Writing

 For questions about any specific piece, feel free to reach out. While I hold a PhD in Counseling Psychology, I'm also an English BA: My honors thesis was a Jungian literary analysis of Tennyson, if that tells you anything. Writing has always been where I feel most myself. It's my spiritual home. 

Dr. Money's academic writing is linked to below, starting with her BYU dissertation on Utah youth suicide prevention, and continues with writing two chapters in a book on female ordination, and publications as an author/member in Mormon Gender Issues Survey Group (findings covered by CNN above), child rights activism in international academia, and most recent findings from Dr. Money's Anorgasmia Survey, in which hundreds of women's anorgasmia stories have been collected and analyzed, challenging existing assumptions about the prevalence and scope of this disorder that affects so many.

Written by Dr. Money for The Healthy Mormon Journeys Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit:

Tounge-in-cheek homage, down to pastel color schemes and images, to the LDS missionary training materials from 1960s onward that every missionary memorized, but written as feminist consciousness-raising group materials. Written while on Executive Board of gender equality activist group Ordain Women, also a 501c3 nonprofit. Circulated widely in the movement and covered by NYT, Guardian, and SL Tribune as contributing to co-leader's excommunictation.
