Series Title: Valerie’s Personal Journey [Part II of II]

In this second episode of this mini-series,  Valerie responds to a variety of personal questions including (but not limited to):

• How the podcast and accompanying work has impacted Val’s and Nathan’s parenting and family life.
• Val’s and Nathan’s asymmetrical developmental time line that prepared them for this collaboration.
• Their current relationship with local ecclesiastical leaders.
• Her current reasons for continuing to attend her own LDS church congregation. 
• Her feelings about those who choose to distance themselves from the church (temporarily or permanently) due her influence and her sincere encouragement for people to forge their own paths.
• The most impactful books Val has read that evoked her own “faith crisis”, but which also led to her decision to create a platform to address these topics in a healthy, more open way.
•  Thoughts and feelings about the potential of church discipline, personal surrender, belonging to ones’ self, and growing feelings of peace due to owning her journey and living in her integrity.

Books mentioned in this episode as most impactful for Valerie:

• Origins of Power and Extensions of Power, written by D. Michael Quinn
• Stretching the Heavens: The Life of Eugene England and the Crisis of Modern Mormonism, written by Teryl L. and Fiona Givens
