Summary

Send us a Positive Review! One thing that Val is always juggling is how to do it all and maintain her sense of humor, high commitment to play, and overall sanity.

Before we jump into today's episode, we have to say this. Our very first live fellowship gathering was incredible. The conversation was honest, the chat was active. People were connecting, not just virtually, but finding others in their actual communities. You could feel something forming in real time. And this is just the beginning. The Live Fellowship officially kicks off March 9th.

community where we process the podcast together, connect twice a month live with Valerie,

1:06.2

I'm good. I'm good. I'm happy to be here. Yes, we are here on a mission, the two of us, to talk to you

1:14.0

a little bit about something that is kind of exciting that's happening here on the Latter Day

1:19.1

Struggles platform. And if Heather is not familiar to you, she will become familiar to you

50 years of Exponent 2. Okay. So she was on episodes 281 and 282 talking about the history of the Exponent Magazine and all things, Mormon feminism. Heather, kind of, in my opinion, is sort of like

2:00.7

one of my most significant

2:03.9

mentors in terms of the value and even like what exponent is. We're about the same age,

2:13.4

but I came into Mormon feminism a good generation after Heather. She's really like one of those

2:19.8

sort of early feminists, at least from, you know, if you compare her and me. And so I really,

2:25.7

really enjoyed learning about Mormon feminism as sort of a late adopter, shall we say. And so

2:32.3

that's a fun, a couple of episodes for you to go back

2:35.6

and listen to if you want to really look into for yourself that. But this is sort of, we're pivoting
