  • Lauren and Chan are joined by special guest Indy Blue to chat about all things related to “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.” The gals dive into the complicated dynamics of not just the women on the show, but how the show relates specifically to Utah Mormon culture and what it looks like to be Mormon in today’s world. They look at the relationships between the women and their husbands, the perception of the level of sinning, the issues the women on the show face as a result of being raised in a religious patriarchal society, and the real impact of #MomTok.

    great episode!!!! as a kid who grew up in the mormon church, this show perfectly captures how it doesn’t matter who you are or how you abide by the church’s teachings, you WILL be judged by your fellow members in some capacity. that is always what felt wrong to me about the church even as a little girl.

    Zac feels the need to bring Jen down with his words because he feels like he is less than her as she is the breadwinner currently. He is horrible because this sweet lady is just trying to be support him in every way possible

    It’s hard to even judge Dakota knowing he’s a recovering addict and what comes with that. The way he acts, behaves and is in a relationship 100% stems from being an addict and not being fully healed spiritually, mentally and emotionally. It’s the #1 reason drug counselors say to not date anyone for the first year of your sobriety. I feel for him

      Definitely agree with that! So curious to see what his and Taylor’s future looks like.

      I agree with that as far as explaining his immaturity, but he truly has deep abuser vibes. It's hard to separate the two because all the things that cause him to have no boundaries or respect for Taylor, come from the same deep rooted issues that cause him to abuse drugs.

      ​​@@shelby477I agree with you. He gives me clout chasing vibes AND wanting the ego-gratification of getting the "cool liberated girl" to change and submit to him by getting into a traditional Mormon marriage with him.

      @@moustik31 Yep, exactly. Plus his absolute disregard for Taylor being so pregnant as so exhausted because he wants to fight and get his point across right then and there, told me everything about him.

    I wholeheartedly agree with you! The only thing I think would make it even more representative and interesting is to throw in an Utah county business mom who really is a true blue Molly Mormon. I accept and embrace all these women as Mormons, but the most “saintly” one is still not following many standards (which I have no problem with) and have at least one who was fully LDS “modest” and really towing the line would bring even more variety.

    Hope you guys could maybe interview some of the cast one day. I gained new perspective on Mormon culture and faith after the show and this podcast episode. I think some really productive conversations can come from you guys talking with the ladies and if it happens I will be sat!!

    This was a very insightful podcast! I've watched the show twice through now and listening to you ladies. Definitely changed my perspective! I know I was very hard on the women on the show for skirting around the rules and, in my opinion, not being very good friends of each other. Hearing how much pressure is on these women to be perfect. It makes complete sense to me now. Also, you guys are right and they are showing up for each other especially since they haven't been friends for very long. Anyways, sorry for the Long comment. This is all just to say I really appreciated this podcast!

      I think it would make so much sense! Even if you take it back to the RSV video it seems like she truly doesn’t understand social cues or why something’s will be seen as inappropriate. I also think her avoiding apologizing and confrontations may step from not understanding how to respond/that there was anything wrong in the first place.
