The series is not a parody, political commentary, or hit piece. Producers are seeking authentic, real stories from women across a wide range of experiences, beliefs, and relationship statuses. Participants do not need a large social media following and are not expected to represent anyone but themselves.

Participate in on-camera interviews for an unscripted documentary series

Women who have left the lifestyle (recently or long ago)
