Summary

As someone who spends a lot of time dissecting Mormon culture and doctrine—especially its impact on millennial and Gen Z women in Utah—Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is basically my Super Bowl. Today we’re diving into all things season 2: the claim that these women are “smashing the patriarchy,” Jen and Zac’s faith crisis, Taylor’s swinger shame spiral, Layla’s s-e-x party, the pregnancy roulette, and so much more. Grab your Swig and let’s get into it.

I feel like this season has even more to unpack re the Mormonism of it all than season one even did. And if we're talking

0:32.2

about high metrics of things to unpack, I would say season one of the secret lives of Mormon wives is pretty high up there.

0:40.3

And like I said, I think we have even more to talk about today. What are my credentials to share my

0:47.2

opinions on the secret lives of Mormon wives? Well, I am a 29-year-old ex-orman woman myself. I live in Utah, born and raised in Utah.

0:57.7

I actually have a lot of connections to these women, personal connections, as is probably the case

1:03.5

for anyone. Born and raised, Mormon in Utah, it is a very tight-knit community.

1:09.9

And also talking about the effects of Mormon doctrine and Mormon culture on this particular

1:16.6

age and regional demographic is kind of my bread and butter here on the girls' camp podcast.

1:23.0

My CTR sourdough loaf of bread and butter.

1:26.7

As per Whitney and Michaela's loaves in the Great

1:29.8

Mormon Bake Off in episode, I don't know, but if you've seen it, you remember. I'm going to be

working in somewhat chronological order throughout the season with my thoughts and feelings. So if you are

1:42.6

trying to avoid spoilers, I'm talking about things that

1:46.8

happen in the show, but I don't know, if you've only watched the first few episodes, maybe listen

1:51.1

for a little and then turn this off, go finish, and come back. I'm also sprinkling in some listener

1:56.7

thoughts. I put up an Instagram submission box on my Girls Camp podcast Instagram and had a lot of people

2:03.3

sharing their thoughts and feelings. So I've sprinkled those in, as well as some internet opinions that

2:09.3

have resonated with me. So I think we've got a pretty thorough breakdown of all things,

2:15.1

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2. It wouldn't be a girls' camp podcast episode

2:19.1

without a couple of big, fat, juicy disclaimers. I'll do this quickly. Number one, yes, I know this

2:24.7

is reality TV. I know we are not given the full picture. In my commentary, I'm just going to
