We're back after a very long hiatus with a new co-host and a new horrific case. In July 1985, a widowed tobacco heiress and her three children were preparing to leave for an errand when their Chevrolet Suburban exploded in their driveway, killing Margaret Benson and her son, Scott and severely injuring her daughter, Carol Lynn. Unraveling this case exposes the soft white underbelly of a wealthy yet dysfunctional family including dark family secrets, decades of manipulation, and a cancerous greed.

I'm honored to have author, play writer, and speaker, Carol Lynn Pearson join me on the podcast this week! In this episode we cover her book "The Ghost of Eternal Polygamy." Polygamy has been practiced in the history of the LDS church, as well as in some cases of "eternal polygamy" in the LDS temple sealings which are still taught and practiced today, being acceptable for men. She shares how polygamy is practiced in our anticipation of what eternity has in store for us, inequality in sealing practices in the temple, and how leaders would be wise to confront the teachings of polygamy as being wrong, and not of God. We cover some of the history, the spiritual abuse that has stemmed from the idea of polygamy, and how the community would function better knowing that singular marriage is the only kind of marriage performed in the temple. We talk about turning patriarchy into partnership, searching for truth and examining all things, and how to move forward once you know what you know.  If you've listened to my podcast since the beginning, then you know that this podcast is not centered on my religion. But, I do choose to stand up for women when I see inequality or mistreatment. I believe this is a harmful teaching and  since many of my listeners live in Arizona and Utah, I hope that this episode will help heal some hearts and be an influence for change. You can buy this book on Amazon or Carol Lynn's website which I will link below.Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Eternal-Polygamy-Haunting-Hearts/dp/0997458208Carollynnpearson.com http://carollynnpearson.com/ghostofeternalpolygamyFit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

Subscriber-only episodeIn this episode Valerie is joined by feminist and queer rights author, poet, and activist Carol Lynn Pearson honoring women throughout time who have sought the feminine divine.  Carol Lynn's classic one-woman play “Mother Wove the Morning” is an invitation to walk back in time and learn how women always have sought their Mother. Carol Lynn feels that perhaps a most sacred “work for the dead” we can each do is honor and follow those who have gone before us in their search of the lost feminine divine.  She does this very thing with a dramatic flare in both her full length play (linked at the bottom of show notes for purchase on her website) and through her performance of a part of this theatrical work right here on today's episode.  If you have ever loved the creative flair of Carol Lynn, this episode will having you smiling with love and gratitude for her passion, talent, and feminist ministry. Please enjoy the ENTIRE PLAY and SCRIPT available for purchase at carollynnpearson.com where she also has a myriad of other books that will delight and educate you about many important issues of our day.——————————————————————————————————————SUPPORT: Like what you're hearing at Latter Day Struggles Podcast?

Following last week's deep dive into the talk “To the Mothers in Zion”, you are likely struck by the need to better understand the fraught roll of women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the 20th and 21st century.   However, the struggle to understand the unequal status of women is not just an LDS in nature.  It is MUCH bigger than that.  And it is deeply connected to the loss of our collective knowledge of the feminine divine.    This is what this week's Latter Day Struggles episodes plans to explore.   And who better to take us on this journey than own beloved poet laureate, author, and feminist extraordinaire—Carol Lynn Pearson.   The specific topic of this two-episode series is Carol Lynn's one-woman play titled “Mother Wove the Morning”.   In Carol Lynn's typically beautiful and dramatic way, we learn all about women throughout the ages their ongoing search for the divine face of God.   Monday's episode offers context to the creation of this play—her personal experiences that led up to the realization of this idea, where, how, when it was performed and how it was received.   She shares her experience deciding to address the feminine divine in an era where feminist and heavenly mother scholarship was under the critical scrutiny from the leadership of the church and how she decided to answer the call notwithstanding the risks.   In Friday's episode Carol Lynn will delight us all with an overview of the cast of characters whom she selected to perform through her and actually performs a portion of the play for us all to enjoy!   If you loved the little portion that you heard on the podcast, don't hesitate to go to her website carollynnpearson.com and buy the entire play and the book that goes with it.  It is time for a resurrection of this amazing one-woman play in the ongoing celebration of the feminine face of God with whom so many of us are finding deep connection.   ————————————————————————————————————————————- All Friday episodes of Latter Day Struggles can be accessed through a paid subscription ($9.99/month) by following this link.  Thank you for supporting Valerie's professional commitment to your LDS Faith expansion journey.

In this episode, Jeff sits down with author Carol Lynn Francis and looks at a chapter Carol has written.

After reading the book The Ghost of Eternal Polygamy this year we knew we needed to address this topic and how it relates to the erasure of a Heavenly Mother in the LDS discourse. We were so pleased and lucky to be able to discuss it with the author herself and get her stories and background. We encourage everyone to read this book for themselves either to understand the pain of others or to feel validation for their own experiences and release the ghost from their psyches. We hope to someday eradicate the common response that "maybe we don't talk about Heavenly Mother because there are so many of them!" To find this book as well as Carol Lynn's newest book The Love Map you can go to carollynnpearson.com or Amazon.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/inherimage/support

My friend Carol Lynn Pearson joins us to talk about the subject of love in five of the books she has written. These books are: Good-bye, I Love You (1986) No More Goodbyes (2007) I'll Walk with You (2020) Finding Mother God (2020) The Love Map (2022) To order personally autographed copies of these books or see a complete list of Carol Lynn's work, please visit: https://carollynnpearson.com/ The first two groundbreaking books are about how to better love and support LGBTQ Latter-day Saints. In the first book, Carol Lynn talks about loving and supporting her husband Gerald who died of AIDS in 1984. In the second book, Carol Lynn shares stories of LGBTQ Latter-day Saints. I read both books many years ago which were key for me to learn how to better support my LGBTQ friends. Carol Lynn also talks about the other three important books. I was deeply moved learning about these books, including the important role of Heavenly Mother in our lives. All of Carol Lynn life work is focused on the teachings of Jesus to bring us together in love and support as the same human family. I encourage everyone to listen this podcast and connect with her work. On behalf of all our listeners, thank you Carol Lynn for your life work. Honored to have you on the podcast.

In this Q&R episode Valerie asks CAROL LYNN PEARSON several tough questions from you listeners about how she has managed to navigate some of the thorniest topics in Mormondom. Perhaps the more challenging question she answers is how she navigates feeling congruent with herself as a contributing and lifelong member in a religious institution that struggles so much with issues of gender, patriarchy, control, and power.  One of the MANY nuggets of wisdom that she sharesis a plea for all of us to "BE BRAVE.  AND BE KIND."  She embodies both bravery and kindness in her entire life and legacy and invites us to do the same in our open, honest, struggle with the institution that is our home.  She also says, "If there is trouble in the family, we have the right to talk about it.  It is our home and our family."  God bless Carol Lynn.  Enjoy this episode!  Here are some of the books that most influenced Carol Lynn throughout her life: The Chalice and the Blade by Riane Eisler, The Creation of Patriarchy by Gerda Lerner, Goddesses: Mysteries of the Feminine Divine by Joseph Campbell, The New Earth by Eckhart Tolle, A Course in Miracles by The Foundation for Inner Peace.

In this first of two delightful and powerful interviews about her commitment to compassionate and Christlike advocacy for the marginalized, Carol Lynn Pearson said,  "maybe the worst thing that could have happened for the Brethren of the Mormon church was the moment I was given the role to play "Joan of Arc" in a theatrical production at BYU 60+ years ago!" The rest was history.  And luckily for us, our own Mormon "Joan of Arc" has not been burned at the stake (center) thus far!! And in this series, she does not disappoint.  In this episode with Valerie, Carol Lynn opens up about her childhood, life with Gerald, her own process of becoming the beautiful combination of bravery, grace, and straight-talking badassery that defines her work to this day. She shares specific stories about her experiences writing and speaking about all of the toughest and touchiest of topics, all hovering around issues of gender, sexuality, and power. Carol Lynn concludes with a lovely teaser into her newest book that will give YOU a map for how to grow in the very flavor of love that empowers her to do the inspiring work that she does.  Just in time for Christmas, buy "The Love Map" (and many other of her books) at carolynnpearson.com. PLEASE share this episode.  Once you listen, you'll know why this one is a POWERFUL episode packed with bravery, wisdom, and truth.  ************************************************* Contact Valerie at info@valeriehamaker.com to get on a waitlist for one of her space limited processing/support groups mentioned in detail in this episode.

Carol Lynn Pearson is a Mormon icon. In the early 1960's two monumental experiences happened in her life: she married Gerald, a gay man—and she published her first book. From that first publishing—and her relationship with her gay husband—Carol Lynn Pearson forged a path forward for Latter-day Saints to better understand the LGBTQ experience. Her life has been a lesson of love, compassion, understanding and advocacy. Escaping the gazing eyes of Utah Mormons, the Pearson's left Salt Lake City and settled in California to allow their little family the opportunity to embrace the unknown and to grow in uncertainty. Through her best-selling book, “Goodbye, I Love You”, Carol Lynn allowed the world too peer into the Pearson family story. For the first time a well known Latter-day Saint family was openly talking about homosexuality, mixed orientation marriage, kindness, advocacy, harmful doctrine and more. In this episode Carol Lynn sits down with Kyle to dive deeper into that journey, discuss the impact it had on Mormonism, and how marrying a gay man changed her life. #LatterGayStories #CarolLynnPearson #Family #Love #ChurchOfJesusChristofLatterDaySaints 

In this episode, LDF host Dan Wotherspoon is joined by the wonderful, gifted, powerful author Carol Lynn Pearson to talk about her most recent book and the ideas that underlie it. The book, The Love Map: Saving Your Love Relationship and Incidentally Saving the World, is the flowering of a more-than-forty-year interest that Carol Lynn has had in the deep energies of the soul and universe that are at play in both societies and individual human lives. In this book, she focuses on the chakra system, which outlines seven energy centers in our bodies, each with its own different but vital contribution to our well-being, both physically and spiritually. Carol Lynn uses the metaphor of "kingdoms" in speaking about the contributions of (and potential dangers inherent in) each chakra, but focuses on the fourth kingdom, the "heart" chakra, as the most important for our love relationships. But learning to live and flourish in this kingdom only comes after all sorts of inner wrestles, especially with ego and the dangerous (and wonderful) energy of the third kingdom in which "power" is preeminent. Through compelling narrative and first-person voice, The Love Map, traces the journey of human history as Carol Lynn describes the type of energy that is ascendent in different chronological epochs, as well as through developments in the life of Joanna, a young woman, the narrator, whose three-year marriage is nearing collapse. The book is a depiction of Joanna's hero's journey. The book's voice and prose allows us to understand ourselves and human development writ large through dramatic encounters with each energy in a way that isn't accessible through more academic approaches. We "experience" our lives in these kingdoms, and we are grateful to Carol Lynn for teaching us of these kingdoms through story, which includes humor, heartaches, and faced fears. You don't want to miss this book! Nor this conversation!

In this episode, we got to speak with Carol Lynn Pearson about her new book, The Love Map: Saving Your Love Relationship and Incidentally Saving the World.Carol Lynn has been a powerful and well-known voice in the Latter-day Saint community for many years. She's the author of several remarkable works, including the memoir Goodbye, I Love You, and the book of poetry Finding Mother God: Poems to Heal the World. Her full catalog of works is too impressive to list here, but one other highlight is that she wrote one of our very favorite primary songs: I'll Walk with You, which was published as a children's book in 2020.Carol Lynn will also be speaking with us at Restore, our upcoming gathering in Salt Lake City.Carol Lynn's new book is a remarkable work of fiction, that, as Carol Lynn says, is also true. It's the story of a young woman whose fraught relationship with her husband is reaching a breaking point just as she suffers traumatic injuries in a terrorist attack. But a vision she experiences while recovering gives her something remarkable and unexpected — a “map” that will serve as a guide to healing her most intimate relationship, and allow her to see each person in her life as God does.Though the book is intended for an audience much wider than just Latter-day Saints, its message resonated deeply with us, and Carol Lynn's hard-won wisdom and remarkable gifts an artist were abundantly apparent throughout the book.We'd strongly encourage anyone hoping for healing in their relationships to pick it up — we really think you won't regret it. You can find the book available on Amazon now.We want to extend a sincere thanks to Carol Lynn for coming on, and we hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
