Are We Allowed to Talk About This Yet?

Nick Flora is back, and we’re talking the death of old relationship beliefs and formation of new views on the role of marriage in romantic relationships. Do we even need marriage, guys? Is it for everyone? Does marriage really have to be the CULMINATING crown on every successful romantic relationship? Spoiler: we really don’t think it has to be.   Follow us on socials: IG: @AreWeAllowedPodcast@SuzyGWriter@NickFlora Facebook: facebook.com/areweallowedtotalkaboutthisyet Email us questions, comments, and suggestions: areweallowedpodcast@gmail.com

This week we pivot into the the theme of the death of marriages. In this episode, I talk with my sister, Sam, about her marriage and the elements that led to its demise. We cover the topics of pornography addiction, dysfunctional familial cycles, and more. (If you're not LDS and have been wondering "what is up with Mormons and the porn thing?", we cover that.)    Follow us on socials: IG: @areweallowedpodcast   @suzygwriter Facebook: facebook.com/areweallowedtotalkaboutthisyet Email us questions, comments, and suggestions: areweallowedpodcast@gmail.com

Episode 8 starts a pivot into the death of relationships, marriages, and how divorce, while painful, doesn't have to be a dirty word.

Furthering our conversations on fluctuating belief systems, today Suzy G talks with Jared Nathan Garrett, author and podcaster. Jared grew up in a nomadic cult/commune and left as a teenager to find his own way. He later converted to the LDS church, of which he's now been a member for 25 years.  Find Jared's books, podcast, and more about his story here: www.jaredgarrett.com https://anchor.fm/tales-from-a-cult-insider https://www.amazon.com/Jared-Nathan-Garrett/e/B00MNHF2J2?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1560268235&sr=1-1   Follow Suzy G and this podcast on social media: Instagram: @arewellowedpodcast   @suzygwriter Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AreWeAllowedToTalkAboutThisYet  Twitter: @itsmesuzyg
