She was groomed to be a stay at home wife and mother, with so much emphasis placed on virtue and virginity. When she was assaulted at 14, she was told to repent and read a book authored by a high LDS authority which said she would be better off dead than without her virtue. When she didn’t succeed, she gave her life even more to the church and when leaders, years later, told her to marry a man/stranger who had also just taken advantage of her, she called off her engagement to the love of her life and complied. Though devout and active members of the church, her parents were not allowed to attend her temple wedding due to extreme poverty making them unable to pay tithing. </p>\n<p><a href=\"https://youtu.be/qqcVYErkLXc\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Click here to watch on YouTube </u></a></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Watch pt 2 here: <a href=\"https://youtu.be/n_N_P5RHhfM?si=dHeLa0ROKsXkRDU3\" target=\"_blank\"><u>https://youtu.be/n_N_P5RHhfM?si=dHeLa0ROKsXkRDU3</u></a></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Find Jennie!</p>\n<p>TikTok @lifetaketwo <a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@lifetaketwo?_t=8oifKuMyiQY&amp;_r=1\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.tiktok.com/@lifetaketwo?_t=8oifKuMyiQY&amp;_r=1</a></p>\n<p>IG @lifetaketwojennie <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/lifetaketwojennie?igsh=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA==\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.instagram.com/lifetaketwojennie?igsh=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA==</a></p>\n<p>YouTube @lifetaketwo7662 <a href=\"https://m.youtube.com/@lifetaketwo7662\" target=\"_blank\">https://m.youtube.com/@lifetaketwo7662</a></p>\n<p>Linktree <a href=\"https://linktr.ee/lifetaketwo\" target=\"_blank\"><u>https://linktr.ee/lifetaketwo</u></a></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>We want to meet you in real life!  Come adventure with us on our 2nd C2C VACATION!  <a href=\"https://trovatrip.com/trip/north-america/mexico/mexico-with-shelise-sola-oct-2025\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Click here to go to the official booking page</u></a></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Subscribe to our<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@CultstoConsciousnessClip\" target=\"_blank\"><u> C2C \"CLIPS\" Channel!</u></a></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Support C2C - Any donations are welcome and appreciated to support the making of this podcast.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://cults-to-consciousness-shop.fourthwall.com/en-usd\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Find our FULL (uncensored) merch store here!</u></a></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Patreon <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/cultstoconsciousness\" target=\"_blank\"><u>https://www.patreon.com/cultstoconsciousness</u></a></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Venmo @sheliseann</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Find us on Social media!</p>\n<p>Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/cultstoconsciousness\" target=\"_blank\"><u>@cultstoconsciousness</u></a> </p>\n<p>Host Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sheliseann/\" target=\"_blank\"><u>@sheliseann </u></a></p>\n<p>Co Producer / Host <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/jonathan.rosales_\" target=\"_blank\"><u>@jonathan.rosales_ </u></a></p>\n<p>TikTok <a href=\"http://cults.to.consciousness\" target=\"_blank\"><u>@cults.to.consciousness </u></a></p>\n<p>Twitter <a href=\"https://twitter.com/cultstocon\" target=\"_blank\"><u>@cultstocon</u></a> </p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>**Disclaimer: Thanks for joining us at Cults to Consciousness.
