About Me

Jenny Skoog Mondesir explores what happens when we leave everything we were taught to believe and rebuild our lives from scratch and discovers that sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is lose your faith entirely.

Her audio memoir "The Silence Between Hello" has reached 35,000+ downloads, weaving together her mother's preserved voicemails and the journey of leaving religious fundamentalism to find love that transcends ideology. Her upcoming collective memoir exposes what life is really like inside Conservative Laestadianism, a 200,000-member fundamentalist sect that most Americans have never heard of.

Jenny's storytelling spans multiple platforms. Her newsletter connects readers hungry for honest writing about complicated families, faith deconstruction, and midlife reinvention. Season 2 of her podcast becomes an archaeological dig into her enigmatic father's life through artifacts he left behind: 1939 diaries, handmade objects, and recorded conversations that reveal the man she never really knew.

As podcast producer at Biographers International Organization and Emmy-nominated television personality, Jenny bridges scholarly examination with popular storytelling. With 20+ years supporting women through major life transitions, she brings both academic rigor and deeply embodied knowledge to examining how we break free from systems of control.

She believes our most difficult relationships often teach us the most about unconditional love, and creates spaces where complicated family stories can be heard and honored, especially the ones we were taught to keep secret.

Jenny lives in New York City with her husband and their dog, reading memoirs, walking through the city, and having deep conversations over good-quality coffee.
