Baptized in Utah to Fit In! - Gabrielle Zelaya | Ep. 2044

Join us today for a unique Mormon Stories episode! Gabriella Zelaya shares her story of growing up amidst Mormon culture in Farmington, Utah as a non-member. Surrounded by an LDS-dominated community and extended family, Gabby navigated social pressure, exclusion, and judgment by the members that surrounded her.


From feeling like an outsider in school to eventually converting to Mormonism as a teenager for a sense of belonging, Gabby opens up about the emotional toll of purity culture, “love bombing,” and the struggle to find self-worth. She recounts her journey through mental health challenges, her eventual disaffection from the Church, and the healing work she’s done to break cycles of shame and rebuild her life on her own terms.


Topics Include:

-Growing up non-Mormon in a Mormon world

-Conversion for community and survival

-Love bombing and disillusionment

-Breaking free and healing from trauma


Join us for this raw and inspiring conversation.
