This week we welcome two ladies from Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG) to talk about the intersection of faith and politics. Politics seem to polarize more than bring people together nowadays, but in this conversation we discuss the dangers of being a "political hobbyist", how to address conflict in constructive ways to build peace and how to live in faith for future generations.
Emma Petty Addams : Co-Executive Director
Emma Petty Addams serves as co-executive director for Mormon Women for Ethical Government. After receiving her bachelor’s degree in piano performance at Stanford University, she spent time in Boston and Silicon Valley working in contracts negotiation, corporate transactions and capitalization, and investor relations. In addition, she has built and run large piano studios in California, New Jersey, and now Omaha, Nebraska, where she currently resides with her husband and three sons. While seemingly unrelated, these previous career opportunities were excellent preparation for the fast-paced yet methodical and collaborative nature of the work at MWEG. Every time an MWEG member writes an op-ed, speaks out against injustice, or expresses her opinion peacefully on social media, Emma is grateful for the chance to help women contribute their part to the complex multi-voice symphony that is our democracy.
Kristine Haglund: Senior Director of Faithful Root
Kristine Haglund is the senior director of the faithful root for Mormon Women for Ethical Government. She is a writer, editor, independent scholar, and former editor of Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, from 2009-2015.

This week we welcome Jessica Smith from @milkmaidshoney to discuss the Divine Feminine or Mother God. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes in and celebrates a Heavenly Mother, who loves us and with her Husband and First Born Spirit Son created all living things. When discussing this topic with our older brother, Aaron Dodini, he said, "This belief is unique in modern day Christianity and there is nothing more "feminist" than the belief that woman are Goddesses; that the construct of God is divine union between a man and a woman who together create all living things for the express purpose of giving Their children the chance for eternal progression." During a time when there is such a need for divine womanly representation, it was a breath of fresh air to discuss Her as some of Her daughters.
Jessica graduated from BYU in 2020 with a Bachelor's degree in Ancient Near Eastern History with a Hebrew Bible emphasis. Later that year, she and her husband moved to Norway. Jessica uses her degree in Hebrew to explore the lore and linguistic origins of the scriptures. She makes it her journey to find the feelings and emotions in-between the lines and add a woman's voice to the critical analysis of stories we love and cherish as the word of God. Jessica ponders our Mother God and traces of Her within the scriptures.

Cognitive dissonance lives on both sides of the faith divide with believers and nonbelievers alike. To those who claim belief, not everything makes sense. Not all loose ends are tied up; not every question finds it’s answer. Our Latter-day history can be perplexing, some parts leave even the devout wondering; not all prayers find answers. The doctrines Christ professed in that time proved to be more provocative than peaceful, perhaps more cognitive dissonance than resolution. Wherever you are on journey, whatever experiences you have had, there are resources to help and there is healing that can take place. We hope this conversation helps.

This week we welcome life coach, Emily Christensen, to discuss effective ways to start conversations with our children about pornography. We discuss the cycle of shame surrounding pornography and Emily says, “shame comes from not talking about it at all... When we keep things a secret, we increase the curiosity and allure factor.” We also discuss protecting our children's innocence. What actually destroys innocence is your child viewing pornography when they aren’t prepared because you haven’t talked about it and are weird about it. We discuss that in order to protect their innocence we have to get really comfortable with the uncomfortable and create space and safety in our home where any topic can be discussed.
Emily Christensen is a perfectly, imperfect wife and mother of three who believes in the power of family dinners and do-overs. Faith and family are her two greatest priorities. Emily was raised in an active Latter-day Saint home that was deeply impacted by pornography and is intimately aware of how pornography can affect individuals and families. Although professionally her background is in commercial real estate, personally her background is in supporting families (including her own) that have been impacted by pornography. For over 19 years she has been doing both.
Emily has presented to a variety of church groups, trained church leaders and presented at BYU Women’s Conference on topics related to pornography. In 2019 she became a Certified Life Coach through the Life Coach School. In her coaching practice she works with individuals and families impacted by pornography and also teaches parents how to prevent the compulsive use of pornography in children.

This week we welcome Dr. Fred Dodini to the podcast.
Dr. Fred Dodini has been a therapist, life coach and family life educator for the past 20+ years and resides in Indianapolis, IN. He has enjoyed the diversity of life’s experiences through careers in the entertainment industry (toured with a rock n’ roll band for 8 years), experience in business and behavioral health. He has been married for 48 years and is the father of 10 children and papa to 32 grandchildren. He recently published a book entitled, Shine Brighter: Choosing a life of Greater Clarity, Purpose and Joy.
In this episode, Dr. Dodini shares with us a metaphor that explains the options we all have in life and how our choices determine our fate in this life and shape our destinies in the life to come. We discuss how this destiny determining process begins with choosing the type of person we want to be (Sun, Moon, or Star) and how applying the principles, and practices that go along with that choice will determine our outcome as individuals, spouses, parents and citizens in the world.
Specifically, in this episode we examine the "Three Kinds of Spouses" that we can choose to be. We discuss principles of intimacy, trust and vulnerability using a house as a metaphor.
To purchase Dr. Fred Dodini's book visit any online book store such as Amazon or Barnes & Noble, etc. You can also contact Dr. Fred Dodini at thereare3kindsofpeople@gmail.com.

This week's episode was super fascinating. Cara and I were educated when it comes to the benefits of chiropractic work in pregnancy and pediatrics by Dr. Nancy Elwartowski-Cooper. Dr. Nancy started to see that kids were getting sick more often and put on more medication. With seeing the increase in ear infections, colic, reflux, autism and more, she went back to school to get more specialized training for pregnant women and children. Dr. Nancy has been getting adjusted since birth and has never had to take medicines, vaccines, or antibiotics. She enjoys vacationing in Northern Michigan, where she and her family enjoy their wave runner on the lakes. She really enjoys hot yoga, volunteering at her daughter’s school and baking. She has miniature dachshund named Ozzie and a cat name Peanut. She also enjoys watching football and is a big University of Michigan fan.

This week we welcome Ralphie Jacobs from @simplyonpurpose to talk with us about the effects of screen time on a child's developing brain. Studies show that 77% of parents are saying that raising their kids is harder nowadays because of technology; and kids wish their parents would get off their phones. Psychology Today says that, parents using their phones in front of their children causes more distress and reduces resilience in children. We model behavior for our children. We send messages and social cues to our children. So whether that's establishing boundaries for yourself or your children, this is a great conversation. Ralphie lives in Austin Texas with her husband and their 4 daughters. As an Early Childhood Education expert Ralphie quickly learned that the best way to impact a child’s life for good is to teach parents. She founded @simplyonpurpose where she writes about parenting, family culture, and living with purpose. Her audio course changed thousands of homes. She also travels across the country speaking at workshops on positive parenting. Check out some of her free resources on her website. https://simplyonpurpose.org/

Ya'll - They might be good stories, but you CAN say no to a date! You can also call the police or an Uber and get the **** outta there!!! Cara is pretty sure she could have died and ended up on a CRIME podcast instead of here. #blessed that she didn't get murdered.

She has some regrets, and has grown up a lot and learned a lot more since then. But let's get real, she wasn't super nice or mature either.

We discuss addiction origins and healing a pornography and sex addiction as a couple. Rachel and Scott were brave enough to dig deep into past trauma to pave a healthy and beautiful future. In a time when resources and help were hard to find, Rachel developed a model to help her husband, herself, and her family heal, find answers and end addictive and destructive behaviors. We hope Rachel's brave, and vulnerable story can help others be whole again too. "Unwanted sexual behavior is not random, it is a direct reflection of the parts of our story that remain unaddressed.” -Jay Stringer "Your sexual brokenness does not have to be a life sentence to sexual shame or addiction, it can actually be a roadmap to healing.” - Jay Stringer If you, a spouse, or another loved one are battling addiction, or unwanted sexual behaviors, we believe there is hope. If your spouse is abusing pornography and also using other abusive behaviors towards you, please reach out for help! You do not have to keep his secrets or protect him to protect yourself. You also deserve safety and love. If you're not sure where to turn for help, please reach out to Dana, Cara , or Rachel and we will do our best to support you and guide you to the right resources for you.

Starting healthy sex education at home.
NOTES:
Age appropriate information (ask questions to find out what child actually wants to know). Teach about bodies and protection against abuse in separate conversations.
Begin at Birth- as the parent you are the one becoming comfortable with talking about sex. Especially if you grew up in a home where it wasn’t talked about.
Correct Terminology
Dialogue! Not a time for a lecture
Express gratitude for body and sexual capacity
Frequent conversations. It’s more than just a “once in a lifetime chat.” They can be formal and informal.
Give one-on-one time. Private conversations with each child
Honesty
Few other points:
- A child’s secure sexual foundation is established in a home where questions are answered with honesty and reverence.
- Roles of the parents in sexual socialization of child- they both have to actively participate and teach and be part of the conversation.
- Help children to understand logistics of what is happening to their bodies when they see an image.
- Talk about the joys of sex and not just the protection.

This week Ivy Marcucci joins us to talk about her journey with a Chronic Illness. Ivy was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis two years ago and received a lifesaving treatment. In this episode Ivy gives practical advice on what to do when people in your life are going through hard things:
Acknowledging what is. Sometimes even just agreeing that the situation sucks is enough. Telling people what you want to do for them at this date & time. This helps to eliminate the work of them having to ask for help.

Welcome 2021! In one way or another we all go into the New Year with goals and hopes as to how the year will go. We start off strong and then some of those goals dwindle until they are a mere memory. How can we strive for excellence versus having self acceptance as we go throughout this new year and how can this frame the way we set goals? We also talk about how we can embrace the extraordinary ordinary.
Don't forget to stay tuned for our segment on "This came out of the mouth of my babe" at the end of each episode! You may even hear from a surprise baby guest in this one!

It's the season we often think more about Jesus Christ's birth. Specifically this year we thought more about Mary and Heavenly Mother's role in delivering Jesus to the world. As we think about Mary and her remarkable faith may we all try to nurture our own faith as we have a "Mary" Christmas.
