Quote Me - S4 E9 Leah Jacobson

  A fter a bit of a hiatus, we are thrilled to be back with Leah Jacobson, founder and CEO of The Guiding Star Project , International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, and author of Wholistic Feminism: Healing the Identity Crisis Caused by the Women’s Movement . Leah lives in Central Minnesota with her husband, Josh, and seven children.    Her quote comes from Edmund Burke (we think; that attribution is contested), and was painted on the wall of her high school psychology classroom:   “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”    A couple other quotes we discuss in this episode are from St. Teresa of Calcutta:   “I do not pray for success; I ask for faithfulness.”   “We have the obligation to speak the truth but we don’t have to convince anyone.”    and St. Augustine:   “T he truth is like a lion. You don't have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself.” Leah also mentioned the film, The Business of Birth Control .   Connect with
