G-I-R-L-S-C-A-N-P-S-K-E-N-P-S-K-K-E-N-P-S-K-K-E. Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Girls'Camp podcast. I'm your host, Haley Rawl, and I am thrilled to be joined today by Tiffany Hempel. Welcome, Tiffany. Thanks for having me. I'm so glad you're here.

You DM'd me. We've connected before, but when you DMed me, you were like, I'm ready to talk about my

story. I've just felt like such a powerful energy around you and your story. And I was like,

let's do it. I'm so happy to be here talking to you today. Before we begin,

let me tell you a little bit about Tiffany. We're going to be talking about your upbringing

because you were raised in the apostolic United Brethren religion, which is an offshoot from the LDS

church that practices plural marriage. So we're going to be talking about that,

about your upbringing. Around 19, right, you converted from, do you call it the AUB or AUB? Well, you know what's

funny about it is I actually didn't know that it was called the AUB until I was an adult because

they don't call

themselves A-U-B. They just speak about themselves as if they're like the real L-D-S members. Yeah. So I

didn't even know that until I left and people started asking me like, what's that church called?

And I was like, I actually didn't look that up because I don't know.

Interesting. Were you calling yourself Mormon then? Okay, because Mormon was not about and I was like, uh, I actually need to look that up because I don't know. Like, yeah.

Were you calling yourself Mormon then?

Okay.

Yeah.

Because Mormon was not a bad word at that time.

Okay.

So you just thought you were, they thought they were like the real Mormons.

Yeah.

Interesting.
