It’s about time we got another therapist around here. Ashley shares her expertise on all things religious trauma and faith transitions. After getting the lowdown on her mixed-faith upbringing, we dive into what religious trauma really is, how Mormonism operates as a traumatized organization, and—most importantly—how to heal.

Om Podcasten

I deconstructed my Mormon faith down to the bone—and then, when my dad died, the deconstruction shit really hit the fan. Now, Girlscamp is steering toward something deeper: finding meaning again. Whether you’re piecing things together after a faith deconstruction, a loss, or a life change, grab a camp chair and join the conversation around the fire. We’ll explore spiritual ideas and philosophies, chat with experts about living ~our best lives~, interview people who’ve rebuilt their beliefs to see where they’ve landed, and share wild stories about the highs, lows, and in-betweens of figuring it all out. All with honesty, heart, and humor—because that's what Girlscamp is all about.
