The Podcast where two ex-christian lesbians take on life without God.
Join Lauren and Carris as we discuss our way through our living life as out and proud lesbians having being raised in strict religious culture. Lauren grew up within the Mormon church and Carris grew up in the Baptist church.
Both of us married men, and realised out sexuality much later in life, we discuss the complexities of leaving high control religion, coming out as lesbians after being married to men and having children, and how we live our lives now with all the things that come up being ex christians and being later in life lesbians.

Customer Reviews
Love the Aussie queer ex-religious representation!
There’s a lot of ex-religious queer stories out there, but not many of them are Aussie. I am not usually a huge fan of conversational unscripted podcasts but I love listening to Lauren and Carris! An excellent podcast to listen to if you are an ex-religious queer yourself or if you want to understand the ex-religious queer experience better.
