There is a life on the other side of Leaving the church.

And it’s a great one.

Hi, I’m Leah Tait.

A former LDS mom, who faced the darkest lows and steepest rebuild when I left the Church.

Choosing to leave is a powerful decision. One that will shake up everything you’ve ever known. You don’t have to walk this alone.

Like a Jenga tower. That’s how it felt.

As a mom, you want what’s best for your kids. Always. And you’ve been taught that the Church is best. For you. Your family. Your belief system. So choosing to leave was not an easy Sunday afternoon choice.

You left. Or you’re preparing to. You’re pulling that LDS block out of the Jenga tower, praying it won’t all fall down. Your marriage. Your relationship with your children. Your community. If they crumble, the effects will be devastating.

Here’s a secret. Some will fall. But what’s on the other side is a life that’s yours. And you have everything it takes to do what’s best for you and your family.

I felt this queasiness come over me. I wanted to puke.

‘I just feel so bad for everyone else who isn’t in this Church cause they don’t have THE truth like we do’ she said. Are we elites? Is this really how the Church feels? NO! My whole heart rejected that idea and apparently, my body did too.

Say yes to help

No one. And I mean no one, should have to walk this path alone.

1:1 Coaching

Together, you can rebuild a life that looks different, but more incredible than you could’ve ever pictured it.

Group Support

The grief, loss, and fear you’re feeling are beyond normal. Find your confidence and heal next to moms going through the same experience.

Courses

Learn at your own pace. With courses for every stage of your leaving journey, you can get the support you need, exactly when you need it.

There’s another side. I promise.

I’ve been to therapy. I’ve tried medications. After sessions with Leah I feel better than I have with every other avenue I’ve been down. Leah takes the time to teach me how to coach myself. She offers tools and worksheets so this won’t be a lifetime in life coaching. I’ve actually learned how to manage my thoughts. I’ve even been able to help my kids with their big emotional thoughts too. I have referred Leah to my friends and family and all have had positive experiences and speak highly of her program.

I had no idea what to expect coming into Leah’s program. I was beyond pleasantly surprised on the mental growth I experienced in a few short weeks. Not only did I notice a difference in my thinking and attitude, but my husband, friends and extended family also noticed. I cannot express all the “light bulb” moments I experienced! After years and years of therapy and thinking about the past I feel as though I am finally happily moving forward! I look forward to my future sessions with Leah!

It {coaching with Leah} has changed my life in ways I can’t even describe. It has helped me to change my way of thinking and dealing with my every day life. It has made me a better mother to my kids! It has made me be better to myself! I’m a happier me. Therapy was great for talking it out, but life coaching is the next step to the healing process!

A former LDS mom who now helps other moms leave the Church and build a new life – if that’s what they want, of course.

I left the church 2 years ago. ‘I’m done!’ With what? my husband replies ‘The Church.’ It shoots out of me like a rocket. It took every urge not to slap my own hand over my mouth. But at that moment, after an hour of tearful conversation with my supportive husband, it felt like the kettlebells on my chest had been lifted.

Sure, I was fearful. *cue the racing thoughts* My friends? Will they still be friends with me? What are my kids going to say? What happens now?

I need to tell people.

My son was angry at me. My parents wouldn’t respond. Within what felt like a matter of minutes, everything crumbled. I spiraled into the depths of grief, hopelessness, and loss. You expect leaving to give you this sense of freedom. Like a rushing river, but it doesn’t. Especially not initially. You drip out of your shell, burning everything down in your path. You find confidence little by little. You traverse into the pits of emotional hell you never thought you’d experience. You may regret things. You may feel like you made a horrible mistake. I felt all of the above.

But one day, you wake up. You look at the life you built. It looks so new. So different from your ‘before.’ And you smile. Because you now trust your own intuition. You know you are raising a family and loving them, making decisions that suit them best. Not the Church’s interests. You love your different life. That dark patch is worth it. You did it. And you are pure power for saying ‘enough is enough’ and rebuilding something that fills you up.

This is possible. Even if it feels like absolute bananas to try and envision it right now. I’ve felt everything from wanting to end it all to loving the life I created. And I’m ready to help you do the same whenever you’re ready.

Even if your nights are marked by screaming, crying and praying for an end to this devastation – the life that’s waiting for you after leaving the Church is bright, authentic, and yours.
