Ex-fundamentalists and former "tradwives" are helping other women build new lives after leaving high-control religious communities, The Salt Lake Tribune reports. These "deconstruction doulas" guide women through the practical and emotional challenges of leaving.

The work addresses a growing need as more women question fundamentalist and "tradwife" lifestyles promoted by influencers. Many clients come from Mormon fundamentalist backgrounds or mainstream LDS communities with similar dynamics, according to the report.
