From Mormon Marriage to Polyamory | Faith Deconstruction, Divorce, OnlyFans & Finding My Voice

From Mormon Marriage to Polyamory | Faith Deconstruction, Divorce, OnlyFans & Finding My Voice

I’ve shared pieces of my story before


But never the whole picture.


In this episode of Unladylike Thoughts, I walk through my full journey, growing up Mormon in Utah, getting married at 18 for religious reasons, questioning church history, leaving the faith, starting OnlyFans, getting divorced, and finding myself in a polyamorous relationship.


This isn’t about shock value.


It’s about what happens when the belief system that shaped your entire identity begins to crack, and you decide to listen to your own voice instead.


What We Talk About:


• Growing up in a strict Mormon household

• Religious conditioning and people pleasing

• Getting married young for faith based reasons

• Women and salvation in Mormon doctrine

• Questioning church history and faith deconstruction

• Leaving the Mormon church

• Divorce after religion

• Starting OnlyFans after religious shame

• Porn focused therapy and sexual healing

• Financial independence after marriage

• Polyamory and open relationships

• Attachment styles, anxious vs avoidant

• Conflict avoidance and peacekeeper identity

• Reclaiming intuition and inner voice

• Becoming financially and emotionally independent


Core Conversation Thread:


When your entire identity is built on belief, what happens when belief collapses?


This episode explores what it feels like to untangle yourself from religious expectations, cultural pressure, marriage built on doctrine, and the fear of eternal consequences.


It’s about moving from obedience to agency.


From shame to ownership.


From survival to self trust.


And realizing that every version of you was just trying to stay safe.


This conversation is for you if:


• You grew up in a high demand religion

• You got married young because you thought you were supposed to

• You’ve questioned your faith but felt afraid to say it out loud

• You’ve struggled with attachment styles in relationships

• You’re navigating divorce or identity shifts

• You’re learning to separate who you are from what you were taught


You don’t have to agree with every conclusion.


But if you’ve ever felt like you’ve lived multiple identities in one lifetime, you’ll recognize something here.
