The Midlife Revolution

Welcome to The Midlife Revolution, a podcast where we explore the small changes that lead to revolutionary transformations in our lives, hosted by Megan Conner, the author of “I Walked Through Fire To Get Here” and founder of Third Verse, a community dedicated to helping people make positive changes in their lives and relationships, starting with your relationship with yourself! She understands the daily grind of balancing family, work, and personal aspirations, and feeling stuck in repetitive patterns dictated by society and our own expectations.
The Midlife Revolution will challenge the conventional definition of midlife crisis and redefine it as a pivotal moment for self-discovery and transformation. Each episode offers practical insights and encouragement to embrace change, no matter how small, and to craft a life that aligns with your true passions and aspirations.
Tune in and embark on your own revolutionary journey. Sometimes, all it takes is one small change – perhaps like listening to a new podcast – to spark a revolution in your life.

Millions were Brainwashed Oct 16, 2024

Show notes

As a 7th generation Mormon, I talk about my experiences being indoctrinated into the LDS faith, and how the programs and rhetoric of the church leaders make it impossible for young people to have informed consent when choosing church membership.

I offer unique insights into indoctrination tactics and why it is that millions of LDS members believe that they are not in a cult. Is brainwashing too harsh of a description for what I endured? You be the judge.
