After 25 years of being a devout Mormon, when Lexi started questioning her faith, she had no support other than the online content made by ex-Mormon creators. When her father saw that she responded to and agreed with an ex-Mormon social media post, he snapped at her to keep her mouth shut about her opinions. This was the moment that fueled her to start her own ex-Mormon YouTube channel, and so Exmo Lex was born.
Since then, the last 6 years as a content creator have been quite the ride. Each week she’s furthered uncovered the discrepancies in the Mormon church, all while on her own deconstructing journey. From dealing with hate comments, to being disowned by her husband’s parents… today Exmo Lex dives into the Darkside of creating ex-Mormon content, and why she’s now choosing to step away.
