D o p e
I love this podcast on so many levels. I love the raw & organic conversations that are had about topics that aren’t touched often in the church. If people in the church chose to be more vulnerable like this, we’d have greater Sacrament meetings, greater activity in the church, and a greater bond as a church worldwide.
THIS PODCAST IS IMPORTANT
Thank you for what you’re doing here. You’ve created a platform for people in and out of the Church- anyone that has been influenced by the culture of the LDS church, really- to have difficult conversations about things that matter.. things that aren’t being talked about that need to be. These conversations make me feel understood and challenged in a culture that can be hard and confusing to navigate. Thank you for helping us all to be more open minded, to create our own opinions, and to learn to understand (the struggles/stories of) those around us. Thank you thank you thank you!
Exactly what I’ve been looking for!!
Love that someone finally started covering feminism & mormonism! Eek sorry, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.. 🤭 But I seriously love it because I AM A FEMINIST #notadirtyword and while I find so many articles and videos on feminism from a society’s point of view, I’m so grateful to now listen to conversations on feminism tied into our religion. Thoroughly enjoying these episodes, please donate through her Venmo so she can keep this podcast going!! 💗💗💗
