Audra Phelps, known as Mama Audra, left the Mormon Church in 2015 after more than a decade of wrestling with beliefs and expectations that no longer felt true for her. Leaving gave her freedom, but it also meant losing the built-in roadmap that had told her who to be, how to parent, and what her life was supposed to look like. What followed was a long process of rebuilding. Audra had to rediscover her identity, define her own values, and learn to trust herself without waiting for permission from an external authority. Drawing on her background as a teacher and school administrator, along with her study of social-emotional development, she began creating a new framework for life rooted in self-awareness, confidence, and personal truth. Today, Audra coaches women navigating faith transitions after leaving high-control religious or organizational environments. Her work focuses on helping women reclaim their identity, reconnect with joy, and learn how to make decisions from their own inner authority. Audra is Board Certified through the International Board of Clinical Practitioners.
