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.

Chris Williams is a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner, and founder of Revive Hormone Health. He has a deep passion for helping others feel their best. He is dedicated to making a meaningful and actual healing in the lives of his patients. Too often, traditional healthcare methods and treatments are dictated by insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies which treat symptoms not root causes. Thus keeping people sick and dependent. The opposite of what healthcare ought to be.

Chris practices what he preaches too. He is his own patient and has recently lost over 100 pounds and kicked his high blood pressure medication.

My guest today is Valerie Hamaker, a licensed mental health professional and co-host of the popular Latter Day Struggles podcast—a show focused on helping individuals, especially members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, navigate the emotional and spiritual challenges that arise from complex church history and theology.

Recently, Valerie and her husband Nathan were summoned to appear before a membership disciplinary council—a process that often results in excommunication. Instead of participating, they chose to resign their membership.

The way they’ve been treated by their local leaders—what I’d call a clear attempt at silencing—feels not only confusing and unsettling, but also symptomatic of deeper cracks within the structure and institution of the LDS Church.
