A podcast seeking to amplify and explore a variety of LDS women's voices, ideas and experiences

Our guest this week, Jenny Richards, , encouraged women to "let yourself expand, and let yourself claim your own spiritual authority, because it comes directly from God."

Vocation at its deepest level is “something I can’t not do, for reasons I’m unable to explain to anyone else and don’t fully understand myself, but are nonetheless compelling.” This description from Parker Palmer frames the journey of chaplain Jenny Richards. She says, “If there is an openness to life, then I think vocation is where we meet our desires and our love of God. They meet, and if I think it’s something I can’t not do, that’s very compelling. And it’s terrifying.” In Episode 265, Jenny joins Cynthia and Susan for a conversation about the remarkable path she’s walking, and how she came to be on it.

Cynthia shared one of her favorite spiritual practices. Where do you find or create ordinary mysticism (TM Mirabai Starr)?

"...there is no 'right' way to be creative. You could garden, you could host events, you could write, you could fix cars, you could bake, you could sew, you could serve, you could connect, you could heal. Creativity is accessible to everyone. It is literally in our DNA." —Ruby Harris, "Creativity and Worship—A Cancer Survivor's Story," Say More No. 62

We started this season with a Big Ideas discussion on belief. Apparently we still had more to say about it: belief came up multiple times in this week's conversation about myth.

On this week's episode, Cynthia asks, "Why is the idea of myth insulting to Latter-day Saints, and actually a lot of other Christians?"
Have any of you dared to suggest that Noah's ark (or another scripture passage) is a story, rather than a historical event? How did it go?

What do you think of when you hear the word ‘myth?’ You might use it to describe the opposite of what is real or factual, maybe a widely held but false belief. However, sacred narratives are also called myths—traditional or symbolic stories explaining the origin of the world, natural phenomena, or cultural customs. Most societies have their own creation myths, for instance. Sound familiar...maybe even like scripture? Yet it would be a profound shift for many Latter-day Saints to consider approaching our scriptures through a mythic lens. In Episode 264, Cynthia and Susan discuss some benefits of changing the way we think about scripture and how it can function to teach spiritual truths and deepen understanding of our human experience.

Hot on the heels of Mother's Day, a reminder: moms are regular people, too.

We talked with Blakelee on this week's episode about the subtle (or is it radical?) shift from "everything happens for a reason" to "everything belongs." What do you think?

Tedi shed the fear that God is always waiting to catch us doing something wrong. Has anyone else managed to let go of that idea? Or is it possible that some of you never internalized it to begin with?
