Goodness Without Disappearing

Desirae Terry speaking on stage in front of a slide reading “Goodness Without Disappearing”

When Selflessness Becomes Self-Erasure

What happens when being a “good woman” starts to mean having fewer needs?

Desirae explores the line between loving others and abandoning ourselves, especially for women whose ideas of goodness, sacrifice and worth have grown tangled together.

This warm, faith-centered conversation invites women to look at the rules they inherited, and to consider that God never asked them to disappear in the first place.

Perfect forChristian and Latter-day Saint women’s events, faith conferences, retreats and ministries.
