Hello and welcome to Not So Mali Mormon podcast.

This is Katie, and I have a very special bonus episode for you today.

This episode was originally released on Patreon, and it was recorded with my friend Kelly where she talks about

patriarchal blessings and her birthday. We're releasing it on a Tuesday instead of a Thursday

because it's Kelly's birthday today. So happy birthday, Kelly. We love you. You're amazing.

And I hope that you guys enjoy this bonus episode.

Hi.

We have another rabbit hole sidewalk cupcake episode for you guys, but I don't have really any,

I mean, I have a slight idea of what Kelly's going to tell me about, but I only got very small hints.

So I am so excited.

I'm on the edge of my seat today.

Yes.

This one was really fun because it, you know, I think about all the things that happened, you know, growing up Mormon that had like totally fucked me up throughout my life and have had a long lasting effect.

And so I thought about patriarchal blessings, which I don't know if that has been covered in detail. Like, I learned a lot about. Okay, good. Yeah. You know what? We've talked about it on the podcast, but it was honestly probably, I'm going to guess, like three years ago. And what we did is we read part of Sarah's patriarchal blessing,

and I gave just a very brief description of what it was.

But we haven't, like, done a really deep dive.

And I know that we were even talking about, like,

reading some other people's patriarchal blessings on the podcast, but there's just so much, like, content.

We haven't really gotten back around to doing that.

So this is going to be great.

Yeah.

So I was digging through all of my high school memories.
