Hi, Latter Day struggles, friends and fans.

We know that navigating a faith crisis can feel overwhelming, especially when it impacts our closest relationships, our parents, our partners, and our kids.

That's why Valerie has created two online self-paced classes to help.

The first is a couple's guide to faith crisis and expansion.

This class is here for a partner

between spirituality and religion. And then we talked about how religion oftentimes

brings with it either a very authoritarian flavor, which involves guilt and fear and fear of punishment,
