Podcasts about neylan mcbaine

We have decided to share with you  2-3 sessions from our recent Restore gathering to give you a taste of what took place during this amazing weekend. Last week we shared Joseph Grenny's incredible message. It was an instant classic. . Today, we're honored to bring you another really special moment from Restore. In a powerful, unflinching, and faithful presentation, our friend and community leader Neylan McBaine addressed an “elephant in the room” that so often goes unnamed: our experience with patriarchy in our faith communities. We think it's important to note that many members don't necessarily experience patriarchy as a big problem, but many do, so our hope is that what Neylan shares here can offer new understanding and illustrate the frustration and pain that many women, perhaps especially younger women, experience in our patriarchal church organization. In 2014, Neylan published her book Women at Church. In this address, she looks back at the decade since the book's release and explores the tension between the way many women experience Church and a deep commitment to our faith and community. It's an invitation to wrestle with complexity, to hold space for discomfort, and explore how we can do better in bringing womens gifts more fully into the body of Christ.We also want to mention that there is a part 2 of this conversation where Neylan is joined by therapist and podcaster Valerie Hamaker. Valerie offered insights into the empowering inner work of differentiation—how women can hold on to our spiritual authority while also staying engaged in the community we love. It's the practical application part of this session. That part two will be available as part of the digital access to Restore which you still can get digital tickets to at faithmatters.org/restore. As always, we encourage you to watch these episodes on the Faith Matters Youtube channel to get the full experience. Make sure to go to youtube and subscribe. We truly hope you find as much wisdom and inspiration in this conversation as we did. And with that, we'll hand it over to Neylan McBaine at Restore.

In 2014, Neylan McBaine wrote a groundbreaking book, “Women at Church: Magnifying LDS Women's Local Impact.” Even given the patriarchal structure of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, McBaine argued that there was much more the global faith could do to see, hear and include women. “At that time, there were many who felt discussing these facts was unfaithful or dangerous,” McBaine told an audience of 4,000 at last week's Restore conference. “We swim so entirely in the waters of patriarchy that many of us do not see the extent to which our organizational structure, the language we use, our understanding of God, our quoting of spiritual authorities, our visual representations in our meetings, and the stories of our scriptures center the experiences and viewpoints of men.” Now McBaine hopes Latter-day Saints will call out “patriarchy” and acknowledge how different its goals and rules are from other systems that exist in the U.S. On this week's show, she discuss where women in the church are now and how it has — or has not — changed in the decade since she published her book.

In 2017, a Utah family began discussing some of the challenging questions facing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. From those modest beginnings, a multidimensional platform emerged called Faith Matters, which defines itself as a “space in which an expansive, radiant approach to the restored gospel can be considered.” The effort now includes a popular podcast, book publishing, online courses, and, coming next week, its third in-person “Restore” conference. The giant gathering at the Mountain West Expo Center in Sandy has attracted more than 3,000 paid registrants and will feature speakers, poets, musicians and artists — including Astrid Tuminez, Jennifer Finlayson-Fife, Jennifer Walker Thomas, Terryl and Fiona Givens, Mauli Bonner, Neylan McBaine, Allison Dayton and Eboo Patel. It is, organizers say, meant to “inspire, enlighten and nourish faith.” On this week's show, Zachary Davis, executive director of Faith Matters, editor of its Wayfare magazine and co-director of the conference, discusses this organization, the upcoming conference and how they appeal to, help and inspire a range of Latter-day Saints.

This week we're bringing you a conversation on a subject that we're always thinking about, but that has taken on a special urgency over the last two months—the role of women in the Church. A large survey recently released showed a societal shift with regard to women and religion. In a reversal of trends from prior generations, young women are now leaving religion at significantly higher rates than men. Social issues and patriarchal structures are oft-cited reasons. Are there signs of trouble within our own faith? To explore this question, we invited two brilliant women; Neylan McBaine and Bethany Brady Spalding. Neylan is the author of Women at Church, which turns ten years old this summer. Bethany is the co-author of the Girls who Chose God series, which highlights the powerful stories of women in scripture and Church history. First, a little background on things we reference in this conversation.In  March, the Church's Instagram account posted a quote from a talk by Anette Dennis, of the Relief Society general presidency.  The post claimed, “There is no other religious organization in the world, that I know of, that has so broadly given power and authority to women.” This one post generated 18 thousand comments, mostly from Latter-day Saint women pushing back against this claim and expressing how their own experience feels quite different.  We also reference something that happened a few months prior when a church area authority in the San Francisco area instructed stakes and wards to discontinue their long-standing practice of having some women leaders sit on the stand during sacrament meetings. Over 3,000 women and men signed an open letter to the general women's leaders of the church in protest. We make brief reference in the conversation to a book by BYU Religion Professor Barbara Morgan Gardner, The Priesthood Power of Women published by Deseret Book. Gardner distinguishes between the temporal ecclesiastical priesthood to which now only men are ordained and the eternal familial priesthood, to which both men and women are ordained, and in which they act as full partners.We tried to get honest about the tension, while approaching some potential paths forward. Is this just about the Priesthood, or is there something deeper going on? What  practical things can both women and men can do to allow women and their spiritual gifts to shine? Does it require “change from the top” or is there an inner work that anyone could choose to do to change the experience just as profoundly? What might it look like for women to truly act as priestesses in their homes, whether as a single person or side-by-side with a spouse?This is all tricky territory. Some will worry that we can't consider how to improve women's experience in the Church while sustaining Church leaders, while others believe that pushing until there is change is the only way forward. We hope this conversation honors all of those voices. We have deep love and empathy for our community and our leaders. We're grateful if you choose to spend your time with us on this topic. With that, we'll jump right in.Why Heavenly Mother is Essential for Women Understanding their Eternal Destiny by McArthur Krishna and Bethany Brady Spalding“This Is a Woman's Church”

If you've been a music teacher for a while, you're probably familiar with the most common studio management systems out there. And you may have noticed in the last year or so that one of these platforms got a makeover and a new name. Music Teacher's Helper and its counterpart for multi-teacher studios, Studio Helper, have become Duet Partner. Behind the name change and rebrand, there's also a new owner and CEO. Today I have the privilege of talking to Neylan McBaine about how she came to buy the business (teaser - that story wasn't at all as I was expecting) and how she has navigated her first 18 months as CEO. Here's my conversation with Neylan A full transcript and resources from this episode can be found at MusicStudioStartup.com/episode105.

Neylan McBaine, Owner of Duet Partner and women's activist, grew up in New York City the daughter of a professional opera singer and Wall Street lawyer. It is this unique upbringing, coupled with the influence of several dynamic female role models, that inspired Neylan to take on Better Days 2020, a four-year project to unearth and celebrate the stellar leadership that Utah women provided in the quest for the 19th Amendment, giving our nation's women the right to vote! Listen in to hear Neylan speak about what has shaped her, the challenges her three daughters are facing in today's social and geopolitical climate, and what she uncovered about the spirit of Utah women.Listen to We HEAR Her:  RSS: https://rss.com/podcasts/wehearher/  Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0gF5UkG...  Follow Us Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wwsutah/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/wome...  To learn more about Women Who Succeed, visit: https://www.womenwhosucceed.org  Women Who Succeed is a program of Success in Education.  Learn more about Success in Education here: https://sieutah.org/

Amy discusses Anne Marie-Slaughter's Unfinished Business with guest Neylan McBaine.Listen to the full episode here.

Amy: Welcome to Breaking Down Patriarchy! I'm Amy McPhie Allebest. In 2012, an article in The Atlantic was being widely shared among my friends. It was called Why Women Still Can't Have It All, and it was by a Princeton professor named Anne-Marie Slaughter, and I remember reading it several times and hearing from other full-time moms how validated they felt in their choice to stay home with kids. Several months later, my husband and I went to dinner with some of his grad school friends, and the women there, who were mothers who worked outside the home, were also talking about the article, but with a lot of consternation and a feeling of having been betrayed. The article turned out to be one of the most widely-read pieces ever published by The Atlantic, and the author continued engaging in the national conversation on the topic of work-life balance, eventually publishing a book called Unfinished Business: Women, Men, Work, Family, in 2015. This is the book we read for today's episode, and I'm so excited to discuss it with my reading partner, Neylan McBaine. Welcome, Neylan! Neylan: Amy: (How Neylan and I know each other) -“To Do the Business of the Church: A Cooperative Paradigm for Examining Gendered Participation Within Church Organizational Structure -Women At Church: Magnifying LDS Women's Local Impact Neylan: Foundational years in online marketing in Silicon Valley have allowed Neylan to pursue a varied and fulfilling career as a non-profit executive, author, brand strategist, retail marketer and software company owner. A native of New York City, Neylan began her career working for Wal-Mart's online ecommerce site, Walmart.com, in San Francisco where she was one of the first employees. Upon moving to Salt Lake City, Neylan was recruited to work in house at the agency responsible for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' campaign, “I'm A Mormon.”  Neylan has also been a long time advocate of women, particularly within her religious community. She is the founder of the Mormon Women Project (now the LDS Women Project), the author of the bestselling book Women at Church: Magnifying LDS Women's Local Impact, and in 2016, she founded Better Days 2020, a  non-profit which popularizes Utah women's history through education, legislation and the arts.    Since co-founding Better Days 2020 in 2016, Neylan has become a leader in speaking and writing about women's leadership and the U.S. suffrage movement, with a specific focus on Utah and the west's early role in that movement. Her third book, Pioneering the Vote: The Untold Story of Suffragists in Utah and the West, was published in August 2020.  Earlier this year, Neylan shifted directions and acquired a small software company that provides studio management tools to independent music teachers. She is thrilled to be using everything she's learned up until this point to return to her first love: music. Neylan is a graduate of Yale University, mother to three daughters, and lives in Salt Lake City. Amy: And what interested you in the project? Attended an all-girls school growing up where we read feminist treatises and literature from a very young age.  Have led several non-profits focused on women's advocacy. Because of my business experience, my specialty is the practical implementation of ideas that change hearts and minds of the general public. Also, move towards cooperative solutions in corporate and social structures.  For example, I actually started a company before BD2020 called the Seneca Council in which I developed an evaluation that measured the level of gender optimization in corporate workplaces. Kind of like an audit of a company's policies, culture and structures. Didn't get very far, but I'm really committed to the idea that public and private policy needs to lead the way in the next step of gender cooperation. Amy: Intro of the author, Anne-Marie Slaughter:...

Neylan McBaine's book "Women at Church" started a lot of conversations and challenged many of our assumptions around how women can participate and lead in their wards and stakes. Seven years later, we thought it might be interesting to explore with Neylan how far we have come and where that future might lead.Neylan founded Better Days 2020, and has become a leader in speaking and writing about women's leadership and the U.S. suffrage movement, with a specific focus on Utah and the West's early role in that movement. Neylan previously founded the Mormon Women Project, a wonderful digital library in which hundreds of Latter-day Saint women from around the world share their experiences of life in the Church.In 2020, Neylan was named “Extraordinary Woman” of the year by the YWCA of Utah. Her book "Pioneering the Vote: The Untold Story of Suffragists in Utah and the West" won the Freedoms Foundation National Award. Neylan grew up in New York, is a graduate of Yale University, mother to three daughters, and lives in Salt Lake City. She shared much of her personal story in a previous Faith Matters conversation with Terryl Givens in 2019.

Podcast Introduction: This episode includes William  W. Tanner, the publisher of the Sons of Utah Pioneer's (SUP) magazine; Wayne Hinton, the organization's 2020 national president; and Thomas Alexander, the 2015 national president, all engaged in a discussion with Speak Your Piece host Brad Westwood, about this all-male Utah history organization: its origins, it's membership (today you do not need to be a desendent of a pioneer to join, nor do you need to be member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints); and its flagship history publication the Pioneer. Regarding the magazine, this graphically engaging magazine has been in production since 1995, and its January issue delves into Utah's campaign for statehood. The interview includes a lively discussion on the messy history of statehood. In the end each guest tells something they think most Utahns would not know about Utah's statehood story.To see the complete shownotes including brief biographies of Tanner, Hinton and Alexander go to: Speak Your Piece (Utah Dept. of Heritage & Arts)Origin Story of the Sons of Utah Pioneers: Proposed first in 1907 as "the Sons and Daughters of Utah Pioneers," this fledging organization expected both men and women to take part, urging all ancestors of Utah's pioneers, who arrived during Utah's earliest Euro-American settlement period (1847 to 1869) to join-in. Despite some very grand intentions, and inaugural conference that included LDS Church President Joseph F. Smith as its keynote speaker, the organization gradually stop functioning. Why? One reason was six year prior, in 1901, another Mormon pioneer organization, known as the Daughters of Utah Pioneers (DUP) had been founded. This organization quickly became a promoting force in “honoring Utah's Pioneers (inspired by the 1897 fiftieth anniversary pioneer jubilee celebration).” The Sons idea was eventually revived, this time in Provo in 1923. This gathering of “Provo men” became the BYU-based George Albert Smith Chapter, and serves today as the oldest chapter in the organization. In 1933 after a Provo SUP member, Lawrence T. Epperson settled in Salt Lake City, the organization came to the capitol city, and shortly thereafter expanded into a national and international organization. Here is the website for the SUP.Since the mid-1930s these two gender based, statewide history organizations (the SUP and DUP), have worked in parallel, and at times together, to honor, document and promote Utah's Mormon pioneers.

Featuring: Neylan McBaine, CEO of Better Days 2020 and author of Pioneering the Vote: The Untold Story of Suffragists in Utah and the West.Neylan McBaine and Patrick Mason  discuss the journey of the suffrage movement in early Utah. They share insights as to why history played out the way it did and what it could mean for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints today.

Neylan McBaine, until just recently, served as both founder and CEO of Better Days 2020, a Utah non-profit organization, created with the intent of popularizing women's history through education, legislation, events and the arts. Neylan has become a leader in speaking and writing about women's leadership and the U.S. Suffrage Movement, with a specific focus on Utah and the West, and the early role that the Western states played in the national movement.  In today's podcast we'll be discussing Neylan's book titled Pioneering the Vote: The Untold Story of Suffragists in Utah and the West published in 2020 by Shadow Mountain, an imprint of the Deseret Book Company. The intent of the Shadow Mountain is to publish works that speak to a national audience. Neylan's book is compelling, a work of history with the aid of historically based fictional arch that follows through the entire book, which makes real historical figures, events and circumstances more understandable. Neylan's work is “a shot across the bows,” with the intent of urging historians and thought leaders to consider a glaring omission in the story of the Women's Suffrage Movement, which is the vital story from the interior West, most particularly from Utah.  I think another audience for this book is everyday Utahns that want to understand women's history in Utah. 2020 was the 100th anniversary of a majority of US states that ratified the 19th Amendment, which extended to “most” US female citizens, not to people of color, not to Native Americans, but to white women, the right to vote. Women of color, Native Americans, all had to wait, in some cases in the 1960s to vote without legal roadblocks and harassment  As you can see the story of full franchising of all Americans, is a complex story. And this story in Utah has every more layers of confusion and conflict. 2020 also marked the 150th anniversary of the Utah Territory legislature's bill giving women 21 years or older the right to vote. Utah's northern territorial neighbor Wyoming, passed the right to vote, as well the right to hold public office, some months before Utah. However two days after Utah's bill was passed, Seraph Young, a grandniece of Brigham Young, cast her ballot in a Salt Lake City municipal election, becoming the first woman in the country to vote under an equal suffrage law.  This story is just the tip of the iceberg where Utah and women from surrounding states made vital contributions not only to their local efforts but also national efforts. If you would like to buy a copy of Neylan's book Pioneering the Vote: The Untold Story of the Suffragists in Utah and the West, we will put this information on our show notes.

Neylan McBaine was raised in New York City by a single mother who also happened to be a singer in the Metropolitan Opera. She watched as her mother was applauded and recognized within her faith community for her accomplishments. But as a young student at Yale, Neylan began to realize that many women perceived a woman’s role in the Church as something different—something prescriptive. Neylan has since dedicated her time and talents to helping women see there is no one way to be a Latter-day Saint woman. “Looking at His example and constantly being reminded of how the Savior favored the underdog and went against the conventions of His time gives me the confidence that I need, is really the only thing that I need, to feel like there’s room for exploration and for a little bit more disruption in our lives today.”  Show Notes 3:04- Growing Up as a Latter-day Saint Young Woman in NYC 6:33- Role of Women in the Gospel 9:06- Stewardship 14:49- Telling the Stories of Latter-day Saint Women 20:41- I’m a Mormon 30:24- Empathetic Activism 35:54- Keeping People Tethered to Their Covenants 37:52- The Savior’s Treatment of Women 41:10- What Does It Mean To Be “All In” the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

Everyday Rockstar (0:00:00) Lisa and Richie talk with this week's featured Everyday Rockstar. You can nominate yourself or someone you know for going above and beyond by emailing thelisashow@byu.edu.   Women's Equality Day (0:06:51) Happy Women's Equality Day! Women's Equality Day celebrates the adoption of the 19thAmendment into the US Constitution, giving women the legal right to vote in our country. But what is the story behind the pain, struggle, and protesting that led to its eventual adoption? Joining us today is Neylan McBaine, woman's suffrage expert and author of “Pioneering the Vote”, her latest book detailing the story of lesser-known suffragists in Utah and in the West. She's here to discuss her new book and the importance of the history of women's suffrage.   Recovering From Infidelity (0:21:58) Approximately 1 in 5 married couples struggle with extramarital affairs. Infidelity can destroy families and cause immense heartache. Recovery may seem impossible. Whether you're trying to fix the marriage or decide to recover on your own and separate, healing is important. But it can be hard to know where to start. To help us navigate this issue, we've invited Dr. Janis Abrahms Spring, a clinical psychologist of 43 years and author of “After the Affair: Healing the Pain and Rebuilding Trust When a Partner Has Been Unfaithful.”   Caregiver Burnout (0:32:51) When I think of a caregiver, I usually think of a parent responsible for a young child. However, caregivers really are anyone who provides, well, “care” for another individual. By definition, this often requires giving up a portion of your time and energy to ensure another's wellbeing—sometimes even to the exclusion of the caregivers own wellbeing. However, your needs as a caregiver are important as well. Here to discuss what these needs are, how to meet them, and how to avoid caregiver burnout is MSW, LSM, and best-selling author Edie Moser.   The Last Blockbuster on Earth (0:59:37) I love being able to rent movies online. Especially now—it's great to have that easy access. But I do get nostalgic for the days of video rentals. There was something magical about taking a trip to a Blockbuster, checking out the new releases, re-watching classics, and grabbing snacks. Unfortunately, you can no longer find a Blockbuster on every corner, but there is one corner—the last corner in the world—where you can relive those golden days. The last Blockbuster on earth is still operating out of Bend, Oregon! Here to tell us how they've been able to stick it out for so long is store manager, Sandi Harding.   Back to School Advice from a Teacher (1:14:31) School is right around the corner, which means the nerves our kids have been feeling about the new school year are becoming more and more real. It's important our kids start their classes off on the right foot. So, we thought we'd get a teacher's perspective on what students can do to succeed this year. Joining us today is veteran teacher Elizabeth Brockbank Hoffman. We're excited to get some advice from her as fall approaches.   Side Hustles (1:29:10) I love the innovation and creativity we've seen as a result of the difficulties of this year. And what has been really inspiring is seeing how people turn their creativity and hobbies into side hustles to lessen the blow of the economic downturn. Sometimes, however, we need a little advice on how to turn our banana bread making, or whatever hobby into an actual business. So today, we are getting advice from Alison from The Alison Show and the Awesome with Alison podcast on how to make your side hustle a booming success.

Utah was the first territory in the U.S. where women voted. What is the story behind suffrage in the west, and how is it relevant to Latter-day Saints?

Show description: Neylan McBaine discusses progress towards greater visibility and voice for women in the LDS Church since the publication of Women at Church in 2014, the effects of the pandemic and "house church" on women, and recent research published by BYU regarding women's voices in predominantly male group settings. Neylan McBaine, a life-long Mormon, grew up in New York City and later attended Yale University. She currently lives with her husband and three young daughters and works as a brand strategist for an advertising agency in Salt Lake City. Widely published as a religion writer, Neylan founded the Mormon Women Project, a digital library of interviews with LDS women from around the world, in an effort to emphasize the many ways that modern faithful women choose the right. The site, which posts about one interview a week with the help of dozens of volunteers, includes over 250 interviews with LDS women from 22 countries.   Women at Church: Magnifying LDS Women's Local ImpactBy Neylan McBaine “Helps LDS women have broader impact, less frustration and a fuller personification of the expansive LDS doctrine of women’s potential.” — Wendy Ulrich, Mormon Times Learn More Download Subscribe in Pocket Casts       Now available through Spotify    

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recently released guidelines to help members and lay leaders navigate various religious rites during the coronavirus pandemic. Virtual sacraments are out, a decision that has deprived some women and other members of regular communion. Baptisms, where permitted, are in. Priesthood ordinations and baby blessings still can take place. Temple recommend interviews can be conducted via video, even though the temples themselves remain closed. As for online worship services, well, some areas are holding them; others have been instructed not to. On this week’s podcast, Neylan McBaine, founder of the Mormon Women Project, discusses how these functions of faith are operating amid all the COVID-19 restrictions and how some changes could boost the equity and efficacy of Latter-day Saint worship. McBaine’s 2014 book, “Women at Church,” challenged members to think outside the box when it comes policies and practices within the faith — something a lot of leaders now find themselves doing.

February 14, 2020 marks the 150th anniversary of Utah women first exercising the right to vote, and the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution being ratified, granting voting rights to many women in the United States—but not all of them. Women's suffrage is a complicated and fascinating history about how women gained the vote, lost that right, and then fought to get it back again. This episode features the authors of Thinking Women: A Timeline of Suffrage in Utah—Katherine Kitterman and Rebekah Ryan Clark. Neylan McBaine joins us as well. She's CEO of Better Days 2020, a non-profit organization dedicated to popularizing Utah women's history. About the Guests Katherine Kitterman is a PhD candidate in American History at American University in Washington, D.C., and the Historical Director for Better Days 2020 in Utah. Rebekah Ryan Clark is the Historical Research Associate for Better Days 2020. She holds a law degree from the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University and attended Harvard Law School as a visiting student. She earned her bachelor's degree in American history and literature from Harvard University. Neylan McBaine is co-founder and CEO of Better Days 2020, which celebrates the 150th anniversary of women first voting in Utah and the centennial of the 19th Amendment through education, events and the arts. McBaine is also a member of the Maxwell Institute's Advisory Board.

How to Stop Enabling (0:00:00) Service brings joy to not only the recipient but also the server. It feels good when we go out of our way to do something for another person, especially for our own kids. However, there can come a point when our service harms more than it helps. Rather than giving someone the boost they need to be successful, we become enablers of self-destructive behaviors which negatively affects both ourselves and the person we want to help. Joining us on the show is Sharon Martin, a psychotherapist and author, here to discuss enabling and what we can do to stop it. Self-Talk (0:19:58) If you're the kind of person who processes your thoughts best out loud, you could wind up having long conversations with yourself. Some bystanders might look at you funny during these conversations. But what these people don't know, is that talking with yourself might have some real benefits. Joining us on the show is Judy van Raalte, professor of psychology, to discuss how talking to yourself can actually be a useful psychological tool. The Paper Therapist (0:34:44) You open up your journal and you read the last three entries: one from 2017, the next written in 2018, and the last one from about a year ago. Each one includes some phrase about how this is the year you're finally going to write in your journal every day. We all know journaling is a good idea, but often we lack the motivation to do it. Maybe we just don't know why it is such a good idea and how it can help us. Bryan Collins, author of “Yes, You Can Write” and avid journal writer, joins us to talk about the benefits he's seen from journaling and how it has shaped his writing abilities. Women's Suffrage (0:50:35) Have you ever heard of Seraph Young? This Friday isn't just Valentine's day—it's also the 150th anniversary of the first vote ever placed by a woman, Seraph Young. Beyond people like Susan B Anthony, there were women working towards female suffrage across the nation—women that were strong and diverse--and their stories are rarely told. Joining us to help us not just tell history but tell HER-story as well as talk about the importance of women leadership and women's suffrage is Neylan McBaine, author and women's suffragist expert. Balancing Life, Kids and Work (1:05:38) Organizing and balancing daily life between work, school and extracurricular activities for families can be a struggle. Add to that wanting to make sure that your family is eating healthy with fresh ingredients, and without wasting, can add an even more complex layer to an already busy life. Husband to actress Lindsay Price, father to sons Hudson and Emerson; owner of two top LA restaurants, a 2019 recipient of a Michelin star; star of the forthcoming Field Trip with Curtis Stone, cookbook author and philanthropist through his #Commit2One campaign, award-winning chef Curtis Stone believes that meals made with fresh ingredients, and enjoyed together, are key to bringing balance to busy schedules.  Financial Benefits to Decluttering (1:13:28) We've all heard the benefits of clearing out junk and making room for things that truly make us happy, but did you know that decluttering our homes and lives can help us financially? Jen Smith from Modern Frugality joins us to share how our wallets can benefit from a little tidying up. Mt. Everest (1:27:12) Can you imagine climbing 29,000 feet to the top of Mt. Everest? Few people can do this because it takes such intense mental and physical preparation, skill, and the right gear. That's what makes Greg Paul's story so amazing. On May 13, 2016, at the age of 61, Greg became the first person in history to summit Mt Everest with two artificial knees. But this wasn't the first time he tried to climb the tallest mountain in the world. He faced many setbacks and disappointments in the years leading up to his accomplishment. So, we invited him on the show to talk about his experience conquering Mt. Everest and how he was able to persevere despite adversity.

Welcome to the Zion Art Podcast, dedicated to exploring the art and culture of Latter-day Saints through interviews with artists, collectors, and scholars. The podcast is presented by the Zion Art Society and hosted by me, Micah Christensen. Today, we are broadcasting a lecture given by the scholar Rebekah Ryan Clark, Historical Research Associate for Better Days 2020, an organization celebrating and educating the public on landmark moments in women’s suffrage. The subject of Rebekah Ryan Clark’s lecture is Alice Merrill Horne, a key figure in the suffrage movement and in the development of artistic institutions in the West, including several Museums, government programs, and the careers of artists like Minerva Teichert. The lecture begins with an introduction by the CEO of Better Days 200, Neylan McBaine.

helping LDS women recognize and bring their gifts to the community. Neylan has founded or helped create the Mormon Women’s Project, Better Days 2020, and even the “I’m a Mormon” campaign. She has been instrumental in shaping today’s conversation about women in the church -- past, present and future.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints made historic changes last week to its temple ceremonies, drawing widespread attention and praise, especially from women, for its use of gender-equitable language. Neylan McBaine, author of “Women at Church” and founder of the Mormon Women Project, joins this week’s podcast to discuss what these changes mean for women, men and the wider church.

Neylan McBaine is author of Women at Church: Magnifying LDS Women’s

In her 2014 book, “Women at Church: Magnifying LDS Women's Local Impact,” Neylan McBaine examined the roles of Mormon women in their congregations and suggested paths toward more gender equity within the global faith. Why not, for instance, have teenage girls hold the microphone at testimony meetings? How about letting young women take part in what was then called visiting teaching? Why shouldn’t mothers be allowed to hold their infants during formal baby blessings at church? And why aren’t husband-and-wife teams who oversee LDS missions co-presidents? Well, some changes have occurred since her book’s release. Lots of others, McBaine says, are needed. Hear her thoughts on feminism, Ordain Women, the Mormon #MeToo moment and more in the latest edition of “Mormon Land.”

On the closing evening of the Certain Women exhibition at Anthony's Fine Art in Salt Lake, we were fortunate to host Dr. Rita Wright, Neylan McBaine, and Dr. Heather Belnap for a discussion on women in art in the LDS Church. It was recorded in front of a live audience and streamed live on Facebook.

This Women's History Month we're sitting down with female leaders from around the state to talk about their path to success, what inspires them and how others could follow in their footsteps. In this episode of Building Utah we sit down with Neylan McBaine, CEO of Better Days 2020. Better Days 2020 is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to popularizing Utah women's history in creative and communal ways. The group believes that by exploring the legacy of our past, we make Utah a better place for women in the future. A little bit about Women's History Month: The national celebration began in 1981, when Congress authorized the President of the United States to proclaim the week beginning in March 7, 1982 as “Women's History Week.” After turning it into a full month in 1987, in 1988 Congress passed additional resolutions giving the power to the President to sign off on every March being designated as “Women's History Month.”

September 24, 2014 | What are the most pressing issues at the intersection of faith and gender, and how can women of different faiths and views derive strength and meaning from their respective religions? A conference cosponsored by the the new web magazine altFem (from the founders of altMuslimah.com and altCatholicah.com), the Berkley Center’s project on Women, Religion, and the Family, and the World Faiths Development Dialogue explored these important questions. Panel discussions focused on: an examination and reframing of feminism to accommodate religious traditions; gender norms in religious dating and marriage; and achieving work-life balance among working mothers.

The Summer 2016 edition of the online journal SquareTwo features the results and a discussion of a recent poll of Mormon women about the ways that LDS women’s organizations are referred to, and about the names and titles of women’s groups, as well as women who are referred to primarily through their relationship to their husband's titled calling: the “bishop’s wife,” the “mission president’s wife.” It also asked for reactions to a proposal to change the wording of the Young Women’s Theme plus the name of the "Young Womanhood" Award (currently the name of the recognition that is the equivalent to young men's "Duty to God" award. Respondents who thought that discussions of these things or changes were in order were then given a chance to make suggestions for those new names and titles. Following a Salt Lake Tribune blog post about the survey, discussion really took off, netting an large number of comments both supportive of and quite dismissive of the survey and issues it raises. This Mormon Matters episode, featuring SquareTwo board member and one of the writers of the article analyzing the survey’s results, Neylan McBaine, and Mormon therapist and writer about women’s issues and group dynamics, Julie de Azevedo Hanks, examines the survey and its findings, but also the interesting feedback it has received. What do these responses say about today’s Mormonism, especially in relation to non-correlated, non-official efforts to open up discussions about and propose potential solutions to issues that negatively affect many LDS women?

The 21st Dialogue podcast features Neylan McBaine, founder and editor-in-chief of the Mormon Women Project, a continuously expanding digital library of interviews with LDS women from around the world speaking about her latest book Women at Church. From the Miller Eccles site: "The last several years have offered fertile ground for conversations about women, the Church and how the two intersect. Offering a call for understanding and unity and a path for more local inclusion of women, Neylan McBaine takes a middle ground between insisting all is well and advocating priesthood for women. McBaine will discuss what this middle ground looks like in the Church today and why it is important that we focus our practices to see, hear and include women more fully in our administration and services.

Mormonism is a powerful tradition, presenting a worldview and truth claims that are extremely potent, but also creating a culture that can be, for many of us, totalizing. When we feel safe and secure within its teachings and the sense of meaning it presents, it can be a wonderful, comfortable home. If, on the other hand, we find ourselves holding a more complex view about its doctrines or occupying a position at odds in any way with the community and dominant culture, we can feel very much an outsider. For those of us in this situation, our preoccupation often becomes how can we negotiate the our new relationships and its tensions while still feeling fully ourselves? How can we participate--and even teach and lead--when we know or feel more than we sense is safe to say? How can we continue to have integrity with ourselves and our community? These are the questions posed in this episode. Departing a bit from the typical Mormon Matters panel format, this two-part episode features host Dan Wotherspoon, along with LDS author Neylan McBaine, as interviewees, fielding questions (and sometimes pushback) from two Mormon Matters listeners, Adam Leavitt and Jefferson Birrell. What emerges is a spirited, intense, but ultimately empowering conversation that we believe listeners will very much relate to and hopefully come away from with renewed intensity to continue and make the most of their own spiritual questing.
