The Truth About Mormon Wives from Mayci Neeley

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives isn't much of a "secret" anymore... Tish and Brandi sit down with MomTok star and author Mayci Neeley for a raw and inspiring conversation about reality TV fame, faith, family, and her brand-new book. Mayci opens up about her unexpected path to writing, the shock of being on Hulu’s hit show, and how the “swinging scandal” changed everything for the group. She gets candid about navigating judgment from her own community, balancing motherhood with a public spotlight, and what she hopes people will understand about Mormon women beyond the stereotypes. Mayci also shares how journaling helped her write her book, the challenges of telling her story while honoring others in her life, and why she believes in using her voice to shine a light for others who feel alone in their experiences. Plus, the girls get into faith, dark humor as a coping tool, reality show secrets that didn’t make the cut, and whether Mayci would ever say yes to Dancing With the Stars or The Traitors. A mix of honesty, humor, and hope... Just the way we like it!!
