Latter-Day Lesbian

This week we talk about the various love languages, based on the book by Gary Chapman, and delve into which ones apply to each of us (yes Shelly, sex could be considered an act of service). But don't worry, we keep the discussion mostly above the belt and give the episode a PG-13 rating. But that pretty much applies to every episode, so there ya go.

Today Diana joins us for a discussion about what obvious or implicit rules current members of the LDS church seem to be comfortable with bending. So grab your tankinis and get ready to show off those porn shoulders! We also stumble upon a surprise FUMPOTD (who knew)! And Diana has an announcement to make. So please join us!

In this episode we read from a 1972 article in the LDS Ensign entitled, "A Letter to Girls About Lady Missionaries." We'd like to thank an LDL-er, Beck, for bringing this pile o' crap to our attention. And hidden inside this literary gem was a "She Said What" and a FUMPOTD, so it made for some excellent content, much eye rolling and loud laughter.

In this episode, Kimberly joins us for part 2 of our follow up to our conversation about narcissism and codependency. We also read a letter from a listener who has benefitted from our Patreon support, so thank you, thank you to all of our LDL patrons! And also, special thanks to everyone who submitted questions that contributed to this amazing discussion. Music provided by Purple Planet: https://p...

This week Kimberly joins us for part 1 of a 2-part follow up to our narcissism and codependency discussion. Shelly shares a personal story about her struggle with a narcissist. Also, we come up with a potentially lucrative food truck idea, and Uncle Pirate God pays us a visit. Be afraid. Music provided by Purple Planet: https://purple-planet.com .

This week is all about the segments, such as "Mormon Mad-libs" and "Shiver Me Scriptures." We also read a letter and Shelly enlightens us once again from that riveting text: "Fascinating Womanhood." Please grab a cup of LDL After Dark (latterdaylesbian.org/coffee) and join us, won't you? Music provided by Purple Planet: https://purple-planet.com .

In this week's episode we have a couple admissions to make. But sharing promotes healing, right? At least that's what we're telling ourselves. We also read a letter and dive deep into Shelly's Journal Journey. And since we forgot to mention it, we'd like to retroactively thank our coffee sponsor, Mahogany Queen Coffee Co. Please visit www.latterdaylesbian.org/coffee for a promotional link. Thank y...

Greetings from our Potomac cottage - future Airbnb site. For this episode we set up the portable mics in the closet. It's not our studio space, unfortunately, but it will have to do. Join us for an update on our progress, a report on small-town living, a Mother's Day recap and more. We promise it'll be way more fun than a water bottle, douche and enema combo (for real - you can't make this stuff u...

Happy Mom's Day. This week we take a look at motherhood through the lens of past LDS presidents. What a treat that is. We also read a listener letter, and Pirate God reads from the Book of Mormon and also *gulp* Patron names. Patrons, we apologize in advance for that.

Welcome to the masturbation episode! Today we discuss the disciplinary hearing of sex therapist, Natasha Helfer. We also read an excerpt from former quorum of the twelve member, Mark E. Petersen, and discover his oh so progressive views on ways to abstain from self love. Once again, an LDS leader has provided some fantastic material. It's comedy gold, people. Music provided by Purple Planet: https...

This week's theme seems to be man parts for some reason. Weird. We also recap general conference, make fun of sky daddy once again, and Sister Fanny Fact Check pays us a visit. Welcome back, sister! Music provided by Purple Planet: https://purple-planet.com .

Today, Kimberly joins Mary for a fascinating discussion about Narcissistic Personality Disorder or NPD. We get sidetracked a bit (who, us?) with a tangent about animated Christmas specials, but Kimberly quickly figures out a way to relate it to the topic at hand. Thanks Kimberly! And don't worry folks, we don't actually get coked up in the beginning (turns out allergy season is also no joke). Refe...

This week we check out some random Bible versus and discover how truly kind and loving Sky Dad is. And by kind and loving we mean vengeful and petty. So that's a neat li'l treat. Speaking of dads...Shelly unpacks some hard realizations about hers. Oh, and Pirate God reads from the Book of Mormon. We want to thank a listener, Paige, for providing that fun idea. We also want to give a shout out to o...

A heads up - we discuss sexual themes in today's episode that features an interview with Craig Call, the bisexual grandson of Richard G. Scott. Find out what it's like to grow up with a member of the Quorum of the Twelve. We also discover Craig's love for languages, his interest in pornography and consensual non monogamy. Possibly not what grandpa had in mind. Welcome Craig! Music provided by Purp...

Welcome to our first-ever "roadcast." We decided to record this one heading back from Mary's Mom's place in Norfolk, VA. Listen to find out if Mary misses her exit or if Shelly passes out from holding her breath in the Hampton Roads tunnel. There's also a riveting story involving an Arby's milkshake, a "he said what," plus Pirate God makes an appearance. Enjoy! Music provided by Purple Planet: htt...

Please join this week's guest host, our very own Kimberly Anderson, as she brings us an episode of HER new podcast: Therapist on Therapist. Check it out wherever you listen to podcasts, or here: https://anchor.fm/kimberly-anderson-mft

Please join us for an in-depth conversation with Lance Sweeten and his transgender daughter, Gwen.

This week we talk to Alli Harper, cofounder of OurShelves: a website that curates high-quality children's books that feature racially and ethnically diverse, LGBTQ+, and feminist characters and families, among other currently under-represented identities in children's books. We also uncover a new marketing strategy for Subaru in the lesbian space. https://www.ourshelves.com , and on social media:...

This week we hear from 3 NeverMos who describe their own struggle with leaving religion and coming to terms with their sexuality. Turns out Mormons don't have exclusive ownership of that process. We want to thank Andrea (Annie), Kelsey and Libbie for bravely sharing their stories. And if you would like to send us a letter please visit www.latterdaylesbian.org/contact . Thank you! Music provided by...

When you listen to this week's episode you'll find out just what her theory is (it may or may not have something to do with shit). Today we talk codependency, and if you were raised in a high-demand religion, you might be inclined to "put a finger down" at some point during this conversation (that will also make more sense when you listen). We're getting into it today, so please join us! Music pro...

Welcome to this week's mixed bag o' goodies. From trauma processing to FUMPOTD's, licked pork chops, wand games and botched barbershop "duets" (not a thing)...this episode is what we like to call planned ramblings. Also we have a report from Flourish Therapy about how many counseling sessions your Patreon tithing dollars paid for in 2020. Special thanks to all of our Patrons for their continued fi...

This episode is all about our most recent guest's spiritual journey known as Evolutionary Astrology. Mary and Linda have known each other for nearly 30 years, and they talk about how they met, what brought Linda to Atlanta, GA, and what became a big part of Linda's karmic story: when her path intersected with the Indigo Girls. It's a fascinating conversation that we hope you enjoy. References from...

This week we discuss the latest revisions to the Mormon handbook, Shelly quizzes Mary on a FUMPOTD (raise your hand if you think Mary got this one), and Pirate God pays us a visit. Enjoy! Music provided by Purple Planet: https://purple-planet.com .
