Serving a mission expanded her worldview through profound spiritual experiences. Connecting deeply with investigators and other sisters fostered an independent, confident faith centered on Christ. But returning home, expectations to marry quickly resumed, and with them, that message of being less-than without a husband. Still single, Maven grappled with her place in a church that couldnāt seem to value what she offered on her own.

Okay, I can't even DEAL with the part about about hopes and plans never being too solid in case you're "redirected." Especially as a woman, this has been incredibly damaging. š Biggest wound Mormonism gave me. Thank you for articulating that, Maven.

Thank you SO SO much for featuring Maven!! As an asexual single adult exmo of the Oregon Trail generation I feel represented in a way I've been needing lately! I can relate to so much of her story so far, even with our different experiences! Thank you Maven for sharing and being vulnerable. Your voice is needed in this space and has been so valuable to me to hear!

Maven!!! Thank you for putting in words the invisibility and shame that women go through in the temple ceremony. I had to rewind and shed some tears a few times. āFaceless white blobsā is the perfect description. The pain is still there. Thank you for articulating and sharing this experience.

The red dress story had me in tears. So much empathy for her. Thanks for sharing, so many others can connect to this experience.

Maven is WONDERFUL! She speaks so truthfully and from the heart! All good things for her! And Jen is such a wonderful addition to Mormon Stories. Jen exhibits such honest empathy and compassion toward the interviewees!

Record scratch moment, LOL. Gold! When I was 17 years old, I asked a non-mormon boyfriend to investigate the church. I was born into the church, attended everything, studied seminary, thought I knew everything. Ah, no. As he is studying there was a line in the investigator handbook that said, ā A womanās role is to satisfy the husbandās physical needsā. Record scratch. He was like, āHave you seen this?ā. So, no. I hadnāt. Maven is right they groom, gaslight and manipulate women to believe God wants this and it makes you worthy. š

John's response at 2:21:17. Not only is consent not discussed but neither is sex in general. People are told never to do it and then flip on the sexual light switch after marriage and there is supposed to be a perfect sex life without any dysfunction. This is a common problem in evangelical churches as well. If you tell people enough times that sex is bad expect sexual dysfunction after marriage.

Of alllll the Mormon Stories interviews I've listened to, Maven telling her story has touched me on many deep and personal levels. No, my experience hasn't been the same, but I identify with many of her internalized thoughts growing up. I've heard a little of her story with Bill Reel & RFM, but this depth is blowing me away. John, thank you for letting her talk and not interrupting or at all side tracking her. In my post TBM perspective Maven is what I now view as one of the "elect" souls. What a beautiful human being!

I remember clearly when I was a new nursing graduate when an elderly lady called me to her bedside and she told me that she was afraid of dying. I had no experience with this but I was led to just be present and that gave her some reassurance that she would not be alone. I told her that she would always have the Spirit to be with her and that she would not be alone in death. It seemed to give her comfort and she died the next day. It was one of the best experiences of my life to know that I would be led to help others in their time of need even whenever I felt unexperienced or trained.

Thank you for sharing Maven. Maven is such a lovely strong woman.

Loved the part where she talks about the Japanese bath house. So much body positivity! So wholesome! Thank you Maven!

A terrific and unique voice to have in the faith transition space. I have enjoyed your support in my journey. Thanks Maven!

Thankyou for your activism Maven and elevating the voices of post Mormon women.

Such genuine brutal honesty is so rare. Itās really hard to admit ignorance or talk about the times in your life when you held quite conservative/homophobic and racist views and Iām glad this is a safe space where Maven could be completely honest about her upbringing as itāll help set the stage for her faith transition story. She sounds like an amazing intellectual and kind person, canāt wait to hear the rest of her story!
28 |
Maven thank you so much for delineating your experience with such honesty and detail. I can so identify with you. My experience was a little different but my concerns are very similar. My faithfulness was coopted and until you described it, I had no idea how much my beliefsĀ and conditioning caused me to betray my sacred self. I am still trying to tease this apart. You have done us a real service.

When you grow up on a shoestring, your view of middleclass people is almost magical. I understand what Maven is saying, when she describes her vision of the perfect family living space. The challenges involved in life without financial security are imperceptible to people who have an extra living room or a basement den or a ride to after school activities. I see you, Maven. I remember those things too.

Maven that story at around 1 hour and 25 minutes in broke my soul because something like that happened to me in YW's as well... That's just heartbreaking š
20 |
Maven! I was so excited when I saw that you were going to be on Mormon Stories. I already love you from Mormonism Live.
29 |
Remarkable interview! Maven illustrates perfectly why it's important to hear the female side of being lds. The sexism within the church is blatant; but women blame themselves for noticing that fact and being troubled by it.

Maven is just an unspeakably wholesome person. And so genuine in telling her story. It really is a gift to the community when these experiences are shared. It can't be easy... but its a great act of service to the rest of us. And kudos to the MSP team for building a platform that allows these stories out into the world to do their good work. Looking forward to the other parts when they release.
