It is a heartbreaking series that reveals the reality of a systemic problem that is not only covered up by church officials, but amplified by their only true intentions…avoiding lawsuits and avoiding bad media. Thousands of people have shared their stories of abuse and coverups at the hands of their leaders who were supposed to protect them. In a church that claims to be the one true church of God, their priorities of protecting their assets over their most vulnerable members, leaves us all bewildered and angry. Episode by episode, Alyssa Grenfell and Shelise recount these stories as shown on the show and give their thoughts as former Mormons.&nbsp;</p><p><a href=\"https://youtu.be/l7bimvKA7OA\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to watch on YouTube</a></p><p>Check out Alyssa interview’s with Shelise on her Channel:&nbsp; <a href=\"https://youtu.be/YEoxZu4Q8Ws\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://youtu.be/YEoxZu4Q8Ws</a></p><p>Find Alyssa on social media!</p><p>YT: <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/@alyssadgrenfell/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.youtube.com/@alyssadgrenfell/</a></p><p>IG:<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/alyssadgrenfell\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> https://www.instagram.com/alyssadgrenfell</a></p><p>TT: <a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@alyssadgrenfell\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.tiktok.com/@alyssadgrenfell</a></p><p><br></p><p>Thumbnail Photo of Alyssa provided by Ilana Panich-Linsman website</p><p>Subscribe to our<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@CultstoConsciousnessClip\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> C2C \"CLIPS\" Channel!</a></p><p>Support C2C - Any donations are welcome and appreciated to support the making of this podcast.</p><p><a href=\"https://cults-to-consciousness-shop.fourthwall.com/en-usd\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Find our FULL (uncensored) merch store here!</a></p><p>Patreon <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/cultstoconsciousness\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.patreon.com/cultstoconsciousness</a></p><p>Venmo @sheliseann</p><p>Find us on Social media!</p><p>Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/cultstoconsciousness\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@cultstoconsciousness</a>&nbsp;</p><p>Host Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sheliseann/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@sheliseann&nbsp;</a></p><p>Co Producer / Host <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/jonathan.rosales_\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@jonathan.rosales_&nbsp;</a></p><p>TikTok <a href=\"http://cults.to.consciousness\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@cults.to.consciousness&nbsp;</a></p><p>Twitter <a href=\"https://twitter.com/cultstocon\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@cultstocon</a>&nbsp;</p><p>**Disclaimer: Thanks for joining us at Cults to Consciousness.
