In this episode, Alia shares her profound journey from growing up in one religion to converting to Mormonism and eventually leaving the faith. She discusses the community and support she found within the church, the strange practices such as baptisms for the dead, and the challenges faced by women in the church. Alia also addresses her experiences with race, her exploration of sexuality, and the pivotal moments that led her to question her beliefs. Through her story, listeners gain insight into the complexities of faith, identity, and the search for truth beyond high control religion. In this conversation, Alia shares her experiences with Mormon rituals, the temple recommend process, and the endowment ceremony, revealing her feelings of discomfort and panic during these secretive (erm.. sacred?) experiences. She discusses the significance of the celestial room, the sealing ceremony, and her eventual shift in belief that led her to leave the church. Alia reflects on her incredible life after leaving religion, the deconstruction of her beliefs, and how she navigates spirituality now, emphasizing the importance of personal experiences and connections. Time to rip off the garments and spill the tea!

Welcome to the very first episode ever of Girls Gone Godless. Alia, Christina and Noë are an unholy trinity of friends who are here to unravel the threads that organized religion has intertwined into society. In the inaugural episode, the hosts discuss their diverse backgrounds and experiences with religion, the challenges of leaving faith, and the importance of community in their journeys. They share comedic (and occasionally inappropriate) personal anecdotes, explore the intersection of spirituality and music, and reflect on the cultural influences that shaped their beliefs. The podcast aims to create a space for sharing compelling stories and experiences related to leaving religion but also finding joy and humor in the ridiculous scenarios they’ve encountered along the way. As a fun bonus, you will learn who’s placenta got eaten by a raccoon!
