In this week’s episode, Tay is back for another girl-chat, this time with Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Mayci Neeley! Mayci takes us back to the day she and her college boyfriend Arik found out they were pregnant at just 19 years old, and how only a month later he died in a tragic accident after a fight the two of them had. She opens up about the guilt she carried, how she explained loss to her young son, and the journey of eventually finding love again with her now husband, Jacob. Mayci also shares the painful reality of an abusive past relationship, why she stayed silent, and the turning point that gave her the courage to speak up. She reflects on what inspired her to write her book, the meaning behind its title Told You So, and the ways she has found healing over the years. Mayci also offers advice for women who may be scared to leave or speak out about their own experiences, reminding them they are never alone.
