Better Than Happy Jody Moore | The Rise of Feminism in the LDS Church Part 2: Guest Expert Kara Loewentheil As women, we are often socialized to see ourselves in a certain way based on the messages we receive from society and our religious communities. These subtle (and not-so-subtle) influences shape our thoughts about our own capabilities, roles, and worth – often without us even realizing it.

Have you ever stopped to consider how the society we live in has impacted the way you think about yourself as a woman? For this series on the rise of feminism in the LDS church, I knew I needed to bring in some experts with more experience in this space than I have. The first person who came to my mind is my dear friend, New York Times Bestselling author, podcaster, and Master Certified Life Coach Kara Loewentheil.

Tune in this week for a fascinating discussion about becoming aware of societal influences, rethinking what it means to be a woman in the Church, and learning to embrace your own authority. Whether you consider yourself a feminist or not, this episode will challenge you to examine your own beliefs and empower you to create change in your life and community.

483. The Rise of Feminism in the LDS Church Part 1: Coaching Session

Welcome back to the podcast my friends. Boy, do I have a treat for you today. If you are not familiar with Kara, I cannot wait to introduce you to her. Not only is she brilliant and kind and a Master Coach, but she also has the best wit and humor. Every time I talk to Kara, I leave with my stomach hurting from laughing so hard. And this conversation was no different.

So when I decided to do a series on the rise of feminism in the LDS Church, I knew I needed to bring in some experts, some people who know more and have been working in this space longer than me. And the first person who came to my mind is my dear friend, Kara Loewentheil.

So Kara and I first met when we were both studying and working as coaches through The Life Coach School. We have a long history together, and we couldn’t be more different in many other ways, though. Kara and I come from different religious backgrounds, different socioeconomic situations, different education levels, let’s just say, with Kara being far above mine, and she is one of my most favorite people to learn from, and she really always challenges and expands my thinking. So I am so excited for you to learn from her and experience her personality as well. This is The Rise of Feminism, Part Two with Guest Expert, Kara Loewentheil.

Welcome to Better Than Happy, the podcast where we transform our lives by transforming ourselves. My name is Jody Moore. In the decade-plus I’ve been working with clients as a Master Certified Coach, I’ve helped tens of thousands of people to become empowered. And from empowered, the things that seemed hard become trivial, and the things that seemed impossible become available, and suddenly, a whole new world of desire and possibility open up to you. And what do you do with that?

Well, that’s the question… what will you do? Let’s find out.

Sometimes, listening to a podcast is enough. But sometimes, you’ll feel inspired to go deeper. If you hear things that speak to you in today’s episode, consider it your invitation to a complimentary coaching workshop.

On this live, interactive Zoom call with me, you’ll get a taste of the power of this work when applied in real life. You can participate, or be a silent observer.
