  • So Validating

    I started with the Ep 8: Was 2024 the year of Mormon women and really felt so seen is many instances. It can be so hard to feel like I want to stay in a church that I know many people don’t feel welcome in and grieve the process of watching other women I really admire leave. Hearing the perspectives in this discussion made me feel so SEEN. I am so appreciative of this thoughtful conversation and can’t wait to listen even more.
