Parrish The Thought

Episode 190: Laurie Lee Hall | Author of Dictates of Conscience, From Mormon High Priest to My New Life as a Woman.


Listen Later

Ladies and gentlemen and whoever else is listening. Welcome back to the show.


In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with Laurie Lee Hall, author of Dictates of Conscience: The Journey from Mormon High Priest to Transgender Woman, to explore her extraordinary life—a path marked by devotion, courage, and authenticity over 50 years. Once a respected leader and chief temple architect within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Laurie shares what it meant to honor her truth in the face of profound spiritual and social consequence.

We also have a special guest on the program. Joining Laurie Lee are a

15-year-old transgender boy and his devoted, passionate, and fiercely supportive mother. Together, they offer a rare intergenerational glimpse into the evolving landscape of gender identity, parental advocacy, and the
real-life challenges and triumphs of living authentically in today’s world.

This is a conversation about faith, identity, and the unbreakable power of love—and what it truly means to follow the dictates of one's own conscience.


Note: We regret that our additional guests have chosen to remain anonymous as they don't feel safe in today's political climate.
