Tiffany opens up about her own journey away from the LDS Church, sharing how the process of finding new answers and establishing a sense of security outside of a lifelong faith can be both challenging and liberating, tackling the tough emotions of grief and loss, and the crucial role that open conversations and safe spaces play in the healing process.
