Makenna Gibbons became part of one of Utah’s most public scandals when the “Mormon swinging” story exploded online in 2022. Behind the viral headlines, Makenna was simultaneously dealing with infidelity, divorce, motherhood, public scrutiny, and the collapse of the life she knew.
In this episode, Makenna sits down with Jimmy to tell her side of the story and, more importantly, share what happened after the headlines faded. She talks about the boundaries she wishes she had protected, how group dynamics and alcohol contributed to decisions she regrets, the painful process of rebuilding her identity, and what years of therapy taught her about accountability without shame.
Makenna also opens up about rebuilding a healthy co-parenting relationship with her ex-husband, getting remarried, learning to trust herself again, and why she believes even the darkest seasons eventually end.
This conversation is ultimately about what happens when your worst mistakes become public—and how you rebuild a life you’re proud of afterward.
