Leaving the Mormon Church featuring Natalie Que

Her whole life, Natalie Que had learned to ignore the misgivings she’d felt about the Mormon church in which she’d grown up with her four sisters. And then, at the age of 29, she met a woman who had successfully left the church, and in one afternoon, Natalie’s world blew wide open.

She realized that she’d been living her life in contrast to what she truly felt and believed and would never be able to go back. Her new understanding catapulted her apostasy, a massive transition within her marriage, and a deep knowing that her integrity would never let her stay in a religion where she felt had been lied to.

In this episode, Natalie recounts the rules of her upbringing and how she finally and permanently rejected them, what she and her husband went through when she left, and what she’s created for herself and her children now, more than a decade later.
