In this deeply personal episode, Sam shares her experience growing up Mormon in New York and her eventual move to Utah, where she spent 15 years navigating a much more intense religious culture. In conversation, we explore: - Sam's unique experience as a "non-Utah Mormon" and how her family's more relaxed approach differed from the mainstream - The cultural quirks of Mormonism that most people don't understand (like special undergarments and dating pressure) - How personal choices about substances (coffee, alcohol, cigarettes) are influenced by religious upbringing - The overwhelming pressure to marry young and have children in Mormon culture - What it's like trying to build a social life in Utah when you don't fit the traditional Mormon template - The gradual realization that trying to make it work wasn't serving her anymore This candid conversation sheds light on the subtle ways high-demand religious cultures can shape identity and limit personal growth, even when you're trying to carve your own path within them.
