Venice Jardine, M.S. is an ethnographic researcher and the author of master's theses "I'll Stay Where You Want Me To Stay: How Latter-Day Saints Navigate Conflicting Social Values While Remaining Committed to Their Faith." (Source: https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=11355&context=etd)

From her abstract:

While recent efforts in religious studies have focused on why many Americans seem to be leaving religion entirely, much less is understood about why many others choose to remain committed to their faith--especially when they hold many of the same social values, doubts, or divergent opinions that others cite for leaving. Within a Latter-day Saint context especially, very little research has been done to explore the experiences of those navigating the complexities of competing ethical affordances while remaining committed to their faith.

(Source: https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/10346/)

I hope you enjoy listening to Venice share about her research and especially her viewpoint on 'The 3 Ethics: Autonomy, Community & Divinity' in episode #227 as much as I enjoyed interviewing and learning about it from her.

Born in Murray, UT as one of five kids, Dr. Nicholas K. Howland was raised in the LDS church. After receiving his Doctorate of Medicine at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, he now practices in Draper, UT as a board-certified plastic surgeon.

He specializes in plastic and reconstructive surgery and aesthetic services, developing personalized surgical and nonsurgical treatment plans to help patients achieve their aesthetic and medical goals. He is one of the few (if not, only) plastic surgeon(s) in the SLC area to treat patients who identify as transgender.

A proficient Russian speaker, Dr. Howland's global perspective was broadened by a two-year church mission in St. Petersburg, Russia, prior to his collegiate studies. Outside the operating room, he cherishes time with his two children, whether it's at the lake or in the mountains. His hobbies include playing the piano, golfing, water and snow skiing, and he enjoys the intellectual challenge of the New York Times crossword puzzles.

NOTE: This episode contains discussion and themes of suicide and suicide prevention.

Within weeks I will publish my first book, TransparentSEE: How I learned to SEE through my journey as a parent of a transgender kiddo . I share a few excerpts with you today as a means of connection and sharing of my story of moving through all of the discomfort that comes with being raw, open and vulnerable.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention states, “There’s no single cause for suicide. Suicide most often occurs when stressors and health issues converge to create an experience of hopelessness and despair.” 

Efforts that counter loneliness and isolation all point to human connection.  I believe connection is a vital component of suicide prevention, long before a person exhibits warning signs.  I am in no way suggesting this as a quick fix or a replacement for adequate mental health care and being proactive about getting it.

Showing up vulnerably is the only way to “true connection.”  Shooting the breeze about what you had for lunch,  how was work/school, or did you see the latest movie aren’t going to cut it. Heartfelt, raw and authentic sharing followed by open ended, thoughtful questions is a pathway to true connection. Note that the pathway I am describing is indefinite, different for everyone and subject to your intuition of what is best for you in your situation.

As you listen to an excerpt of my story, may your heart be touched and opened to the idea of sharing yours with your loved ones.
