    101. Taking Offense is the Easy Part

    When we consider how we want to use our time in better ways in 2025, I've been thinking of the time we sometimes spend being offended, and why we take offense. I walk through a recent experience of where I temporarily took offense and analyzed why I did, and how I worked quickly to get it out of my system. I also wrestle through how we can overcome feelings of offense as well. Listen in!

    100. Blessings & Responsibilities

    For my 100th episode of this podcast, I decided to focus on a recent trip to Asia I took and the blessing that I was reminded of while at the same time, I discuss some of my thoughts around the profound responsibilities I believe we have when we experience so many blessings.

    99. God's Favourite

    One of my favorite talks in the past general conference was Saturday morning and given by Elder Karl D. Hirst of the Seventy and titled “God’s Favorite”. In this episode of Unleashing Sister Saints, I share some of the quotes I love and make some comments about them. For example, he said, “Isn’t it wonderful that there are times when we can feel so fully and personally noticed and loved? Nephi can call Him “his” Jesus, and so can we.” I’ve thought about that since I heard this, that we can call him “my Jesus”. Does “my Jesus” feel differently? Thinking about it that way I can picture him in the Garden of Gethsemane Atoning for my sins. I can picture him on the cross for me. I can picture him being resurrected and walking right up to me. I see him truly "seeing "me. I want to feel more deptly that he is "my Jesus." Link to talk: God’s Favourite

    98. Keeping Our Hearts Soft While Using our Voices for Change

    This episode brings up the conversation about the new changes in garments to start a discussion of using our voice for change but also keeping our hearts soft so we can be guided by the Spirit. I then talk about bringing in change work specific to domestic violence and what needs to be done. Women's voices matter everywhere, and we need to use them.

    97. Not a Shock, But Men and Women Are Not the Same

    In this episode, I share some of my thoughts that align with an editorial I recently published in the Deseret News called “Not a Shock, But Men and Women Are Not the Same.” Throughout time, we as a society have assumed that if we make decisions based on how things work for men that they will also represent women. Research has found that this is just not correct! In this episode I share some examples of how these assumptions have been and continue to hurt women. I relate this to elements within the Church as well. RESOURCES: Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men Can snow plowing be sexist?

    96. Reflections on General Conference

    In this episode, I share some of my initial thoughts on General Conference, and particularly about the music. I share a few thoughts about seeing the children's choir and thinking of my own children and their paths away from the Church. I also comment on other elements of music and my sadness with not having more women speakers - again. Overall, some positive messages at October 2024 General Conference.

    95. Preparing for General Conference

    In this episode, I'm thinking about General Conference and how to prepare, but I also address the fact that everyone is different and how we listen to, receive revelation, and absorb knowledge is different from one another. I don't get as much into "gender" components in this episode, but I focus on three elements: revelation, reflection, and remembering. I'm hoping it is a great General Conference more generally, and for me specifically.

    94. Reflections on the Patriarchy

    In this episode I discuss the recent talk by Neylane McBaine at the Restore Conference in Utah with over 4,000 people. She outlined various questions and positions we could take related to the patriarchy, and I mentioned where I think I am at and share some of my thoughts about that. I also comment about how asking questions in the Church is important to moving forward. I bring in a few other topics as well! Listen in!
