Episode 192: Embracing Your Journey | A Conversation with Anne Pimentel
“We can do things a little differently and still be okay,” says Anne Pimentel. She’s a natural—but also intentional—space-maker, devoted to the idea that one can be a “good member” of the Church without fitting the mold. In Episode 192 Anne joins Susan and Cynthia for a conversation about how she learned and has internalized this lesson for herself. She’s a Latter-day Saint woman whose desire to be an ally in all areas continues to shape the way she shows up in her ward and in the world.

“When we allow ourselves to be changed by the experiences of another’s pain, we build bonds with people we once called strangers. Sharing in one another’s grief can also lead to sharing in one another’s joy. When people who have no obvious reason to love each other come together to grieve, they can give birth to new relationships, even revolutions.” —Valarie Kaur
“The world is a symphony of diversity. The variety of plant and animal life alone is staggering. Add the infinite range of human personality, talent, and experience, and we begin to appreciate the boundlessly creative mind of God, who is both the Organizer of all that diversity and the Chief Delighter in it.” —Patrick Mason
