In today&#39;s episode, sisters Meggan and Julie share what it was like growing up in a family of 14 children in a very strict Mormon household. They describe a home built around structure, obedience, and high expectations: early morning scripture study, strict rules, limited privacy, and constant pressure to represent the “ideal” Mormon family. They each re-tell their own experiences growing up in this environment, and discuss why they found their relationship fractured for many years—then reveal how they re-kindled their relationship. They also each discuss their individual faith journeys and where they stand with their beliefs today.Topics/themes include:-Family dynamics-Authority and control in the home-Modesty and purity culture-Perfectionism, shame and worthiness-Faith transitionsMeggan is also the host of her own post-Mormon channel, Generally Unquotable, which can be found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GenerallyUnquotable" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">here</a>.This episode is a beautiful example of bridge building and unconditional love, and we are very grateful to Meggan and Julie for sharing their story with us.___________________<a href="https://youtu.be/dL_BKA_7usI" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">YouTube</a>At Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.
