Finding Paradise - Episode 010 - Ocho

Hey folks. It's been a hot minute since we've shared any new stories here, but we're gonna remedy that right meow. We're so happy to be back, and for this episode we welcome our friend Ocho to the podcast. This is our first story that isn't related to growing up in the JWs. We had a great time talking about his life and what his idea of paradise entails. We talk about Catholicism, mental health counseling, infinite universes, live music, and whether Meatloaf (RIP) was a top or a bottom. It was a great time, and we hope you enjoy Ocho's story as much as we enjoyed recording it.

Episode 001 - Tyler

Welcome to our inaugural episode. We're so glad to have you with us. With this podcast, we hope to share some of our stories with you, and give others a platform to share their own experiences. Along the way, often we find that paradise isn't a location, but sometimes just a state of being. In our first episode, we introduce ourselves a bit, as we talk about Tyler and his journey.

Pinkies Up - 003 - Cheryl's Story

Welcome to episode three! We've known Cheryl for some time. For myself (Tyler), she was one of the first friends that I was able to make after leaving the JWs. So I'm especially grateful to her for taking the time to sit down and talk with us. We hear her experience with leaving an ex still in the religion, and the impact it has had on the lives of her and her children. And while things have seemed to come around well, it's never without its challenges. Join us as Cheryl tells her story. Mentioned: Cheryl's daughter Liv is an INCREDIBLY talented hairstylist. Check out her work at the link below! https://www.instagram.com/vividlyliv/

Finding Paradise - Episode 009 - One Year Reunion... The Gang's Al(most) Here

So about a year ago, we did a thing. Ethan and I (Tyler) shared our stories of leaving the Jehovah’s Witness religion with the world. We talked about all the good, bad and ugly that comes with that choice. Some people have listened to it, and some have been brave enough to share their stories as well. Over the past 375 days, we’ve laughed, cried, drank some beers, told some (mostly dirty) jokes, said some (ok, a lot of) curses, and just generally supported each other through all of it. And we’ve all learned a little more about what it means to find paradise. To everyone that’s joined us along the way, we can’t thank you enough. Especially Amanda, for continuing to subject herself to the antics of a couple f****n’ clownshoes in a dark smoky basement. So… We’re having a reunion. We’ve been planning this for a while, and we’re happy to finally get nearly everyone that’s honored our silly little show with their presence back together in one episode. And you’re all family now, so we’ll see you same time next year. And hopefully we’ll have some new faces with us. Thank you for checking us out. And if you want to share your story, please reach out to us. - the management

In our second episode, we welcome our first guest. Thank you so much to Tiffy for sharing her story with us. She talks about her experience growing up in a "divided household" as a child. Throughout she shares her advice for others as they navigate their exit from the JWs when there's children involved. We appreciate her courage to sit down and talk with us and we hope you enjoy it too!
