Show Notes
In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with licensed therapist Valerie Hamaker to explore what it truly means to brave the wilderness—to stand firm in your values and authenticity, even when it means walking alone. She specializes in faith expansion in and around the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints but has much to teach about psychological maturity, theological health, and institutional integrity.
Valerie shares how cultivating inner courage allows us to navigate disconnection, societal pressure, and the fear of rejection. Inspired by the themes of Brené Brown’s Braving the Wilderness, this conversation delves into the emotional resilience required to stay true to oneself amidst external noise.
