Summary

I was interviewed by Julie Rose for her "Stick With It" series where I open up about my personal journey of facing uncomfortable situations, particularly one where my identity as a feminist conflicted with my role as a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I share the emotional and challenging experience of reaching out to someone within my faith for an interview, only to be rejected based on my online writings. The rejection not only felt personal but also challenged my sense of belonging within my faith community. I describe my initial gut reactions, the subsequent email exchanges, and the ultimate resolution between us. This episode explores the complexities of identity, stereotypes, and the power of having difficult conversations. I hope listeners feel inspired to confront discomfort, seek understanding, and bridge gaps in their own lives.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Monica Packer, and this is about progress, where we are about progress made practical.
0:09.3	Have you ever been on the receiving end of criticism that felt so deeply personal. And that
0:16.4	criticism came from someone misunderstanding who you are and even more than that
0:21.4	it was them projecting the stereotype on you and not seeing you as a full and real person.

0:33.7	And today I'm actually going to share a special interview that I originally recorded with Julie
0:38.8	Rose from the Top of Mind podcast with BYU Radio. We go deep in a story where I felt personally
0:46.9	misunderstood and criticized by someone I respected and what I did about it and in fact what we both did about it because there are
0:56.1	two sides to the story and I think you'll see by the end of it we really worked through it
1:00.7	together.
1:01.7	It's unusual for me to share an interview that I've recorded for another
1:05.6	podcast episode but this is one of the favorite conversations I've ever had on
1:09.7	another person's show. You're going to learn a little bit more about me, including some weaknesses I've had of times or I've also judged someone else in return, how I've not handled everything perfectly.
1:22.8	But what I hope this episode does
1:24.8	is help you feel less alone in your own criticism
1:29.0	that maybe you faced with someone that you respected or even loved a friendship that you've had a
1:35.0	relationship that you've had and in that understanding that you will also
1:40.4	know how to move forward with it yourself.
1:44.5	I'm going to have Julie Rose on the podcast in 2024
1:47.8	to talk about how to have card conversations with people
1:50.4	because this is what she does as a living. I really respect her work and
1:54.8	what she's doing with top of mind. It's a really really unique podcast because they
