À propos de ce contenu audio

 Oh, hi! I'm Charisse, a divorced Mormon apostate who sells beer for a living. Is it cliché to leave a high-demand religion and then start a podcast to process the experience? Probably. Am I still doing it? Hellll yeah.

This is a podcast where we confront old narratives and attempt to rectify previous identities. We think critically, we ask the hard questions, and we share stories of when our lives completely fell apart + how we're putting them back together. We do this all whilst drinking Blasphemous Beverages (which is any beverage that my former Mormon self would have found incredibly offensive and sinful).

Season 1 is heavily focused on my own faith deconstruction journey, as well as others' journeys. It's when I found my podcasting legs, so to speak.

Season 2is focused on confronting those pesky, old narratives & re-writing unhelpful stories that we tell ourselves.

Season 3 is philosophical, where we tackle some biiiiiig, scary questions about life and existence. It's about getting existential (see what I did there?) and admitting to ourselves that we don't know as much as we think we do.

Season 4 tackles life's messy experiences & concepts - how they change us, what we can learn from them, and why they make life meaningful.

Whether you listen to episodes in order or hop around, I'm glad to have you here. Stay rad,

Charisse

    • Cognitive Dissonance + Church Financial Oopsies

      Cognitive Dissonance + Church Financial Oopsies
      Mar 6 2023
      On February 21, 2023, the United States Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) released a statement announcing that they would be charging the investment wing of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (ope that’s the Mormons) for essentially being super dishonest with money under a non-profit wing of the church called Ensign Peak. I briefly break down (to my understanding) how the Mormon church broke the law and what the SEC's "punishment" to the church was.

      While this certainly isn't the first time that the Mormon Church has done something sketchy or dishonest (nor will it be the last), I talk about why I don't think this particular instance will have a direct affect on church membership retention. I share one example of experiencing maaaaajor cognitive dissonance as a Mormon and why I still stayed devout, even when something felt "off."

      Lastly, I pull an affirmation card from Spirit Junkie by Gabrielle Bernstein (snag your own deck here: Spirit Junkie)

      Enjoy & stay rad! - Charisse

    • Consistency + Cosmic Coincidences

      Consistency + Cosmic Coincidences
      Mar 1 2023
      Welcome to Season 4, I guess? Warning: lots of tears in this episode. I explain why it's been difficult to consistently put out episodes over the last year (and why that might not be changing any time soon....). I share what I'm grieving, with a tangent on how awkward & NOT well our culture handles grief in general. Cosmic coincidences = the term I now use to describe what my former, Mormon self would have called Divine Intervention or "God's hand in my life" - I share my own recent cosmic coincidence, as well as read/listen to feedback + stories I received on social media.

      Lastly, I pull an oracle card for us from The Moon Deck (snag your own here: Moon Deck )

      Enjoy & take exquisite care of yourself! - Charisse

      Rejuvenation, Recharging, Recalibrating
      Jan 2 2023
      2023 has entered the chat...
      In this short & sweet episode, Charisse gets personal with how 2022 went for her and what she plants on tweaking going into the New Year. She leaves the listener with some thoughts on how we all "recharge" our metaphorical batteries and how that's equally important, but drastically different than "resting" our metaphorical batteries.

      Catch some sneak peeks of what's to come on the podcast, as well as Charisse's word/theme for 2023.
