Episode 163: Parenting Adolescents in/around the LDS Church with Julie Hanks

In this episode, Valerie is joined by Julie Hanks to discuss some of the challenges faced by parents of adolescents in and around the LDS church. They answer a handful of questions submitted by listeners to both of their podcasts including thoughts about making boundaries with well-intended but overstepping leaders, avoiding black and white thinking, healthy ways to talk about the temple and the garment, and how to address LGBTQ+ issues in church settings.

Overall, this episode offers valuable insights and guidance for parents as they strive to support their children's growth and well-being.
