In this episode, I am joined by Elden Brooks. Elden was born into Mormonism and faithfully followed the religion throughout his life. However, as time went on, he began to question his beliefs, leading to a crisis of faith. He also developed a debilitating auto-immune disease that confined him to his home for a whole year, with no cure available.

During this challenging time, Elden turned to audio books on spirituality and self-help, which opened his mind and expanded his awareness. Additionally, he had a transformative experience with a plant medicine journey that miraculously cured his disease. As a result of these profound experiences, he made the courageous decision to leave Mormonism and step away from his successful career in finance.

Elden decided to pursue his true calling and started studying counseling. His aim is to provide support and help to others who may be going through similar challenges and seeking a more fulfilling path in life.

Elden is also a co-host of a podcast called Mormon, Mystics and Muons, you can listen to it here:
