"Your life isn't going to be what you thought it was going to be and how you planned, but it's going to be better than you could ever imagine." Rosemary Thackeray is a public health professor, a BYU administrator, and the current BYU Women's Conference Chair.

Within the vast tapestry of faith, individual voices create the most enduring threads. The Latter-day Saint Women Podcast focuses on these voices, weaving together personal narratives and spiritual insights from women across the globe. This isn't a lecture series, but a collection of conversations and stories that feel like sitting down with a thoughtful friend. You'll hear from historians exploring the lives of pioneering women whose choices helped build communities, and you'll listen to contemporary members discuss how they navigate modern challenges with gospel principles. Each episode of this podcast feels grounded and real, addressing topics like resilience, service, discipleship, and personal revelation through the lens of everyday experience. The common thread is a lived faith, presented without pretense. It’s a space for reflection on what it means to be a woman of faith in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, connecting the legacy of the past with the living testimony of the present. Tuning in regularly, you encounter a diverse chorus of perspectives, each contributing to a richer understanding of spiritual life. The discussions here are meant to uplift, validate, and sometimes gently challenge, always centering on the personal journey within a shared belief. This podcast naturally finds its home in moments of quiet contemplation or daily routine, offering substance and connection.
