I just started listening after watching , The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”. The whole thought of Mormon girl children growing up thinking they are trash if they have sex before marriage. God is Love! The whole teaching of scripture as if you do this you will suffer is not how God wants us to live! We were made to procreate! Thank you for opening my eyes to just how the religion is and how women are truly treated in the religion and other religions! I do pray that you still believe in God! That broke my heart when you stated you were no longer a believer in a sense. I pray that someone shows you that Jehovah God is LOVE not all of this stuff that is being talked about in these episodes. Sending lots of hugs and I started following you to hear more!

I am mormon, and want to know what i'm being told, what i'm not, and i've always had a lot of questions about church history, modesty, etc. I've found a lot of answers in your podcast and am glad to know i'm not the only one going through this. Love u hayley!!

Haley, let the critics roll off your back. For me, love your perspective and your podcast. Never Mormon, 70+ male and wish I had your insight when I was your age!!!

When Hayley decided to switch the pods direction towards reconstructing and told us about it, it made me realize I was stuck in the same place. I was so hurt my Mormonism I wasn’t able to move on and enjoy being post Mormon, and enjoy the simple things in life. It has helped me so much realizing this, and I love having a podcast to listen to that’s working towards reconstruction. This has been so invaluable to me! Thank you Hayley!!!

I wish I had this podcast when I was deconstructing/reconstructing ten years ago! Hayley has a way of bringing to light all the thoughts in my head and feelings in my chest. Love everything!

I’ve been a long time listener, and just listened to your most recent podcast, “come follow me… to Reddit”. I was completely heartbroken to hear your experience with all the online haters attacking you. You do so much good. I am so sorry for the pain you have had to suffer. As an ex-Mormon, all of my young women’s class has left the church, and we all listen to your podcast in love, admiration and comfort! The old young women’s group chat is now a space to share your episodes! 😂What you do is so brave and so kind.

Just listened to your may 7th episode about Reddit and it was great! I’ve been listening to your podcast a lot for the past couple years and you’ve made a big difference in my life. I’m a guy, but a lot of women in my life have been negatively impacted by the church and I love hearing your perspective. Sorry for never expressing appreciation sooner, but just wanted to say you’re awesome!

Love you Hayley thank you for putting yourself out there even when it’s hard 🩷

I really enjoyed your reels on Instagram so I found your podcast. During my deconstruction you were a friendly voice that helped me feel like I was not alone. Leaving the Church is so so hard! You are so brave to do what you do. Thank you!

I love Hayley. Will listen every week until forever. It is so validating to have someone be open to discussing these topics that, as ex-Mormons, can be so tricky/scary to talk about publicly, or even within our close circles. She’s brave for doing so, and I love her for it.

If Hayley has no fans, I’m dead. This podcast is well-spoken and beautifully thought out. As a never Mormon, ex-evangelical healing from religious trauma, it’s clear to me that we are all so much more similar than we think. I’m always jotting down notes and talking through episodes with my ex-Catholic husband. It’s so refreshing to know that you’re not alone and not crazy for thinking empathy and morals actually come naturally to most people. I never miss an episode 🤍🤍🤍

I’ve loved Hayley’s pod since I found her a year or so ago, and the evolution from deconstruction into reconstruction has felt so perfect for my timeline as well. I love everything Hayley shares, from the lighter, silly shows, to the heavier hitting guests. It’s something I look forward to listening to every week!

Not exmormon lol I just find Hayley’s takes and opinions so interesting and fun

Love the pod

After feeling so alone in my journey of leaving the mormon church, this podcast brings so much understanding and validation that I haven’t felt before. Thank you Hayley, for bringing up the topics/ conversations that I was too afraid to discuss myself. Keep going! This podcast is amazing 🩷

I wish Hayley would let the guest do the majority of the talking. Otherwise, awesome content!

And profound. That’s Hayley 🩷

I’m enjoying the podcast. It’s great. I like hearing Hayley’s perspectives

Listen to someone like Mike Winger instead. It matters how you deconstruct. Deconstructing from Mormonism is important, but where it leads you is just as important.

I started listening about a year ago and am really enjoying the new direction the show is going. I’m a cis-het guy from Utah, married with 2 kids and was raised Mormon but resigned the day one of my kids came out as trans. That alone has made me do a lot of self reflection and come to terms with the fact that everyone has their own unique perspective and identity. Just because I personally haven’t experienced something doesn’t mean that others experiences are invalid or wrong. Your show would be very beneficial to a lot of guys if they could get past their own “male fragility” and actually listen to women, instead of just waiting for their turn to talk.

I was taking NOTESSSSS on that last ep (Mormon God—I Hardly Know Her!)!!! I was scribbling down quotes and ideas and thoughts like i was back in 2016 studying the BOM lol. as an exmo myself, I love deconstructing God and sitting with the mystery, and just picking the story or idea that resonates with me! I found a lot of new concepts during this episode that I am so interested in exploring, and I DEF believe in a God who gives unconditional love without mormon conditions. was blown away by that section of the pod. ANYWAY love it here, def gonna be sticking around.

I don’t usually write reviews but I felt the need to with this podcast! It is so good. I absolutely love listening to it and when I get a notice there’s a new episode I get super excited. I love feeling a sense of community as a post Mormon! It’s nice to feel like I’m not alone and to know other people go through similar experiences. Thank you so much for all the work you do Hayley!

She has amazing and intellectual insights. Leaving Mormonism was already so ostracizing I thought I found a community here but even though I’m mostly moderate I do lean right and she talks very down on anyone who has right leaned values. For someone that is wanting to be open to all views and perspectives, she definitely outcasts on anyone who doesn’t vote the same as she.

Girlscamp is an extremely engaging listen. Host Hayley’s discussions regarding bodily autonomy and body image are frank, affirming, relatable and thought-provoking. The topics discussed are universally relevant, so, despite the title, you needn’t identify as female to get something out of Girlscamp. These are discussions we all should be having, regardless of sex or gender.

Listening to Hayley was hard before when she first started the pod. But I loved hearing stories & I loved that she had some of my favorite creators on the pod. (Madi, Jaci, etc.) The pod always felt weird though because she was acting like she did something so different… but girl… have you heard of Mormon Stories… they’ve already done it. This new direction she’s trying to take pod would be refreshing… but it’s weird that the fact that non-verbal autistics not being telepathic (I’m autistic) is the reason she wanted to change the pod. & then someone debunking the telepathy thing being compared to Joseph Smith… it’s just weird vibes. She uses the pod as therapy. She needs to figure herself out before she tries to run a podcast because it’s just flat & weird. You can feel her grasping for relevance.

If you wish to consume total garbage this is your go to podcast! Highly recommend if you want to lose brain cells the fastest way humanly possible hehee!

I’ve been listening as a neverMo for sometime now and I have loved it. Every episode! As a resolution I’ve been wanting to find more faith outside of religion (grew up catholic) and this rebrand seems so timely. I’m excited to see where Hayley goes on this next chapter!♥️

I’m a never Mormon but I just found this pod and I’m obsessed with listening and bingeing all the old episodes!

My husband and I love referring to our post mormon journey as “working on our 15 year chip” almost like AA sober from Mormonism. We were both raised LDS, actually met in our home ward. Started dating whenI was 15 (gasp!) and he was 18 and just graduated high school and prepping for his mission. Soooo many stories of our journey. Married in the temple in 2005 and officially left the church in 2011. A non (never) member friend knows our journey and has always been so Intrigued sent us this podcast and it is so exhilarating. I LOVE hearing about the nuisances of the church that for so long haunted me and ai still felt shame and guilt speaking about ANY of my thoughts and feelings. This podcast is so fun and easy to listen to and has given my husband-and I some great conversations. And I appreciate how open you are but also I feel you are SO sensitive and kind when speaking about the church, and experiences and leaving topics open for those affected,still In it, or wondering so many things. Would love to be on your show LoL Keep up the good feels and stories

obsessed with hayley she is so smart and articulate i have followed her for years before she left mormonism and love her even more getting to hear her talk weekly

Thank you Hayley for all the thoughtful effort you put into this show - I can only imagine it’s helped so many people like me going through faith deconstruction. You are a treasure!

This is an incredible story told by an astonishing narrator, Hayley Rawle. It’s well worth the investment in your time to start from the first episode. It will not disappoint. 10/10.

I found the pod after SLOMW came out and have slowly been listening to each episode. I love how the host gives a safe space for people to share their stories, no matter where they are on their journey of deconstruction. And for what it’s worth, I find the hosts voice to be very calming! (For whatever weirdo commented that they don’t like her voice)

I don’t know Hayley personally but each episode, with a guest or solo, I feel like I’m digging into the deepest and funnest of conversations with a good friend. When I left the church I grew apart from my TBM friends. We used to sit around a fire many times and share scary mission stories we had heard from friends and neighbors and talk about the complexities of the gospel. This podcast has been a lifeline in my faith transition and kept me feeling supported and understood in the many lonely moments that come with leaving the church. Love love love!!!

This podcast just doesn’t really give off a positive energy. Although some episodes I think could be valuable for individuals struggling in their religious spaces- I think it lacks respect and any type of nuance. This person just seems angry and found a platform to express that anger. Just not for me!

Hayley is so eloquent, genuine, brave, and sincere. I have never been Mormon, but I grew up in a predominantly Mormon community, so the topic is so fascinating to me. Will be a listener for as long as the podcast is around!!

I don’t care what religion she was or is, this podcast has so much negativity about religion and it’s sad. I’ve only listened to a few episodes and will not be listening to any others. It’s one thing to leave a religion, but it’s a whole different kind of bitter to start a podcast purely to spread hate and misinformation about it. Most of the “trauma” being shared is NOT trauma. They are graspingggg at straws here. I can’t imagine how miserable this person is to revolve a podcast around hating a religion you’re no longer a part of.

42 year old straight white male here. I love love love me some girls camp podcast. It makes me smile to see the latest one has been downloaded and I get to listen to her. She recently sat in as co-host on Mormon Stories podcast and did very well there as well. Hayley is a great listen!

Pulling the old Heather McDonald! Getting people over to Patreon so you can make money off of your friendship BREAK-UP story. Thirsty.

Good interview and interviewer. Just please edit out the loud breathing.

Icon. Legend. Saying what needs to be said!!! As a fellow ex Mormon, Hayley explains everything so perfectly.

Very entertaining and insightful. It is a great short listen!

This podcast has been such an amazing resource as someone who has recently left the LDS church. It approaches subjects with respect, and without the intense negativity that other podcasts and pages have (which is understandable but was hard for me personally when I was freshly out). The insights on this podcast have made me laugh, cry, and finally feel like I can start to heal.

So much misinformation and personal vendetta. If you don’t believe in the gospel anymore no one is forcing you to stay or believe- but how is your life enriched by dwelling on your own negative engagement with the church? It makes no sense. Also watch sources- the CES letter has been debunked and all the anti matter is such misinformation.

I’m a “never Mormon”, but have always been intrigued by what seemed to be a very secretive religion. I have enjoyed all of the actual content; however, the gratuitous use of God’s name in vain is not only a turnoff, but completely unnecessary. The content stands on its own and doesn’t benefit from this language. And I am an example of how it alienates the believers in the audience. I give the content 5 stars, but my overall review is less than half that because of how deeply offensive I find the language.

I’m a new follower of your pod and really enjoyed the Mormonism 101 episode. I’m not Mormon, but have been intrigued by the culture for years. My interest was spurred after reading Under the Banner of Heaven (tho I understand that the LDS church doesn’t condone polygamy in modern time). I’d love to hear more about the wealth and holdings of the church. Boggled my mind to learn that the church is the biggest owner of farmland in my home state of Illinois!

Found this podcast through Haley's TikTok and it's been amazing to have content that I can relate so much to. Born and raised UT Mormon but I haven't been active for about 8 years. I've just recently started to come out of what I call my "denial" stage or "Switzerland" mindset. So I have a lot of things to work through regarding the church and this podcast has provided a sense of community and understanding I didn't know I needed. It's nice to know I'm not alone in the things I experienced. Love Haley and her bravery!

I’ve spent the last week-ish listening to every episode of Girlscamp, and after finally catching up today, I can truly say it’s one of my favorite (if not THE favorite) podcasts! Hayley does such an amazing job hosting, interviewing, explaining, telling stories, listening - all the things! I was born into the Mormon church, and I’ve spent at least the last decade (I’m 27) feeling very at odds with the church - especially the last few years, where I haven’t even wanted to call myself a member of it. This podcast has helped me to feel less alone in that, and there have seriously been a few mind blowing moments of hearing Hayley and her guests vocalize exactly what I had felt or experienced. It’s also helped me process and understand a lot about why I feel the way I do about certain aspects/teachings of the Mormon church. Hayley, keep doing what you’re doing! It’s helping so many people and I hope you know how appreciated it is! <3

I love this pod and I have listened since day one! Hayley knows her stuff and also has done such an amazing job at creating an ex- mormon community. Which soooo many of us need!! I love all the variety of topics and I am just laughing, crying and enjoying every minute! Never stop making these episodes! I look forward to them every week!💖

Haley does such an amazing job on the pod! She’s thoughtful, intelligent and witty! Such an interesting platform and I love each episode!
