“We have direct access to light and knowledge and power, and we have the right—the divinely given right—to take that power, even if it says to us something different from how the authorities or power structures over us may be thinking. If it's the thing that's right and true for ourselves, we are benefited when we follow the dictates of our own conscience,” says Laurie Lee Hall. She joins Susan and Cynthia in Episode 217 for a conversation about trusting ourselves in the journey toward wholeness. Laurie Lee's personal experiences bear out her advice: “We nourish [the Spirit] by hearing it, recognizing it, expressing internal appreciation for it, and acting upon it.”

My friend Laurie Lee Hall (convert, former Director of LDS Temple Design and Construction, former Stake President, in her early 60s) joins us to share her story. Laurie Lee talks about her lifelong journey to manage her gender dysphoria and eventually “live as the woman I am”. Laurie Lee talks about the impossible choices she faced in this journey as a successful 20-year Church employee (the last part in the physical facilities department—one of her last projects being the expanded Provo MTC) and serving as a Stake President. That led to Laurie Lee's Church employment ending and losing her Church membership. Laurie Lee talks about continuing (for a time) to participate in a new ward and being accepted in Relief Society—and the joy/belonging she felt. She talks about “living as Laurie Lee and the peace it brings me”, the new August 2024 handbook changes restricting transgender members, concerns about a “surveillance culture”—all of which are covered (and more) in her new book. Laurie Lee also talks about two meetings she and I shared around 2016/17 when I was trying to become a better ally by listening to my LGBTQ friends. Thank you, Laurie Lee, for being on the podcast, writing your book, bringing beauty to Latter-day Saint buildings/temples, choosing to stay alive, continuing to make the world a better place, and doing the best you can with impossible choices. This world is a better place because of Laurie Lee Hall. If you are looking to better understand/support our transgender friends, please listen to this episode and read her book. Thank you, Laurie Lee, for being on the podcast. You are awesome!

Laurie Lee Hall was the Chief Architect for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Designing and overseeing some of Mormonism's most sacred spaces, this former Stake President and bishop made one of the most profound decisions of her life: authenticity. Laurie sits down with Latter Gay Stories in a follow up to her last interview (episode 168) and she shares with us her just published memoir, “Dictates of Conscience: From Mormon High Priest to My New Life as a Woman.” In this interview, Laurie pulls back the curtain to share a “behind the scene” look at how the First Presidency and other top church leaders govern the affairs of the church. She discusses her transition, excommunication, and restrictions placed on her because of her power to live her “eternal identity.” Through the power of lived experience, this interview affirms the reality of gender identity and the strength and joy of self-acceptance. Pick up Laurie Lee's book on Amazon or directly through Signature Books. #LatterGayStories #LaurieLeeHall #DictatesOfConscience

It is Pride Month, and given the current and intense politicalization of the rights of transgender individuals, we are pleased to present here an encore of a conversation between Laurie Lee Hall and LDF host Dan Wotherspoon. Originally presented under the umbrella of how different people view God as gendered or not, Laurie Lee shares her experiences as a transgender woman and Latter-day Saint. She shares her story of presenting as a man for the first fifty years of her life, all the while feeling her spirit is female. During this time, she became an architect who worked for the LDS church for many years designing temples, meeting houses, and other church buildings. She was also married with children and served a full term as a stake president. She eventually knew that she could no longer live with her outside presentation being at odds with her true self and shared her truth with her family, general authorities, and those with whom she served in her stake. This led to many upheavals, including divorce, losing her job with the church, as well as her church membership. All along the way, Laurie Lee had very powerful experiences with God that she touches on here. She also shares the outline of her life and relationships today. This is a powerful episode--one that would be good to share with those who do not understand transgender experience. So many people follow along with the political attacks on these persons, as well using their religious beliefs as weapons and excuses for not truly trying to understand transgender individuals and the violence that is being done to these fellow children of God through their rhetoric and actions. Listen in!

Back in 2015, at nearly sixty years of age, Laurie Lee Davidson was propelled by a series of crises into the world of somatic trauma healing. There she discovered that it's never too late to get well, find peace, make meaning, experience joy, champion justice, and be a force for healing. Filled with gratitude for the people and programs that enabled her total rebirth, Davidson wrote Growing into the Gray: Reflections on Transforming Trauma for Women and the World to offer hope and help to others.

Welcome to Donor Diaries' Season 1 closer! In Season 1 of Donor Diaries, we covered a range of topics. We covered how to ask somebody for a kidney, the pains and history of dialysis, how to manifest a kidney, kidney chains, living donor protections, the racial disparity that exists in our current transplant system, the economic value of a kidney, kidney donor athletes who climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, the Insider's guide to living donation, and the exciting world of bone marrow. Phew, what a great year! In Episode 12 we revisit some highlights from Season 1 and catch up with Johnna and Mary from Episode 1, to see how Johnna is doing post-transplant, and Mary, post-donation. We also check in with the Kidney Donor Athletes who climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, summiting on World Kidney Day!Over 100,000 people are out there right now waiting for a lifesaving kidney transplant. At least 13 people die a day waiting for one they never get. Plain and simple- living donation solves this problem, this is a solvable problem! We have close to a dozen living donors on Donor Diaries this season, and they are all living proof that someone who donates a kidney goes on to live a totally normal and healthy life and has the same life expectancy of somebody with two kidneys. Is living donation meant for everyone? No, absolutely not! But, it is a great option for some, that saves and improves lives of everyday people like you and me. You don't have to wait until you die to donate a kidney. You can do it now and see the ripple effect of your donation while you are still alive.We are taking a short break to start working on Season 2 of Donor Diaries, and hope you join us for Season 2 at the end of summer 2022. Season 2 will feature more exciting transplant topics and human-interest stories about living kidney donation meant to educate and inspire!

And if he'd been so inclined, he could probably have written on his little bar chart: here are the books you have time to write in your life. And I suspect once you see that, your eighty-year-old self would suggest that you begin.”*“If you're a writer and you compare yourself to Shakespeare, it's pointless. If you're going to play football in the park and you compare yourself to Lionel Messi, it's pointless. But we spend all our lives measuring ourselves against people like this. It's ridiculous. So call yourself a working whatever, and then get to work and try and find a thousand people who read your books and then repeat the process and try and get 2000 for the next one. And you'll probably be alright.” *SELECTED LINKS FROM THE EPISODEConnect with Alastair Humphreys:Twitter: @Al_HumphreysInstagram: @al_humphreysFacebook: Al Humphreys Facebook PageWebsite: www.alastairhumphreys.comWait but Why Blog by Tim Urban - The Long Tail*FOLLOW LONDON WRITERS' SALONFor show notes, transcripts and to attend our live podcasts visit: podcast.londonwriterssalon.comFor free writing sessions, join free Writers' Hours: writershour.comTwitter: twitter.com/WritersSalonInstagram: instagram.com/londonwriterssalonFacebook: facebook.com/LondonWritersSalon*CREDITSProduction by Victoria Spooner.

Race Matters with Dr. Dinee SimpsonPlainly stated, white people are four times more likely to receive a kidney transplant than an African-American people. And, Asian-Americans and Native Americans, have more than double the likelihood of receiving a kidney transplant than African-Americans. This is the case despite African-Americans having higher rates of diabetes and high blood pressure than other racial cohorts. These are the health conditions that put people at further risk for organ failures. According to UNOS, once a patient is on the waitlist, the system policy that we have assures equity. The problem is everything before that. A good nephrologist should be thinking about transplantation for any patient who has progressive end-stage renal disease. That doesn't happen as much with African Americans and Hispanics and probably poor people. But it's clear that African Americans and Hispanics are not referred or preemptive transplants as much as others. Disparities in access to renal transplantation between black people and white people have been extensively documented, and show that black people have significantly poorer access to transplant. This is a major problem that many institutions are taking an action to correct.Dr. Dinee Simpson, is one of nine Black female transplant surgeons in the United States. She's committed to breaking down barriers to transplant care in the African American community through access to education, resources and world-class transplant care. She founded the The Northwestern Medicine African American Transplant Access Program (AATAP), to address disparity in access to transplantation experienced by the Black community. AATAP is a program built for the Black community, based on feedback and conversations with Black community members about the challenges of navigating a complex diagnosis and the healthcare system. The four pillars of the program address patient distrust of health care, cultural competency, health literacy, and psychosocial support.

The Ultimate Gift Episode 12 "Thirteen people die daily waiting for an organ.” – Laurie Lee In this episode, Holly & Kristin talk with Laurie Lee about: Laurie's early career experiences that led her and her husband to start their own business. Her dad's life-saving liver transplant and her journey into the world of living organ donation. A beautiful story of gratitude and paying it forward. Laurie's organ donation documentary with living donors telling their stories on stage. Many describe “the calling” as a lightening strike. Key Takeaways The amazing feeling that comes with saving someone's life. The Kidney Champion Program helps patients seeking organs on how to conduct a social media campaign to find a donor. It's an effective way to find an organ. People want to know that they are going to be okay if they make a living organ donation and to know that it's not going to impact their health in the future. The cost of the organ donation is covered by the receiving patient's insurance and there are many other resources available to make sure there is no financial impact to the organ donor. Laurie Lee, is from Hawthorn Woods, IL, and now lives in Algonquin, IL with her husband Rob Lee. Her passions include her family & friends, adventure travel, SCUBA diving, her pets, her business Swift Passport Services , the outdoors, and transplant. Laurie is a non-directed kidney donor whose donation sparked a 6-person transplant chain on Nov 22, 2016. She was compelled to become a donor after her father, Dan Dickinson, received a lifesaving liver transplant in 2011. Laurie is one of the original members of Northwestern Medicine's Transplant Advisory Council, that powers Transplant Village. Transplant Village is an inspired group of organ recipients, donors and their families is united in their mission to support the future of organ transplantation at Northwestern Medicine while connecting and supporting the transplant community. Her main role with Transplant Village is facilitating a monthly workshop called the Kidney Champion Program which teaches people who are in need of a kidney different strategies to attract a living kidney donor. Laurie enjoys working on projects in the transplant world that make an impact! She was one of the organizers of the 2018 Donor Rally which resulted in a Guinness World Record for the largest number of Living Organ Donors (410!) in one place. She is currently wholeheartedly invested in CrowdSource for Life and is a producer for a docuseries called Abundant which explores the concept of abundance through stories of non-directed organ donation. She believes this project is the catalyst that our society needs right now to pay attention and to take action, so that people don't have to die or suffer waiting for an organ transplant. Her podcast, Donor Diaries, was developed to support this project and it's initiatives. Laurie is extremely interested in connecting with people who share her interest in flooding the donor pool, so that nobody has to wait for a life-saving transplant.

The cartoonist, writer and illustrator Posy Simmonds brilliantly captures the ambitions and pretensions of the literary world, and the journalist and curator Paul Gravett has worked in comics publishing for decades. Together they bring graphic novels and comic books to the foreground with the Slightly Foxed team. We draw moral lessons from the Ally Sloper cartoons of the 1870s, glimpse Frans Masereel's wordless woodcut stories of the 1920s, view the pictorial politics of Citizen 13660 by Miné Okubo in the 1940s and revisit Art Spiegelman's 1992 Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus before taking a closer look at more contemporary works. From a tragicomic summer with Joff Winterhart, nuclear explosions with Raymond Briggs, the shadow of James Joyce with Mary and Bryan Talbot and an Iranian childhood with Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, the discussion moves through panels, frames, splashes and spreads to Posy Simmonds's own methods in bringing literature to life, including crosshatching to Vivaldi. Originally serialized in the Guardian, Posy's Gemma Bovery builds on the bones of Flaubert's Madame Bovary and Tamara Drewe draws from Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd, while Cassandra Darke takes inspiration from Dickens's A Christmas Carol. Though rooted in the classics, the devil is in Posy's detail, be it real French coffee pots, the joy of characters' names, such as Kevin Penwallet, and fictional places, such as Tresoddit. We continue our travels off the beaten track with our usual round-up of reading recommendations, and a trip to Gilbert White's House and Gardens in Hampshire, where we view the landscapes that sparked his evergreen classic The Natural History of Selborne.

Join Laurie Lee and Ned Brooks as they discuss kidney chains, lightning strikes, Freakonomics, and kidney vouchers!Ned Brooks is a retired businessman who donated his kidney as a non-directed donor in 2015, at the age of 65, for the purpose of starting a kidney chain of three transplants. His kidney went to a young mother in Colorado. Ned was so taken by the experience that he started National Kidney Donation Organization (NKDO) for the purpose of helping prospective living donors to make their donation in as effective a manner as possible and with the most protections available in the industry.NKDO now has over 30 donors and recipients who mentor both donor candidates and patients seeking a donor. NKDO works very closely with the National Kidney Registry (NKR) because the NKR is affiliated with about 100 transplant centers across the country and runs Donor Shield, a suite of protections for living donors.Ned is CEO of NKDO and an ongoing student of transplant who enjoys mentoring and educating people on the need for living organ donors.Episode LinksNational Kidney Donation Organization (NKDO)National Kidney Registry (NKR)Ned Brooks Ted TalkMake Me a Match (Freakonomics Radio Episode)Ask Not what your Podcast Can Do for You (Freakonomics Radio Episode)Donor Diaries
In most cases, when someone steps forward as a living donor, nobody actually asks them to donate a kidney. Usually, the donor hears the story of someone needing a kidney and makes the decision to donate without being asked. The Living Kidney Donors Network (LKDN) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization established in 2007 by Harvey Mysel whose primary mission is to educate people in need of a kidney transplant about living kidney donation and help them communicate their need to family members and friends. LKDN also has a program that educates the public about the need for living kidney donors.Harvey is a 2-time kidney transplant recipient. After proactively managing an inherited kidney condition, PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) for over 20 years he had his first kidney transplant in February 2007. He was fortunate that his wife Amy was a compatible donor. Harvey contracted a virus, (BK Virus,) 2 years after his transplant and after years of battling this virus, in August 2012 he had his second kidney transplant. Harvey and his donor, Stephen Liegghio, who was introduced to Harvey by an advocate, were involved in a 3-way kidney paired exchange.Most kidney donors donate to someone they know and patients need to first have the knowledge about living kidney transplants and learn how to develop their kidney campaign so they could be effective in communicating their need. The FREE online program Having Your Donor Find YOU! does just that. In addition to the work he does at the LKDN, Harvey is a tri-athlete, competing in a triathlon 5 months after his first transplant. He is a 3-time Gold Medal winner and Silver medalist in the Transplant Games. Harvey is an accomplished bicycle rider, tennis player, platform tennis player, bowler, hiker and rock climber.Episode LinksDonor DiariesLiving Kidney Donors NetworkNorthwestern Kidney Champion ProgramNational Kidney Donor OrganizationJohns Hopkins COVID/kidney Recipient Study

Donor Diaries is a podcast about the beauty and messiness of living organ donation. Get ready for some amazing stories about what happens when people decide to share their organs with other people, when people chose to share life. The sharing of kidneys and other organs is an incredibly fascinating topic that teaches a lot about kindness, love, and life!There are over 100,000 people on the kidney transplant waitlist today, and sadly about 13 people die each day waiting for a kidney that they never receive. One in three Americans are at risk for developing chronic kidney disease and one in nine already have kidney disease. Most don't even know it. Donor Diaries shares unfiltered stories of kidney donation through the voices of living donors and straight talk from transplant experts who are committed to bringing the conversation of living organ donation to the forefront of society, so patients no longer have to die or suffer while waiting for a transplant.Episode LinksDonor DiariesOrgan Donor Registry (deceased donation)National Kidney Donor Organization (NKDO) (living donation)

Dust off your violinAfter many years of cajoling myself towards an adventurous life, I had a pretty solid grasp of what I was looking for. All I needed to do was get on with it. But if adventure is about uncertainty and risk, there comes a point when more of the same no longer counts as living adventurously. I had ended up in a comfort zone, even if it involved deserts and wild places. It was time to change direction.For many years my favourite travel book had been As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning. Laurie Lee walked through Spain in the 1930s, playing his violin to fund the journey. It is a beautiful story and the idea of recreating it tantalised me. But for 15 years I kept chickening out. I couldn't play any musical instrument. The thought of having to perform or sing or dance in public is my idea of hell. But I could never quite get the idea out of my head. The thought of busking seemed horribly vulnerable. I had never attempted anything like it before. I would probably fail. It was ridiculous. Or, to put it differently: it sounded like an adventure and precisely what I needed.On a whim, I took out my phone, Googled for a local violin teacher and dashed off a quick email. That was my Doorstep Mile action – one email set everything in motion after 15 years of barriers and doubt.I quickly learned that the violin cannot be quickly learned. I had wildly overestimated how much I would be able to learn in seven months. But I worked hard at the infernal instrument, concentrating only on the day's homework rather than the nerve-wracking ultimate challenge of depending upon the violin to earn my next meal.I had to face the sorry fact that I was terrible: nobody would give me any money! The trip was going to be an embarrassment and a disaster. The sensible compromise was to take my wallet and just busk for a bit of fun. More sensible still was to postpone the trip for a year or two until I could actually play the violin.Fortunately in life, however, the only sensible options are not the only options. I turned up in Spain, and I began.I emptied the final coins from my pocket and piled them on a park bench. Then I walked off into Spain one midsummer morning to see whether I could survive for a month with no money.The first time I set up my violin to play was the most scared I had felt since the day I set off to row across the Atlantic. Isn't that crazy? Rowing an ocean is a frightening thing to do. There are storms and salty buttocks. But what was I scared of on that sunny morning in Spain?What I was afraid of was all the vulnerability inside me, the most significant stuff of all. The baggage we hide away and hide behind. The demons that stop us living as adventurously as we dream of. The things that I hope this book has provoked you into exploring within yourself.I stood alone in that plaza, sawing away at the violin. I could hack my way through five terrible songs, each about 30 seconds long. I looped round and round while my heart sank lower and lower. I was embarrassed, sure to fail and dreading having to acknowledge that to myself and the world.An elderly gentleman had been watching me from a bench in the plaza for a long time. Eventually, he stood up and walked over to me, leaning on his walking stick. I thought, ‘Uh-oh, I'm in trouble now. He's going to say, ‘Señor, enough. Clear off. Please, give us back our peace.” But he didn't say that. Instead, the man reached into his pocket. He pulled out a coin, and he gave it to me. I thought my heart was going to explode with delight, relief, amusement and surprise. I'd done it! I had earned a coin from playing the violin. Before the trip, when I was on the verge of backing out of the whole venture, I made myself a deal. ‘Don't worry about the whole trip. Just go out there and earn one Euro. That's all you need to do. With a Euro, you can buy a bag of rice. With a bag of rice, you can walk for a week. After that, we'll talk…'I spent a month hiking cross country through the beautiful landscapes of northern Spain, dropping down into villages every couple of days to earn enough money for the next stage. It was a magical experience. But the hundreds of miles and the nights under the stars were not what made it special. I've done that stuff half my life. The adventure out in Spain was standing in a plaza in front of a handful of people and declaring, ‘here I am. This is all that I have got. This is my best shot.' Play the next song. Earn the next coin. That is all we can ever do. The violin was the adventure. ***I spent most of my 20s and 30s chasing a specific manifestation of an adventurous life. That carefree vagabond dream changed as ‘real life' arrived and I evolved from carefree AdventurerTM to busy Dad. I still try to live adventurously but have had to modify how I do that. Sometimes it works fantastically, at other times it frustrates me. This year I have merely scheduled time in my diary to climb a tree once a month. But that has made a far bigger difference than I could have imagined. So as someone who exchanged ambitious dreams of a life on the open road for a cup of tea up an oak tree, let me finish by saying this. I don't think we should pin our hopes on one adventure of a lifetime. Instead, we should strive for a lifetime of living more adventurously every day. Do something daily that excites you, makes you happier, fulfilled and curious. Something that scares you a little. It is the process that is important, the direction you walk, not the notional outcome at the end of that journey. An email to a violin teacher. A morning text message to your friend about that idea you always dream of late at night, a meeting at work about a new project. However ambitious your ultimate dream, whatever you decide to start with and build into a habit ought to be really small. So small that there is no reason not to do it today. What step will you take right now to get you across the doorstep and set you in motion towards living more adventurously?Good luck.

BeginningsMon, 24 Dec 2007, 21:08From: AlastairTo: BenSubject: SOUTHHi Ben,Having a wonderful time in Hawaii - been out whale watching and running this morning.But I can't stop thinking about my future expeditions. So I decided to write and ask in all seriousness if I can join your SOUTH team? I am writing because I will regret it if I do not, but also because you know me well enough to be able to say 'No!' without embarrassment or worry...! Look forward to chatting in the New Year when I get home. Hope you have a warm, sunny Christmas, like me,Al––––––––––––––Fri, 20 Nov 2015, 11:56From: AlastairTo: Becks ViolinSubject: Can you teach me the violin really quickly?hi Becks,I found your email via Google. I'm looking to learn the violin. But I have a slightly unusual plan...I'm an adventurer and author. My favourite ever travel book is 'As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning'. Laurie Lee walked across Spain in the 1930s, living from busking. I want to retrace his journey, living entirely from busking. But I cannot play the violin!Can you teach me to play a few cool busking songs so that I don't starve to death on the trip?!I'm 38, I did Grade 2 piano when I was 10. I'm willing to work hard and we've got until the summer to learn...Are you up for the challenge?Alastair––––––––––––––Thurs, 5 Sep 2012, 16:10From: AlastairTo: LeonSubject: Walkhi Leon,Hypothetically speaking, would you be interested in another long walk?! 6-8 weeks. Desert. Pulling a cart. Nov-Dec. Home for Xmas...AlMany of the best things I have done began with an email. They are so brief, flippant and non-binding. Scribble an email, click send. Worst case scenario? You regret it in the morning and hastily back out. Easy as that. You haven't got much to lose. Hopefully, however, you get up tomorrow and follow this small beginning with another small beginning. And you keep repeating that until those little steps accumulate into something that you look on with surprise and pride. OVER TO YOU: Send someone a brief email that will pique their curiosity about an adventure. CC me in if you like: alastairhumphreys+thedoorstepmile@gmail.com★ Support this podcast ★

Our hosts,Howard, Catherine have invited Tammy, and Laurie to discuss the journey of healing hearts using the Nurtured Heart Approach®. Laurie's personal story is one that you won't want to miss as she and Tammy (her therapist) share more about how a "heart" devastated by abuse and hurt can be "healed" and Inner Wealth™ can emerge and thrive again. Tammy Jacobs is a Licensed clinical social worker, currently working in private practice. Tammy has over 20 years experience working with challenging children/families in crisis centers, group home, residential treatment, as well as, outpatient and community mental health. Tammy has been an advance trainer in the nurtured heart approach since 2007 and enjoys teaching this to children/teens, adults/parents, group home staff and educators. Although Tammy has extensive training in a variety of interventions/strategies geared towards helping children and families, the nurtured heart approach has proven to be the most effective and therefore is the foundation of her work. Not only does Tammy utilize the approach in her private practice she uses it on a daily basis in raising her two daughters, ages 11 and 13, and in her marriage of 17 years. Laurie Lee graduated from Arizona State University in 1999 with a degree in Sociology. She has worked for a major corporation for over 16 years and raised two daughters ages 18 and 19 as a single parent. Introduced to the Nurtured Heart Approach in December 2011, her life was revolutionized as she discovered how to live from her heart. Overcoming the odds of being a child of abuse, she now owns that she has created a life she considers successful and she shares regularly with others how finding your greatness can change life in all areas.
