Building What Was Never Given

Episode 21

Thursday, January 15, 2026 • Duration 01:27:00

In this episode of Her Audacity, we sit down with Donia Jessop, Mayor of Hildale, Utah, to talk about leadership, faith transitions, and rebuilding a community after deep hurt.

Donia shares what it took to step into public leadership, challenge long-standing systems, and move her town forward—often in the face of criticism and resistance. She reflects on motherhood, vulnerability, accountability, and the strength it takes to keep choosing progress when going backward would be easier.

This conversation is about standing firm, leading with humanity, and remembering one essential truth: you are enough.

Content note: This episode includes discussion of high-control religion and emotional harm. Listener discretion advised.

Leaving the FLDS: A Husband’s Story

Episode 20

Thursday, December 18, 2025 • Duration 01:04:00

Hosted by Nikki and Ceci, this episode of Her Audacity welcomes their first male guest, Dubby. In an honest and deeply personal conversation, Dubby shares his experience growing up in the FLDS, losing his father at a young age, being pulled out of school to work, and eventually leaving the church in the middle of the night with nothing but his tools and a bag of clothes.

Together, Nikki, Ceci, and Dubby talk through co-parenting, fatherhood, marriage, work ethic, and the long process of unlearning survival patterns while building a steady, loving family. This episode offers a rare male perspective on leaving high-control religion, navigating relationships without a roadmap, and choosing peace, responsibility, and presence in everyday life.

Raw, grounded, and unexpectedly tender, this conversation is for anyone rebuilding after control, loss, or starting over — and proof that healing doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful.

The Power of Choosing Yourself with Dr. Kelly Lamoreaux

Episode 19

Thursday, December 11, 2025 • Duration 01:04:28

In this episode, Ceci and Nikki sit down with Kelly, a sports nutritionist, dentist, and fitness model—to explore her journey from growing up without religion, to joining the LDS church as a teenager, to surviving a five-year abusive relationship, and ultimately rebuilding a life rooted in confidence and autonomy. Together, they examine the parallels between domestic violence and high-control religion, the way manipulation and isolation take hold, and how leaving a belief system can feel just as destabilizing as leaving a partner. Kelly shares how education, community, and reconnecting with her intuition changed the trajectory of her life, eventually leading her into dentistry, motherhood, and a new understanding of faith and identity. This conversation dives into healing, resilience, and the moment a woman decides she will no longer make herself small.

Episode 17: Shame vs. Accountability

Episode 18

Thursday, December 4, 2025 • Duration 34:44

What if the way you bring up hurt is the very thing keeping you from real repair? In this episode, Ceci and Nikki unpack a simple line that hit like a freight train: “Shame and accountability can’t coexist.” They talk about learning to correct “spicy” kids without shaming them, apologizing to their own children for past patterns, and why some friendships don’t survive when accountability is met with blame instead of forgiveness.

They also open up about what it looks like to forgive a parent who may never be able to own the harm they caused, all while trying to raise their kids differently than how they were raised in high-control religion. This conversation is for anyone who’s ready to communicate hurt without attacking character, make room for real apologies, and slowly rebuild trust with the people they love—starting with themselves.

Layla also reflects on the loss of her baby sister and Warren’s chilling reaction — a moment that revealed far more about who he really was. This conversation offers an unfiltered look at the FLDS world, the dynamics within Warren’s household, and the journey that led to her eventual departure in 2013.

Episode 16

Thursday, November 13, 2025 • Duration 39:05

A craving for a road trip to Moab sparks a deeper reflection on independence, motherhood, and the kind of community that helps people rebuild. Ceci and Nikki share what it was like to live under control disguised as order inside the FLDS, from food restrictions to parenting expectations, and how life after has been about learning to trust, nurture, and provide in new ways.

Through stories of the storehouse system, raising children, and finding humor in the chaos, this episode offers an honest look at resilience, self discovery, and the small ways healing happens every day.

Episode 13: The Peace in Imperfection

Episode 14

Thursday, October 30, 2025 • Duration 51:37

Ceci and Nikki dives into the roots of perfectionism, where it starts, how it shows up, and what it costs. Ceci opens up about growing up in an environment built on constant correction and unreachable standards, and how that shaped the pressure she still feels to do everything just right before allowing herself to rest or connect.

Nikki shares how being misdiagnosed with advanced lung cancer forced her to release control and see how easily life moves on, even when you stop holding it all together.

Together, they talk about unlearning the belief that our worth is tied to productivity, redefining what it means to be “enough,” and creating homes and lives where peace matters more than perfection.

Season 1 · Episode 13

Thursday, October 23, 2025 • Duration 01:11:51

When Katie lost custody of her daughter in 2023, the world around her assumed she’d failed as a mother. What few understood is how often the system fails women who are simply trying to protect their children.

In this powerful conversation, Katie opens up to Ceci and Nikki about the moment everything changed, how the court system stripped her of custody, how she fought to get her daughter back, and what it’s like to grieve a child who’s still alive.

Through heartbreak, Katie found purpose. She built Mom’s Guide to Survive, a nonprofit helping mothers find stability, resources, and support through impossible circumstances. Together, they talk about the broken family court system, the courage it takes to keep showing up, and how one woman’s audacity can spark real change.

Episode 12

Thursday, October 16, 2025 • Duration 01:05:30

Ceci and Nikki open up about separating spirituality from the systems that once dictated it and how leaving the FLDS changed their view of God, why they no longer believe anyone should stand between a person and their Creator, and what it means to rediscover prayer, peace, and discernment on their own terms.

They share personal stories about unlearning fear-based faith, healing their relationship with God through nature, motherhood, and marriage, and learning to follow intuition instead of outside approval. From deconstructing religion to redefining submission and leadership, this conversation is both raw and redemptive. A reminder that faith and freedom can coexist.
