Clearing the Air After the Cult Episode

In this bonus episode of Untraditionally Lala, host Lala Kent and co-host Easton Burningham address a heartfelt message from a fan expressing sadness over Lala's past critical comments about the Mormon religion. Lala responds with vulnerability, explaining that her strong negative feelings stem from deeply personal trauma rooted in her upbringing in Utah, where her father's Mormon family treated her non-Mormon mother and her father with emotional distance and judgment. She clarifies that her criticism is not directed at all Mormons, acknowledging the kindness and warmth of many individuals she's met across the country. The conversation evolves into a broader reflection on religion, personal boundaries, and the importance of not pressuring others to adopt one's beliefs. They also discuss the awkward premiere of 'Mormon Wives: Orange County' and share lighter banter about celebrity relationships, including Zoe Kravitz’s rumored engagement to Harry Styles, and the appeal of high-powered dramas like 'Friends and Neighbors' and 'Rhode Island'. The episode closes with a reminder of upcoming content and a celebration of authenticity and connection.
