   Ep350: Letters to a Young Ex Mormon w/ Madison Daniels

   What happens after you leave Mormonism? In this episode of Mormonish Podcast, we sit down with Madison Daniels, author of Letters to a Young Ex-Mormon: A Field Guide for Moving On, for a thoughtful conversation about navigating life after a faith transition. Madison shares some of his own personal history, what his journey out of Mormonism looked like, and what ultimately inspired him to write this book. We also talk about what he hopes the book can offer people who find themselves rebuilding their lives outside of the LDS Church. Letters to a Young Ex-Mormon isn’t a book about why someone should leave Mormonism. Instead, it focuses on what comes next—reconstructing identity, finding meaning and purpose, navigating changing relationships, processing grief and uncertainty, and deciding what parts of your former religious tradition may still be worth carrying forward. (Apple Podcasts) Madison explains the unique “letters” format of the book and why he wanted to create something that could serve as a practical and compassionate field guide for people moving through religious deconstruction and into the next chapter of their lives. Join us for a fascinating discussion about leaving, rebuilding, and learning how to move forwardThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

Published 23 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And so that's kind of the approach that I took was a much more grounded spiritual approach to this because this is not just the surface level stuff about truth claims. This is about This is about your life. This is about the fact that something was so important to you and made up such a big part of your identity. And now you're stepping away from it. Now what do you do? How do you reconstruct your sense of self and your sense of community? And how do you engage with the world? And how do you see yourself in context with the larger story of what's going on around you? Because Mormonism and the church was the thing that mediated that for decades. […]
