In today’s episode we will be addressing feminism, violence against women and embracing our unique gifts as women with the ability to understand our power as a priestess, officiating as apprentices to our heavenly mother. It may seem random, but we’re going to tie together as we talk about what it takes to become a Zion type community.

Today I’m interviewing Dr. Valerie Hudson a major thought leader when it comes to priestisthood and embracing the theology of heavenly mother, dr. Hudson has published several articles under the pen name of VH Kessler in regards to these ideas on square 2. In our next episode will be doing a reading of some of these articles.

Her spiritual work is a passion project that runs alongside her academic work where Dr. Valerie Hudson is a Distinguished scholar and expert on international security and foreign policy, she specializes in analysis of the relationship between gender and security, Dr. Hudson has developed a nation-by-nation database, called the WomanStats Database, containing empirical work linking the security of women to the security of states that is used by the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the United Nations, and International Security. she has been named the top 100 most Influential Global Thinkers by foreign policy. Her findings have been widely published. She has also authored several books on the Security Implications of how Sex Shapes Governance and National Security world wide. Dr. Hudson sees her esteemed academic work and her spiritual journey playing hand and hand as she understands intimately violence against women and what she calls the curse of nations and how and what we must do to overcome the historical predicament of violence against women and the potential consequences if we do not overcome this horrific situation.

In this podcast, we cover some amazing ground, there are definitely adult themes that are difficult to grapple with and may be inappropriate for little ears. We cover violence against women that could potentially be triggering if you have been exposed to these horrors. We encourage you to honor wherever you’re at on these issues. If you feel like you need to skip our discussion about violence against women, you could skip to minute 45 where we will be focused on the helpful tools for embracing our full potential as women. With that said let’s go ahead and jump right into my interview with Dr. Valerie Hudson.
