Each Latter-day Saint’s path looks different, a combination of unique experiences, choices, and challenges. No matter how insistent our culture may sometimes feel, no woman fits in a mold. “I think my life began with holding dissonance,” explains comedian Whitney Call. “I grew up in a very faithful LDS family...but a little squidgy around the edges.

We’d bear our testimonies to each other, and we used crude humor about sex.” In Episode 243, Cynthia and Susan are joined by Whitney for a wide-ranging conversation about all of it—how it started, how it’s going, and one thing she knows right now (or did at the time of recording).
