Liz Gillie (:

Hey besties, Liz here. So we're doing it. I've gotten so many DMs over the past few months with questions about our decision to leave Mormonism, and I have finally decided to sit down and talk about it, unfiltered. This is not, I repeat not, a tell all, burn it all down kind of episode.

This is going to be more of a, here's what we've experienced, what's changed for us, and how we're navigating life on the other side kind of conversation. I will be answering your real questions, things like, how did you know it was time to leave? What changed in your family dynamics? Do you miss anything about it? And how do you talk to your friends or family that are still in?

Leaving something that changed your entire identity, your values, your community, your worldview is a lot. And I know so many of you are either in the thick of it, quietly questioning, or maybe you're just curious about what it's like on the other side. So I'm showing up with honesty, empathy, and a little bit of humor because if we cannot laugh while unraveling our entire belief system, what even are we doing? The full episode drops on Tuesday, so make sure you're subscribed to Besties Unfiltered so you don't miss it.

And if there's a question you're still hoping I'll answer, send it my way. It's never too late for a part two. All right, can't wait to chat. See you in the episode.

Liz Gillie

Hey there! I’m Liz—wife, mom, military spouse, and your go-to bestie for all things real and unfiltered. I’m in my thirties, raising three amazing kids, and navigating the ever-changing adventure of life.

I have a deep passion for supporting women in their journeys—whether it’s through meaningful conversations, shared experiences, or just reminding each other that we’re not alone. I believe in showing up authentically, embracing the highs and the lows, and always making space for growth (and a little fun along the way!).

When I’m not chatting on the podcast or connecting with my community, you’ll probably find me with my nose in a book, enjoying some good Mexican food, or soaking up quality time with my family.

I’m so glad you’re here—let’s do this together! ❤️
