How do I share my doubts about the LDS Church with my family? Ask Dr. Julie Hanks

In this episode I talk with Michelle and answer the question “How do I share my doubts about the LDS Church with my family?” Michelle’s parents are both very religious, and she is unsure how to share the news of her faith journey with them.

Part of being honest about where you are on a faith journey is often disappointing your parents. This is especially hard for Michelle who has felt pressure to be one of her parents’ children who stays in the faith. We talk about how she will lose that role in her family when she tells her parents, and that that will be sad. It’s okay for her to grieve that role, and it’s also okay for her to be true to herself.
