Ladies and gentlemen and whoever else is listening. Welcome back to the show. In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with Laurie Lee Hall, author of Dictates of Conscience: The Journey from Mormon High Priest to Transgender Woman, to explore her extraordinary life—a path marked by devotion, courage, and authenticity over 50 years. Once a respected leader and chief temple architect within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Laurie shares what it meant to honor her truth in the face of profound spiritual and social consequence.
We also have a special guest on the program. Joining Laurie Lee are a 15-year-old transgender boy and his devoted, passionate, and fiercely supportive mother. Together, they offer a rare intergenerational glimpse into the evolving landscape of gender identity, parental advocacy, and the real-life challenges and triumphs of living authentically in today’s world.
This is a conversation about faith, identity, and the unbreakable power of love—and what it truly means to follow the dictates of one's own conscience. Note: We regret that our additional guests have chosen to remain anonymous as they don't feel safe in today's political climate.
