Summary

In case you didn't know, we're still making episodes that are available exclusively on Nora's Substack! - Jenni was raised Mormon, and for the first part of her life, was a dutiful follower. She got married young, attended church, and was a loyal wife. But life got messy and complicated for Jenni, and she eventually made a choice that surprised her. A choice considered a sin in her culture, and a pretty hurtful thing to do by the rest of society: she cheated. For the last year, Jenni’s been grappling with the shame and guilt of this choice and how parts of her dating history led to this choice. — Our Substack is a great way to connect with us and other listeners (and get more Terrible in your inbox).
