Kim Siever is a Canadian LDS father and journalist who has arthritis, asthma and ADHD.
In this interview, Serena and Katie discuss Kim's experience with how the concept and focus of "reverence" in the church affects his worship as a person with ADHD, his diagnosis journey, the idea of sensory rooms at church and the inherent problems of how "the mother's lounge" is named and designed into our chapels, and how to fulfill our covenant to build up Zion. He also shares a brief history of the white supremacist movement hidden within Ottawa's blockades and protests.
You can support Kim by following his news site- kimsiever.ca - and his social media. He is on all platforms under Kim Siever.

Ep. 39: Maggie Slighte - "Becoming the Person I'm Meant to Be"
This is a follow-up interview with Maggie Slighte, whose first interview we released two weeks ago!
Maggie Slighte (she/her, they/them) is a neurodivergent and disabled, writer, Tiktok creator, DID system, and former Mormon. In this interview, we find out why Maggie decided to remove their records from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and how that journey really was a long time coming. We discuss cognitive dissonance, OCD and religious scrupulosity, and Maggie's queer identity. This conversation highlights how traumatizing it can sometimes be for multiply marginalized and neurodivergent people to simply exist in the Church.
At wHoly Human, we are so proud to know Maggie, and fully support her as her spiritual journey continues to grow outside of the Church!
Important note: Maggie is currently looking for an agent for their upcoming memoir, The Car That Ran on Prayers! Please get in touch if you have any leads!

Ep. 38: Maggie Slighte, p. 1 - Rebel for God
Today we will be sharing the conversation we had with Maggie Slighte back in 2021. Maggie is well known in the Mormon podcasting community, as one-fourth of the now-concluded podcast, Strangers No More, which joined wHoly Human in the Dialogue Podcast Network in 2021.
But Maggie's creative juices haven't stopped flowing! They are a rebel, a community builder, and an online activist. She currently runs Slightely Maggie (https://www.facebook.com/SlightelyMaggie/)(a podcast and a YouTube vlog) and MyMesBlog.com (https://app.redcircle.com/shows/9e09a0d0-78b9-4894-845c-cfc24aeb89c7/ep/MyMesBlog.com), sharing their experience with multiplicity/DID. Maggie can also be found on TikTok as @neurodivergentgranny (https://www.tiktok.com/@neurodivergentgranny)!
It took some time for us to release this episode into the world, and a lot has changed in Maggie's life since we had this interview. In lieu of these important updates, we plan on releasing a second part to this interview in the next few weeks to check back in with Maggie and learn from them.
