In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Frew, life coach, author, and bold decision maker, to talk about her remarkable journey through betrayal, healing, and self-rediscovery.

Jessica shares the deeply personal story of her first marriage and the life-altering discovery that her husband was gay and had an affair with a man. Instead of allowing the experience to break her, she chose a path of compassion, growth, and radical acceptance. Today, they are close friends and co-parents, offering a powerful example of what healing and emotional maturity can look like.

Through her journey, Jessica came to a profound realization: other people do not complete us. We become whole by reconnecting with ourselves. She opens up about releasing expectations, trusting her inner voice, and rebuilding her sense of identity and self-worth. Now, she helps other women do the same by guiding them through betrayal, divorce, and major life transitions.

Jessica is also the author of Shove Your Shoulds, a transformative book about letting go of external pressures and making courageous decisions. You can download the book for free on her website.

Leaving Mormonism, Part 2: Marriage, Motherhood, and Reclaiming Our Bodies

In Part 2 of our conversation on leaving Mormonism, I’m joined again by my sister, Sharon Johnson, as we go deeper into what it actually looked like to unravel our beliefs—and rebuild our lives—from the inside out.

We talk honestly about our past and present views on marriage, motherhood, and our roles as wives, and how much of who we thought we were was shaped by obedience, fear, and the constant sense of being watched… and corrected.

We share what surprised us most after leaving:

• Realizing how sacred garments kept us hidden, disconnected from our bodies, and numb to ourselves

• How we lived feeling like children who were always in trouble, never quite trusted to make our own decisions

• The deep conditioning of not trusting our own minds—because we were taught they could be hijacked and deceived

• The disorienting realization that many things we were taught were “bad”… actually aren’t bad at all

• And the strange, sometimes funny, sometimes painful experience of learning how to be normal adults—like not knowing how to act at a bar, or navigating everyday things that were once forbidden

This episode isn’t about bashing a religion. It’s about waking up. About grieving what we lost, questioning what we were taught, and slowly learning how to trust ourselves—our bodies, our instincts, our desires—again.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, afraid of your own thoughts, or unsure how to live outside the rules you were given… this conversation is for you.

You’re not broken.
You were trained not to trust yourself.
And you can learn how to come home.

So many women are living with pelvic floor dysfunction and have no idea help even exists.

In this episode of Wake Her Up, I’m joined by pelvic floor specialist Jana Danielson, founder of Coochball and co owner of Bloom Better Supplements, for a conversation every woman deserves to hear.

We talk about the deep frustration of women being dismissed, ignored, or never offered guidance when it comes to pelvic floor health. Jana breaks down why the pelvic floor matters far beyond bladder leaks or postpartum recovery and how a healthy pelvic floor impacts confidence, pleasure, posture, core strength, and overall quality of life.

This conversation is about reclaiming power in a part of the body women are rarely taught to understand, let alone care for.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, struggled with pain, pressure, or intimacy, or sensed that something wasn’t right but didn’t know where to turn, this episode is for you.

Because when women are supported, informed, and embodied, everything changes.
