Summary
This week, Scheana and Brock sit down with Heather Gay to unpack her powerful new docuseries Surviving Mormonism . Heather shares how the project came to life, how being a “Bad Mormon” has impacted her business and personal relationships, and the legal threats she’s faced—even from within her own family. She and Brock compare their experiences growing up in the Church, from tithing while living below the poverty line to the pressure of securing a bishop’s approval just to get into BYU (including why Brock’s bishop refused). They dig into why so many former members describe the institution as fear-based and silencing, and they might have even cracked the code for why Mormons make such great reality TV stars! Plus, Scheana and Heather dive into the RHOSLC questions fans are dying to have answered: Will we ever get clarity on the infamous plane incident? Does Lisa Barlow actually have Global Entry? And now that Jen Shah is out of prison, is Heather open to reconnecting? Tune in for truth, humor, healing — and Heather at her most candid.
