“I thought we were open. I thought we knew everything, and I thought that we understood how big this world was,” she told PEOPLE of herself and fellow sister wifeJanelle. “But once I left, I was really like, ‘Oh my gosh, there’s a whole world out here, I feel like I can take a deep breath. And there’s possibilities and there’s amazing stuff on the other side of polygamy.’”
She continued: “For me, because I felt so much freedom and so much happiness and so much joy not living it anymore.”
