Latter Day Struggles

This podcast is changing my life! I had struggled in deep confusion and feelings of doubt that my Heavenly Parents loved me, or that They were even there at all. But Valerie’s ability to confront difficult subjects in the church and explain psychological concepts, while at the same time making you feel heard and validated, loved by God, and part of a community is incredible. I’ve never felt closer to God or understood the Atonement of Christ better than I do now. What I've learned here is helping me navigate a complicated relationship with the church and has made me realize that maybe I can be the growing, changing person I am and still be a part of the LDS church. I could go on and on about how amazing this podcast is but I’ll keep it short😊Thank you Valerie for doing what you’re doing!! God bless you🙏

I’ve been listening and growing with this podcast for over a year now. I have relied on the honest, thoughtful, and insightful messages shared with love. I can’t say enough good things about this podcast and the good it has brought me and those in my circles. Valerie’s expertise as a therapist and her life long membership in the Church is amazing! She shares her passion for individual and community development. She is inspiring, hopeful, and comforting to listen and learn from. Thank you for providing so many people with extra support and understanding as we all attempt a positive relationship with self, in or out of the church community.

So grateful for this podcast coming into my life. I’ve gone through a faith stretch this last year and it’s been both incredibly heartbreaking and beautiful. This podcast has helped me dig into the issues I struggle with and give me new ways to view them. I’m thankful to have found community and education through this podcast and realize I’m not alone and it’s ok to have questions. What a relief!

As I’ve started to really take a look at my LDS faith and how I’m personally trying to begin to own my faith journey and start trusting myself, Valerie and this podcast have been immensely helpful. I can’t wait to start attending her weekly support group soon!
