For many reasons, people often choose to leave quietly or feel they have to go it alone. But if you are having doubts or are contemplating leaving the church, I know it can be scary and it can be so lonely–I’d recommend finding at least one safe person you trust that you can confide in! I took the plunge and reached out to people that I knew had left and it was comforting to swap stories. The main reason I’m choosing to share my journey publicly now is that I want people to know they’re not alone, and there’s no shame in following your own path; there’s actually a ton of joy in it :)

If you’re struggling in the church or contemplating leaving, You’re not alone! For the past year I have been very cautious about who I shared news of my leaving with, as I don’t want to hurt or offend anyone, cause rifts, or invite debate or reactivation efforts. But as the news has slowly trickled out, I have been amazed by the number of Mormon friends I have who have confided in me that they have also left the church.
