Just binged Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2, and it's officially wilder, juicier, and just as Mormon-y as ever! I'm breaking down everything—from messy swinging drama and jaw-dropping plastic surgery transformations to cringy Utah accents ("Did she say peelow?!") and the behind-the-scenes tea on MomTok’s petty feuds. Join me for hot takes, deep dives into generational trauma, and my ExMormon insights on all the wild ways Mormon culture still shapes their lives. Buckle up, like, subscribe, and let's gossip about Utah's most outrageous show!
