Dr. Stacy Friedman sits down with NLP practitioner and coach Audra Phelps for a conversation about what happens to a woman's body, identity, and desire after she leaves a high-control religion. Audra walked away from the Mormon church at thirty-five, and now works with former Mormon moms untangling purity culture, self-abandonment, and body shame from the inside out. As a sexologist and sex coach, Dr. Stacy digs into the myth that men have a bigger sex drive than women, why so many women were never taught their pleasure mattered, and how perfectionism keeps women performing instead of feeling. This is sexologist talk for anyone rebuilding their relationship with their own body after years of following someone else's rules.In This Episode You Will Learn

Free Masterclass — 5 Shifts Every Former Mormon Mom Needs to Make: https://mamaaudra.com/training
Audra founded Mama Audra to help moms unravel the web of old beliefs after leaving the LDS church to discover their own identity as a woman and mom. With over 15 years of experience in international education and coaching, she discovered her passion in supporting moms grappling with grief, mom guilt, and identity loss after a faith crisis. Audra began her career as a high school biology teacher, was raised in the church, and then moved overseas with her family to work in international schools. When she finally made the life-altering decision to leave the church, she found herself sinking in uncertainty, lonelier than she'd ever been before, and constantly feeling like she was failing her children. Through years of self-discovery and coaching, she has walked the path to uncovering beliefs that resonate, building relationships with her children based on love and trust, and navigating the loneliness that comes from starting all over again. She is now focusing her work on the unique challenges that ex-Mormon moms are navigating. Audra is reaching back to help them feel confident in who they are and blaze their own path, on their own terms.
