Summary

Sherilyn Clarke Stinson, the first female Commissioner of Family Services, shares with us her journey of infertility, adoption, education, and her transition from being a stay-at-home mom to starting a career. From her personal and professional perspectives, she reminds us of the importance of navigating the various stages of marriage, and the tools and resources available when we need help. Sherilyn encourages women who may feel discouraged by what is or isn’t happening in their lives to “let go and let the Lord bless us according to the variety of options he has in mind for us.” Resources: Learn more about Family Services and the resources they offer: https://providentliving.churchofjesuschrist.org/lds-family-services?lang=eng Transcript: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/inspiration/latter-day-saints-channel/bc/mormon-channel/images/audio/lds-women/pdf/Sherilyn-Stinson.pdf

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Latter-day Saint Women podcast, where we share the legacy of women of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
0:11.5	You'll get to know the faithful women who shaped our past and hear from inspiring women of faith today.
