135: Jennifer and Shaunie | Stepping Across Lines To Embrace Our Happiness

Shaunie Schow was a small-town Idaho woman who served as a Relief Society President and in the Stake Relief Society presidency.

Jennifer Saunders was the complete opposite.

Individually, they navigated their desires to love and be loved. They both worked to do good in the world and to cultivate Christlike attributes.

Together, they found the measure of their creation.

This is story of hope, of love, and of rising above the expectations of a community to live an authentic and honest life.

In this episode Jenn discusses her TEDtalk: "Loving Outside the Lines".

The link to that talk is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8H1BDHvbyk
