Episode description as stored
Joining John & Mergi Dehlin today is Chelsey Rencher Liaga, here to share her Mormon story of how she was “groomed” for Mormon motherhood, and how this hindered the development of her own mental health and self identity.
Chelsey was born in Gilbert, Arizona (a heavily Mormon community) and had a typical Mormon upbringing. She suffered from perfectionism as a child, which later led to body dysmorphia issues and an eating disorder that affected her time on her mission in Spokane, Washington.
After her mission she met her husband at BYU, and they quickly started building their perfect Mormon family. Chelsey describes the stress she felt early on in their marriage to cook, clean, and uphold the household, and how she eventually overcame this stressor.
She also details her career as a therapist, her experiences as a working mother, and working at LDS family services.
Topics include:
-Perfectionism
-Purity culture
-Motherhood
-Mixed faith marriage
-Mixed race marriage
-Mental Health
This is a pervasive issue in Mormonism that we know many Mormon women can relate to, and hope that Chelsey’s story can help other LDS women feel seen.
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses eating disorders. Please listen responsibly.
