Join Lauren Hayes, your Swinging Lifestyle Coach and expert in ethical non-monogamy, alongside her co-host Ben, an ex-LDS polyamorous friend, as they dive into the reality TV show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Together, they peel back the curtain on how the show portrays relationships, particularly in the LDS and swinger communities.

Lauren and Ben take on each episode, discussing what’s real, what’s exaggerated, and what’s just plain wrong about how non-monogamous and Mormon lifestyles are represented.
