Motherhood Messages, Heather's Story

This complete interview may be heard at the LDS Women Project podcast.

Heather grew up in a large family in the 1970s and 80s in Salt Lake County, Utah. During her childhood, she absorbed messages about motherhood and womanhood that complicated some of the pain and difficulty she faced through her childbearing years. As she and her husband experienced challenges and choices, blessings and loss, she developed what she feels is a truer perspective on her worth as a daughter of God, and on the responsibilities and privileges associated with motherhood. Her faith in Christ and in loving Heavenly Parents has sustained and guided her.
