    Getting real
    Excellent conversation with the guests to explore the more difficult things people experience as they honestly question their faith.

    Love this podcast
    One of my favorite podcasts. The hosts ask thoughtful questions and are so gentle and kind. There have been many great episodes that have hit me right where I am in my parenting and deconstruction/reconstruction journey.

    I feel seen!
    I love hearing fellow deconstructing mamas share their journeys! It’s especially helpful as I deconstruct from Mormonism and try to navigate a new path with three young kiddos. I feel so seen. Deconstructing is hard work but also so freaking liberating, and I just find myself exhaling when I listen to these mamas and guests talk about better ways to be Christian.

    Grace and Space
    I’m grateful for the message being shared on this podcast and the guests are wonderful. I don’t always share the same concerns discussed about certain aspects of church or gospel, but that’s what is so wonderful about these conversations. They’re so compassionate and recognize everyone’s journey and approach to deconstruction will be different.

    Finally someone’s talking about church culture
    It’s so refreshing to listen to Lizz and Esther talk about all these issues I wanted to talk to my parents about growing up but it was basically forbidden, or at least strongly discouraged. Honestly, I don’t think my parents, who are now in their late 80s, knew what to do with my questions. They bring so many issues to the forefront, and shed a light on them, creating a positive journey. Ladies, thank you for sharing.💗-Lisa S.

    A podcast not about Truth but dangerous opinion
    Many of the people attempting to redefine the meaning of “deconstruction” are attempting to redefine the meaning of Christianity. Do not be deceived by them. —Samuel Sey

    A gift you can’t wait to unwrap
    I love this podcast! It has been something I’ve been waiting for and can connect with on so many levels. As a post evangelical, mom of 2 littles, and reconstructing on the daily, I have found solace here. Thank you

    The Community You’ve Been Missing
    Community is one of the things that people who are deconstructing express that they miss the most. That certainly was true for me. Tuning in to, “The Deconstructing Mamas” podcast for the first time instantaneously made me feel seen- and that, after years of flailing around wondering if I could ever possibly fit anywhere with the way my beliefs were evolving- that I belonged. While Esther and Lizz are both Moms and will occasionally talk about parenting, their individual stories are so powerful and relatable for anyone to listen to. It’s hard to find genuine voices brave enough to process this path in real time- but that’s what all of us really need who are in it together. I can’t wait for the next episode!

    Raw, Real, and Vulnerable
    I am at the adult parenting season. Yet I am so much a work in progress “unraveling and reraveling” these first two episodes were like a suave for the soul, love that it will be a place to continue learning, and being encouraged. Also learning to hold space for the uncertain, the mystery. Thank you,

    So good!
    Good stuff, real, open. Just sharing life! And I’ll say, ‘Not just for mommas’.
  • bdph77
    Thank you!
    I am so excited and grateful for this podcast! As a deconstructing middle aged mother of 8 and grandmother of 5 who has and is struggling through my own mental and physical health crisis(es) I need this in my life! Thank you for being vulnerable and being willing to put yourselves out there! I very much look forward to future episodes of your podcast!

    Honest, Vulnerable, Compassionate
    There are so many words that you could use to describe this first episode of the first season of this podcast. I’ll stick to 3: honest, vulnerable, and compassionate. I love Lizz’s honesty and vulnerability when she shares her story. I’ve been blessed to hear it multiple times and each and every time she is so honest and vulnerable. I can’t imagine the amount of fear she goes through each time she shares. I appreciate her story. The compassion that both she and Esther talk about for their listeners is so genuine. I can’t wait for the next episode to be released. You hear in this episode from both Lizz and Esther about “Being Jesus with skin on” and the imagery is so beautiful. I am very blessed to call Lizz a friend and each time I talk with her she is just that “Jesus with skin on”. While I personally don’t have kids of my own, hopefully one day, there is so much to learn and grow from their stories. I will be listening on a weekly basis and I am so thankful they have created this space. Thank you Deconstructing Mamas, love your work! ❤️
