Episode notes
- In this episode, I interview the wise and delightful Suzy Baker, co-founder of The Psychedelic Assembly. We explore her life in Mormonism in Alabama, Utah and New York City, as well as the dark side of dating her zone leader on her mission and the events that led her out of the church. Cozy up with Carah with Suzy for this special reveal of Suzy's mission experience. Serving the Lord? And serving the lust. And shame. A place where hopes, consent, and a whole lot of trauma collide. We discuss the pressure to boost baptism numbers, and the surprising events that led to her zone leader asking Suzy to pray to fall in love with him.
- We hope this story celebrates the power of humanity and community while dishing out some sage advice on spotting red flags, including what Suzy wishes she could tell her younger self.
