this was a heart rending interview. This couple is amazing.

Thank you for sharing Kim's story, and creating a platform where people may share and learn from individual faith struggles and challenges on their journey of faith. I love Kim. I'm a better person for listening in today. Thank you. 🙏🏻

This podcast is changing my life! I had struggled in deep confusion and feelings of doubt that my Heavenly Parents loved me, or that They were even there at all. But Valerie’s ability to confront difficult subjects in the church and explain psychological concepts, while at the same time making you feel heard and validated, loved by God, and part of a community is incredible. I’ve never felt closer to God or understood the Atonement of Christ better than I do now. What I've learned here is helping me navigate a complicated relationship with the church and has made me realize that maybe I can be the growing, changing person I am and still be a part of the LDS church. I could go on and on about how amazing this podcast is but I’ll keep it short😊Thank you Valerie for doing what you’re doing!! God bless you🙏

first time listener. Really thoughtful, insightful and very much enjoyed it

Episode 256. Listened to it while driving and I cried half of the time. Every. Word. resonated so deeply with me and I felt God’s love so powerfully as you described almost exactly my own journey of faith. Through describing yours. It was amazing and I thank you so much for articulately putting to words the emotions I feel and have felt through this expansion of faith. I struggle so much to accurately describe my own journey to others. Without coming across aggressive or judgemental. Also people in my life their reactions to my sharing causes some discomfort and fear, just as you so beautifully described. I was “in those chains” for most of my life and reacted to things like my own sorry in much the same way, in fear and judgement. So I understand why they react as they do. Just know how much this (and so many more) of your content buoys me up and helps me to it feel lonely or like a sinner. Instead it’s the most beautiful, spirit-filled journey I’ve been on since I can remember. And your wisdom and ability to describe with words these concepts is like a God-send. Thank you thank you for your work and study.

Valerie and her podcast have spoken about so much of what I’ve experienced. I’ve found a greater understanding about what healthy and mature spirituality look like. Valerie is THE BEST!!!
