episode 80: Charisse, The Existential Ginger: Ex-Mormon Beer Slangin' Baddie
Charisse, The Existential Ginger, joins me on the mic for our Everyday Woman Series. After an existential crisis and a divorce, Charisse left the Mormon church and moved 2,000 miles away from everything she'd ever known. Today, Charisse enjoys all the things she once believed to be evil; tank tops, beer, tattoos, and coffee. Needless to say, Charisse is no longer following the Mormon way by "enduring to the end", she's now THRIVING to the end. #YOLO
