Before we begin, we want to share a quick note with our listeners.
Today’s episode includes a personal story involving a child’s gender transition, faith, and serious illness. This conversation reflects one family’s lived experience and is shared with care, honesty, and love.

Our intention is not to persuade or debate, but to create space for understanding and compassion. We encourage everyone to engage with empathy.

In Part 1, Jordyn & Jess sit down with lifelong friend Anna for a deeply personal conversation about parenting the child in front of you — especially when life takes a turn you never expected. Anna shares what it was like when her child came to her and said, “This is who I am,” the early signs, the questions no one prepares you for, and what choosing love can look like even when you don’t have all the answers.

We also talk Utah culture vs. Church culture, what “sustaining” means in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and how family dynamics can shift when people process the same story differently.

Part 2 continues next week.

🎙️ Episode Recap: Press Chaos, Glam Drama & That Cliffhanger Call

This episode is pure chaos from the very first second—because yes, we forgot to hit record and had to relive the madness all over again. Welcome to First & Feral.

We break down everything from the LA press tour fallout to glam room side-eye, ET interview tension, and why the vibes were deeply off. Taylor doing her own makeup? Whitney’s questionable outfit choices? Separate cars, silent stares, and a press event that spiraled fast.

We unpack:

• The Demi vs. Miranda confrontation (touch vs. shove—let’s be serious)

• Gaslighting, manipulation, and why the cease-and-desist story does NOT add up

• Why Dakota continues to be the biggest red flag walking

• The dads, the triple-stack stroller, and why LA would not clock that as “Mormon”

• That emotional hotel scene with Taylor, her family, and the unanswered questions

• And finally… that phone call that ends the episode on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger 👀

It’s messy. It’s emotional. It’s hilarious. And it’s everything we love about MomTok drama when the masks come off.

This week on First & Feral: Utah Unfiltered, we’re recapping Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (SLMW) Season 3, Episode 8 — and it’s a LOT.

We break down the episode’s biggest moments: Taylor and Dakota looking way too happy before the truth drops, Whitney vs. Demi and the “make it make sense” dinner that somehow ends with Whitney apologizing (???), and why the Marciano drama + texts + “Martino” nickname are giving master manipulator energy.

We also talk about Mikayla and Jace in couples therapy, trauma, intimacy, and why watching her shut down is both heartbreaking and eye-opening. Then we shift into the bigger Utah conversation — Pride in Provo, BYU honor code pressure, LGBTQ+ support in Mormon culture, and Jen’s faith crisis as she steps into Dancing With the Stars prep and starts questioning what “being a good LDS woman” even means.

If you’re here for Utah mom talk drama, Mormon culture hot takes, reality TV recap, and the messiest relationship choices imaginable… you’re in the right place.

Welcome back to First & Feral: Utah Unfiltered 🎙️ In Episode 12, we’re breaking down Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (SLMW) Season 3, Episode 7—aka the Stagecoach episode that had us yelling at the TV.

From the Desert Disco brand house chaos and MomTok content farming, to Jen showing up sick, Whitney reposting Demi (and the whole group spiraling), and Taylor + Dakota proving once again that chemistry does not equal healthy… we cover it all. Plus: the Lana Del Rey moment, the “how do they have time for TikToks?” mystery, the raw bacon situation (criminal), and the relationship tension that’s getting harder to watch—especially Jace + Michaela.

We’re talking toxic relationships, jealousy, co-parenting drama, Utah culture, and why this season feels like it’s building toward a reunion-level storm.

✨ If you’re watching SLMW, living for MomTok drama, or love a spicy reality TV recap, this one’s for you.

This week on First & Feral: Utah Unfiltered, we’re diving into the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives chaos—starting with our reaction to The Viall Files interview with Jordan and why the accountability felt… missing.

Then we get into everything blowing up in the group: Demi vs. Jesse, the Marciano controversy, and why the “victim” conversation is getting complicated for the cast (and for viewers). We talk Hulu event drama, the awkward glam-room tension (poor Macy), Whitney’s comeback energy, Taylor doing her own makeup like the feral icon she is, and yes—Fruity Pebbles Gate / “Piss Gate” and whether it’s real… or a storyline everyone’s cashing in on.

Add in Kardashian sightings, jewel tone reunion fashion, Stagecoach prep, and alliances shifting fast—and you’ve got an episode that’s messy, funny, and very Utah.

🎙️ New episodes drop every Tuesday. Don’t forget to follow, rate, and stay a little feral.

Demi is in full master manipulator mode this episode, and we’re breaking down every receipt—from the Hydrojug chaos with Layla, to the Marciano rumors, to how she keeps triggering Jessie, Jen, and basically the entire cast. We also dive into Michaela and Jace’s marriage, EMDR therapy, and what low libido, shame, and past trauma look like behind the “perfect” Utah couple image.

Then we get into the Dancing with the Stars dream: Whitney’s wild outfits, clout-chasing accusations, that emotional car moment, and whether she was chosen for the show… or engineered the drama to make it happen. Plus brunch at “brunch hard,” MomTok friendships, Taylor as the voice of reason, and why these Utah relationships are starting to feel a little too incestuous.
