In this episode, Isabela and Hannah share their experiences with Mormon bishops. Isabela recounts how her father's role as a bishop affected her encounters with other bishops, detailing instances of unwarranted questioning and unjust treatment.

Both guests call for a reevaluation of the church's interview practices and emphasize the need for open conversations and support for individuals navigating their sexual experiences within the Mormon community. They highlight the damaging effects of mistrust and shame perpetuated by leaders. Listen in to gain insights into the impact of the church's teachings on personal and familial dynamics and to understand the urgency for change in these practices.
