Bursting the Bubble: Morgan Tyler on Leaving the Church

In the age of social media, many of us are aware that choices are increasingly made for us by algorithms\u2014which is unfortunately not a reference to Vice President Al Gore\u2019s dancing abilities.\xa0

But even if we are living in our own little bubbles, it doesn\u2019t quite match the extremities of, let\u2019s say, someone who was raised within a radically nondenominational Christian sect, wherein music, media, beliefs, and friends were all hand selected by a group of men who decided they were pastors and wanted an ironclad grip on their families and followers.\xa0

Such was unfortunately the case for Morgan Hayley, now 32-years-old and far from her beginnings in Louisville, Kentucky. The oldest of seven siblings, Hayley managed to escape her marriage and the Church to live her life as an out-and-proud lesbian while still maintaining a real (albeit heavily strained) relationship with some of her family. In doing so, she learned that perhaps her family\u2019s belief that life is about sacrifice and being miserable means you\u2019re doing something right is NOT the most fun way to live life!\xa0

Now, it\u2019s safe to say Morgan is making all her decisions for herself as a prominent fitness and yoga instructor, and is much happier for it.\xa0
