Summary

It’s easy to assume that when we’re all in the same room, we’re hearing, seeing, and experiencing the same things. But this discussion between three sisters shows that living in the same house, growing up in the same family, and attending the same ward and church activities carries no such guarantee. In Episode 129, Cynthia is joined by her two sisters for a conversation about how even Latter-day Saint women who share many commonalities are not having the same experiences in life or at church. It’s an episode about how paths diverge and every journey with faith is a personal one.

1:00.0	because I literally am just recording with my actual sisters. So there are three of us on the
1:06.2	podcast today, so we gave Susan the day off so that she wouldn't feel like the fourth wheel in this group of Harrington sisters here talking today.
