Latter-Day Lesbian

Where the heck is Kolob? We're still not sure, but we definitely talk about it ad nauseam in this episode. Put on your spacesuits and get ready to blast off to wherever God is... Or maybe just have a blast spending 45 minutes with Mary and Shelly. Enjoy! Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com .

In 16, Shelly and Mary discuss family connections (or lack thereof), coincidence stories, another ridiculous tale about tithing, Temple Square panhandlers, and our fun new segment: The Effed-Up Mormon Phrase of the Day. Enjoy! Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com .

In this episode Shelly reads from the "For the Strength of Youth" manual...the same pamphlet her Bishop cited as "scripture," which he used to justify taking away her temple recommend. Wait a minute -- is this stuff completely fake? We also started a new segment called "The Mormon Phrase of the Day." Aw man, how do you pick just one??? Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy!

Sister missionaries, it's time to step into some trousers (one leg at a time). And Shelly gets all up in her feels about her divorce. Also, we read an amazing listener email about "reparative" or conversion therapy. What???? No thanks, Mormons. We're all good on that front. Music provided by: https://www.purple-planet.com .

Welcome to lucky number 13! In this episode Shelly talks about that very special time when she blossomed into womanhood. Warning: this description gets a bit graphic (as usual, Shelly's mouth filter is on the fritz). We also continue the saga of the big church exit, which gets her a bit riled up (breathe, Shelly). Buckle up kids, this ride is bumpy! Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.pur...

Shelly's undergoing gum surgery soon, and in this episode we discuss where those things come from. Ew. We also talk about the first time we both encountered a gay person, and Shelly continues her story about leaving the church and her interview with that beer-hating bishop. It's a good one - enjoy!

What, you don't drink beer in the shower? Some say it makes a great conditioner. In fact, Shelly claimed that once when her kids asked her if she'd been drinking. True story. In this episode, Shelly also begins the painful retelling of leaving the church, and Mary describes her second coming...out. Oy! But now the spoilers are over and it's time to get to the actual listening. Hope you enjoy! Musi...

Don't worry, we're not giving up the podcast to be porn stars. But if we did, let's just say pizza would be involved. Yep, it seems strange to us too.  Welcome to our 10th episode! Shelly comes out again, this time to her parents. Since we've been teasing this one for weeks we thought it was time to get to it already. Jeez. Hope you enjoy, and please share with a friend if you feel like it...and m...

What's the big deal about Mormon Missions, anyway? Well, we tackle 'em head on in our 9th podcast, so check it out! Also, we discuss professional recycling, sinful, costly tattoos, and dehydrating yogurt (yes, that's a thing). Hope you enjoy it. Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com .

This episode stumbled upon a big trigger for Shelly. It gets emotional, but we managed to balance the discussion with a revelation about racist panty hose. Ridiculous. Also, we read a sweet yet slightly heartbreaking letter from Angelica. Hang in there, though, because it has a happy ending. Thanks for writing in, Angelica!

Shelly talks about the annual Christmas letter from her "perfect Mormon family." Insert eye-rolling emoji. Mary is starting to think this Mormon stuff might actually be fake. Hmm... Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com .

Happy Holidays! Shelly gives her children an amazing gift by coming out to them. Also, nothing says Merry Christmas like ridiculously strong cocktails set on fire! Find out how we survived the restaurant of the meandering men. Music provided by Purple Planet: https://purple-planet.com .

In this episode we talk about coming out to Shelly's husband. What a treat that was. And will Mary and Shelly ever find the perfect canine companion for Eddie? Decisions, decisions... Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com .

Shelly responds to listener questions about her first Mormon memory, then we dive into part 1 of her coming out story...if she can get a word in. Mary, you came out a long time ago. Let the newbie get a turn. Listeners, you might want to grab a cocktail and get comfortable for this one. It's at least a two-parter.  Music provided by Purple Planet: https://purple-planet.com .

People wonder how an ex-Mormon mother of 7 ended up on a date with a "career lesbian." We actually wonder the same thing. Give a listen and find out.  Music provided by Purple Planet: www.purple-planet.com

Welcome back! Mary and Shelly back up a little and describe Mormonism a bit better. Mary's still confused though. Is this stuff actually crazy? All signs point to yes.  Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com .

Shelly is a divorced mother of 7 dealing with leaving the Mormon church and coming to terms with her sexuality. Mary is a recovering evangelical Christian, and also a "career lesbian" (as Shelly puts it). Together we're processing all the religious B.S. and navigating a romantic relationship, through a podcast that's raw, honest and funny. Please join us! Music provided by Purple Planet: https://w...
