Here’s a more human-toned rewrite of the provided text, aiming for a conversational and engaging feel:
Get ready to see a different side of Heather Gay! The *Real Housewives of Salt Lake City* star is diving deep into her experiences with the Mormon Church in a brand new three-part series, *Surviving Mormonism*. You can catch the premiere on Bravo on Tuesday, November 11th, at 9:15 p.m. ET/PT. And for those who love to binge, all three episodes will be available on Peacock starting November 12th!
As you probably know from *RHOSLC* and her book, *Bad Mormon*, Heather’s been incredibly open about her journey away from the Mormon Church. Now, *Surviving Mormonism* promises to pull back the curtain and explore the complex and, at times, difficult history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The series isn’t holding back. *Surviving Mormonism* aims to reveal the secrets and stories that have been carefully guarded by the church for so long.
Each hour-long episode features Heather in powerful conversations with abuse survivors, former Mormons, and even former church leaders. She’s not just talking the talk; she’s listening and learning. As Heather reflects on her own departure, *Surviving Mormonism* dives into some of the church’s more outdated and controversial practices. It’s all about giving victims a voice, raising awareness, and hopefully, sparking real change.
Behind the scenes, *Surviving Mormonism with Heather Gay* comes from the Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC), a part of Sony Pictures Television. Eli Holzman, Aaron Saidman, and Erin Gamble (who’s also the showrunner!) are executive producers. And guess what? Heather herself is also an executive producer – she’s really putting her heart and soul into this!

</figcaption>Want to plan your viewing? Here’s the episode breakdown:
Part 1: “A Bad Mormon” (Tuesday, Nov. 11 at 9:15 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo, next day on Peacock)
Heather kicks things off by exploring her own journey of leaving the Latter-day Saints church. She uncovers some tough truths and sits down with David Matheson, who used to be a big name in conversion therapy. David, now living openly as a gay man, shares the harmful teachings he once believed in and practiced. This one’s going to be powerful.
Part 2: “The Highest Level of Heaven” (Wednesday, Nov. 12 on Peacock)
Heather grapples with some guilt about a friendship that ended because of criticism of the church. She finally hears Ben’s story of abuse, and it really shakes her. As she digs deeper, more survivor stories emerge, and a former Bishop shares his inside perspective.
Part 3: “Change Is Gonna Come” (Wednesday, Nov. 12 on Peacock)
In the finale, Heather meets two sisters, Jennie and Lizzy, who share their heartbreaking story of abuse at the hands of their father. Despite reporting it to church leaders, they were ignored. This pushes Heather to take action – you won’t want to miss it.
