94: Claiming Spiritual & Psychological Agency as Women in/around a Patriarchal Church
Published 3 years, 1 month ago
Description
This episode was recorded for "The Sisterhood Podcast" recently and takes a deep dive into issues of womanhood, LDS culture, and the vital importance of women learning how to truly be active agents of their own lives. Valerie addresses several topics including the following:
- the influence that the church's gendered teachings have had on some women who foreclosed early dreams and desires because they felt that these parts of themselves were "wrong",
- the importance of learning to claim one's own personal authority and learn to tolerate the discomfort of others' not approving of our self-affirming life's choices, and
- strategies for helping children and adolescents of both genders learn how to think in complex ways that
- affirm their ability to know that they are capable of connection with their own true selves and their divine creators, who can help them craft a value-driven life.
