“Your life isn’t going to be what you thought it was going to be and how you planned, but it’s going to be better than you could ever imagine.” Rosemary Thackeray is a public health professor, a BYU administrator, and the current BYU Women’s Conference Chair. In this episode, we talk with Rosemary about her decision to earn a Ph.D. and how she drew upon her professional expertise as a Young Women General Board member. She shares how she was comforted and guided by personal revelation when both her parents passed away in 2019, testifying of her deep trust that Heavenly Father keeps His promises as we live in faith. Rosemary invites women of all ages to participate in BYU Women’s Conference on April 29-30, 2021 to be strengthened and unified with women of faith around the world.
