Arrested Development — 5 Ways Post-Mormons Are Like Teenagers Podcast: Mormon to Muse with Kristin Martineau
Leaving Mormonism can feel like waking up in your own teenage rebellion—only this time, you're an adult. In this episode, I break down five ways post-Mormons are like teenagers and explore why emotional, spiritual, and developmental growth often gets paused in high-demand religions.
We’ll talk about:
Why leaving Mormonism often triggers a “second adolescence”
The impact of obedience culture on emotional maturity
How to reclaim autonomy, self-trust, and critical thinking
The role of art and creativity in reparenting yourself
How to move from stunted to sovereign
If you’ve ever wondered why you feel like you're just now figuring out who you are—this one's for you.
