Better Than Happy Jody Moore | Female Sovereignty with McArthur Krishna

Do you ever feel like you’re not fully owning your agency and power as a woman? What does it mean to be a truly sovereign being, trusting in your own choices and inner wisdom?

In this episode, I explore these vital questions with a dear friend and inspiring leader, McArthur Krishna. McArthur is an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a prolific author, and a passionate advocate for women’s equality and empowerment. Her work centers around uplifting women’s roles, authority, and divinity within the church, and she’s here to share her wisdom on the importance of developing sovereignty, especially as women.

Join us this week to hear McArthur’s journey of learning to trust in her own sovereignty, even when they didn’t align with cultural norms or expectations. She offers powerful examples from her own life and from the lives of other LDS women who exemplified “soul sovereignty,” and we discuss why it’s so essential for women to anchor in their own soul development and create lives that truly serve them.

What does it mean to be a sovereign being? What does it mean to operate as one and to fully own your agency? And how do we negatively impact both our day-to-day lives and our relationships and our relationship with divinity if we aren’t fully owning our sovereignty? And how do we teach our children the importance of this as well?

In today’s episode, I have a conversation to share with you where my guests and I are going to dive into this topic. And my hope is that you will use it as a springboard by which to develop your own ideas and your own insight about this topic. This is episode 490, Female Sovereignty with McArthur Krishna.

Hello, everybody. Welcome to a very special episode of Better Than Happy. I am very excited to introduce you today to McArthur Krishna, if you’re not familiar with her, and to share with you a very interesting conversation I had with her recently.

McArthur is an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and an author and someone who I met maybe a little over five years ago through the Faith Matters Foundation and have really just learned so much from and enjoyed watching her navigate the space that she feels so passionate about, which is helping to bring useful awareness and tools and insight and help us think a little bit deeper about topics within the culture of our religion and the doctrine of our religion around topics like equality for men and women and feminism and the divine feminine and Heavenly Mother.

And I’ve just had a lot of interesting insights in the handful of conversations I’ve had with McArthur. Recently, she was in town and we went to lunch or dinner, we had a meal. And anyway, she was so fired up about this topic of women becoming sovereign beings. And I said, wait, wait, wait, wait, don’t tell me about it yet. Let’s get the mics out. Let’s press record and let’s talk about it when we can capture it for the podcast because it’s a topic that I feel passionate about as well.

McArthur and I have, of course, our own viewpoints and ideas about it, but I’m very excited to share this conversation with you because it’s something I just want you to think through as well in your own life. I know that it will have relevance whether y...
