Dive deep into the complexities of faith, identity, and personal growth in this transformative episode of "The Midlife Revolution." In this episode, I explore my journey of leaving the Mormon Church after decades of membership, focusing on a significant talk by Elder Dallin H. Oaks from October 2019. This discussion centers on his views on women's roles and the church's stance towards the LGBTQ community, highlighting the gap between the church's inclusive rhetoric and its exclusionary policies.

Listen as I dissect the implications of these teachings on personal lives, especially for women over 40 who are reevaluating their faith and seeking authenticity in their spiritual journey.

Learn how small, positive changes can lead to profound life improvements, using my own experience as a testament to the power of personal revolution at midlife.

Explore the dissonance between 'all are welcome' statements and the reality of church policies that bar full participation for the LGBTQ community.

This episode is not just about critique; it's a beacon for those navigating their way out of high control environments, whether religious, familial, or otherwise. Join the conversation on:

Rebuilding your life with authenticity and joy
