Summary

Chelsea is diving deep into Hulu's “The Secret Life of Mormon Wives” and the memoir “A Well-Trained Wife” by Tia Levings -- recapping the eight episodes and discussing important takeaways from both the TV show and the book. Chelsea unpacks the shocking revelations on the show, including the soft-swinging secrets of the TikTok-famous Mormom MomTok group. She also explores the undercurrents of religious patriarchy while taking a closer look at how these women balance faith, fame, and family while trying to rewrite the rulebook on what it means to be a modern wife.
