to follow church guidelines very rigidly. At the time, however, this structured lifestyle was a welcome change from her chaotic upbringing.


After marrying and starting a family with a return missionary, Keira did her best to live up to the expectations of being the “perfect” Mormon wife and mother. Over time, though, she found herself struggling with perfectionism, scrupulosity, and the process of discovering her bisexuality.


Join us to hear how Keira confronted these challenges and where she stands with the Mormon Church today.


You can purchase Keira's memoir, How the Light Gets In here.
