I deconstructed my Mormon faith down to the bone—and when my dad died, the deconstruction shit really hit the fan. Now, Girlscamp isn’t just about what’s fallen apart, but about exploring what might come next. Around the campfire, we’ll swap stories from life after faith shifts, laugh at the quirks of high-demand religion, and dig into the ways Mormonism shows up in our culture—from pop culture an... more

    I absolutely love this podcast! It’s very healing to listen to, and so many things that Hayley and her guests share on the show either resonate with me or open my eyes to something new!

  • I’m not LDS but…

    I’ve always had a fascination for high demand religions and I appreciate the way Hayley unpacks both the practices and beliefs commonly held by most LDS members. Sometimes episodes are fun, sometimes more deep or thought-provoking, but I thoroughly enjoy it!

  • So good

    I’ve been listening to Girlscamp for awhile now. It’s among my top 3 favorite podcasts. I’m a “neverMo”, but I’ve been deconstructing from evangelical religion for years. I’m much older than Hayley and I’m amazed at her insights, how articulate she is, and her wisdom especially at such a young age.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ask a Sex Expert 💌
Q: What is a common experience for people who come from religious backgrounds regarding their sexual fantasies?
Many people feel shame about their sexual fantasies, especially if those fantasies involve taboo or non-monogamous scenarios. It's important to unpack that shame and recognize that these thoughts are normal and not indicative of wanting to act on them.
Ask a Sex Expert 💌
Q: Where can I learn to expand my dirty talk vocabulary?
Explore different erotica sites, apps, and think about what you fantasize about; bring those thoughts into your dirty talk with your partner.
Ask a Sex Expert 💌
Q: Do you have any suggestions for reclaiming my feelings around masturbation after feeling shame?
Start with non-sexual sensate connections with your body, and reframe your thoughts about masturbation as a natural and safe act of self-soothing.
Ask a Sex Expert 💌
Q: How does compulsory religious abstinence affect someone's sexual experience?
Abstaining from sexual practice can lead to long-term psychological trauma, including connections to anxiety, depression, and may cause some long-term damage to one's relationship with their own sexuality.
Ask a Sex Expert 💌
Q: How do I deal with feelings of sadness about not being able to explore more of my sexuality with others?
Explore newness in your sexual relationship that does not necessarily mean newness without your spouse. Acknowledge the grief you feel and seek ways to recreate situations or experiences you feel you missed out on, such as role-playing.
