The Darkside of Ex-Mormon Content Creating ft. ExmoLex

The Darkside of Ex-Mormon Content Creating ft. ExmoLex

After 25 years of being a devout Mormon, when Lexi started questioning her faith, she had no support other than the online content made by ex-Mormon creators. When her father saw that she responded to and agreed with an ex-Mormon social media post, he snapped at her to keep her mouth shut about her opinions. This was the moment that fueled her to start her own ex-Mormon YouTube channel, and so Exmo Lex was born.

Since then, the last 6 years as a content creator have been quite the ride. Each week she’s furthered uncovered the discrepancies in the Mormon church, all while on her own deconstructing journey. From dealing with hate comments, to being disowned by her husband’s parents… today Exmo Lex dives into the Darkside of creating ex-Mormon content, and why she’s now choosing to step away.

Her Childhood in Scientology:  The Dark Unspoken Truth

Her Childhood in Scientology: The Dark Unspoken Truth

**Trigger Warning: brief mention of SA towards the end of the interview** It's time we talk about the little humans who are raised in cults. Parents do the best they can with the information they have, so the blame is not on them. It is on these high-demand organizations who first con the parents, and then indoctrinate the kids. A vicious cycle until someone is able to break free. Let's take a look into the childhood of Dani, a former Scientologist who was raised in the church, and the reperc...
