Agents of Transformation: Living Life Aligned with Our Values

In the latest episode of my Agents of Transformation series, I interview my mentor, teacher and friend: Mormon feminist Carol Lynn Pearson.  

I began reading Carol Lynn Pearson's poems and plays and stories as a teenager.  In the pages of her books, I discovered a way of looking at the world unlike anything I’d previously encountered as a Mormon girl. Carol Lynn Pearson centers a woman’s perspective and experience. 

Like mine, Carol Lynn's life has been filled with joy and sorrow.  From each loss, she has gathered wisdom. In this interview, she speaks to that process, and to the similarities between birth and death. Note: toward the end of the interview, I share with her (and you) my very first SDE (shared death experience), when my mother died in 1990.

Throughout decades of activism, Carol Lynn has taken a strong stand on behalf of those who have been “other-ed” or shunned.  She offers women of all paths a model for how to live a legacy life, centered on our core values. 

I’m so grateful to be in community with a leader like Carol Lynn.  I hope you’ll enjoy the interview.
