Zoom In, Zoom Out

2022/06/29

Welcome to our last episode for the summer! Today we're going to be talking about zooming in and out the focus on our lives. When we're feeling a sense of urgency or anxiety, it can help so much to just zoom out for a bit. We can zoom out anywhere from a few minutes to the span of eternity. Whatever we are worried about is probably going to be just fine! And even if we don't know it, we can trust that Heavenly Father does. Sometimes zooming out feels overwhelming and scary. It's these moments that

Teenage Breakups

Breakups are hard, no matter what age you are. And watching your teenager go through a breakup can bring all those negative emotions right back to the surface. I've had three different people ask me to talk about breakups in the past week, so I figured it was a sign! Here are some tips I'll talk about in today's episode of what is your job when your teen goes through one. 1. Clean up your thinking! 2. Allow your children to have whatever experience they need to have. 3. Believe in your child. 4

Talking Back

2022/06/15

I had a teenager that was constantly "talking back" to me. For a while, it drove me absolutely CRAZY! I told myself it meant all sorts of things like he didn't respect me as a mother, he thought he was smarter than me, etc. But I came to realize, he was simply expressing himself. He was trying to be understood just like I was. Once I made this shift in my mind, I realized just how valuable this skill of questioning and trying to understand for himself was. And I LOVE the independent adult he has

Brain Science for Dummies

2022/06/08

Today on the podcast I want to talk to you about something that has been incredibly helpful for me in my coaching journey and in my life in general. I want to talk about how our brains work. Specifically, I'll teach you just a little bit about the primal brain that seeks pleasure, our emotional brain, and our "higher self" brain. Don't worry, we'll keep it super simple. But learning this information has helped me to be able to see why I'm having the thoughts that I'm having, and subsequently, make

How Do You Want To Feel?

LIKING the people you LOVE ·

2022/06/01

What an intriguing question that is- how do you want to feel? If you've been listening for a while you know that we get to choose our thoughts that create our emotions. Often when I ask my clients that question they automatically respond that they want to feel neutral. All they know is that they're in pain and they want it to stop. But we also know that our brain looks for evidence to confirm whatever we're focused on. So even if we're focused on "I don't want to feel this way," our brain is

Try This Instead

2022/05/25

It happens pretty often in my house that a kid doesn't react how I would have liked them to. They don't like the rules, they ask for my advice but don't really want it, they want to blame things on everybody else, etc. It can be so tempting to fight them on it- to get into a power struggle that won't ultimately benefit anybody. But instead, I want to give you some responses to some scenarios that a lot of my clients ask about. These responses eliminate the power struggles and take the drama out of

Transitions

2022/05/18

No matter what stage of life you're in, it's full of transitions. Some good- a wedding or a new house or a baby, and some hard- the death of a loved one or loss of a job. As humans, we naturally want to be comfortable. So even if we are excited about a change, it's probably going to come with some amount of discomfort, which can be a challenge for us. However, I have some suggestions on how to embrace these transitions that will inevitably come as part of our experience here on earth. If we slow

Should I Be Upset?

LIKING the people you LOVE ·

2022/05/11

I'm in a Facebook group of wives asking all sorts of questions and opinions, and lately I've been noticing a pattern. Someone will tell a story about their husband not meeting their expectations or their mother-in-law not respecting their wishes, etc. Then they'll pose this question in some form- "Should I be upset?" The short answer is- you can if you want to, but it probably won't do you any good. I think in most of these situations, we're mostly looking for people to agree with us (like me when

Tell the Truth

2022/05/04

What if I told you you're probably not completely telling the truth in your relationships? I'm not talking about purposely lying to the people you care about, but believe it or not, this is something we ALL do! I was first introduced to this concept as a young parent from a book by Dr. James Jones, and since then have noticed so many situations in which I (and my clients) may be speaking out of fear or trying not to hurt someone's feelings instead of being completely honest. Have a listen to today's

You're Doing It Right

Today's episode is meant to help lift up the hands that hang down and strengthen feeble knees. Being a human is hard! Being a parent is hard! It's actually meant to be hard. Thankfully, we are not expected to be perfect at it. According to Elder Bednar: "Evening with a general authority" (Feb. 2020. See min. 34 ish) "If you are doing your best; if you are consecrated and devoted, you're not going to mess somebody up. Heaven is in charge of this. Not you. Not me." You are enough. You're doing it

Black and White Thinking

2022/04/20

It's so easy to see black and white thinking in our teenagers, but I think it's equally prevalent in us as parents. Sometimes we get fixated on the rules, and on making sure our kids "do it right." Maybe we think that getting homework done always comes before fun. But then we have a kid who is being crushed under the pressure of perfectionsim, and needs a night off more than he needs another A. Maybe we have a family rule that "we always go to church." But then we have a 17 year old who feels

Ending Conflict

I love how coaching tools can help me better live the principles of the gospel! In our recent general conference, President Nelson said, "None of us can control nations or the actions of others or even members of our own families. But we can control ourselves. My call today, dear brothers and sisters, is to end conflicts that are raging in your heart, your home, and your life." Today I'm sharing three coaching tools that will help you do just that.

A Happy, Thriving Mom

2022/04/06

We know from scripture that "Men are, that they might have joy." That also means "Moms are, that they might have joy." We are created to have joy in this life! And yet all too often, we get so bogged down with the to-do lists of life that we forget to have joy! Or we get so caught up in taking care of others that we lose touch with ourselves. We actually forget how to experience joy! Tune in this week to find out why it's crucial to the health of your family that you learn how to create joy in your

The Future

How many times have you lay in bed, playing a movie over and over in your mind of what you think the future will look like? I've done it so many times I can't keep track! And how many times has everything played out exactly how you envisioned it? If you're anything like me- probably little to none. One thing we DO know for sure about the future, is that nothing is for sure! All the worrying and trying to fix ours and our children's future before it even happens is probably actually causing more harm

Joy in Your Posterity

2022/03/23

Something we are promised as we keep our covenants is that we will "have joy in our posterity." But we also know that we can't experience joy without sorrow and difficulty. So it stands to reason that "negative emotions in our posterity" would also be part of the plan right? In a previous podcast episode I explained the difference between clean pain and dirty pain. This concept also applies to parenting! Here are three things I think we do with that dirty pain that just tend to suck the joy out of

A Call to Moms

2022/03/16

There was a cheesy church video about the Law of Chastity that came out back the the day. I looked to it up recently to see if I was remembering correctly, but this time there was a song that really stood out to me. In it was the phrase "you will not get lost if you walk beside her." Wow. That is so powerful to me, and exactly what I want those around me to be able to say about me! In order to become this person we need to 1. Be constantly increasing our own faith and 2. Invite people to walk beside

The Parable of the Fruit Trees

2022/03/09

Several years ago, we bought a house that had been foreclosed on and neglected for a year and a half. One of the most exciting parts of this property was that it had a ton of fruit trees on it! The problem was- we had no idea what kind of fruit trees they were. So we worked hard on those trees. We made sure they had good nutritious soil, water, sunlight, and that they were pruned enough to thrive. Then, we sat back and watched with delight as all these mystery trees slowly revealed so many kinds of

How to Not Freak Out

We've all been there- your child does something that sends you over the edge and you just lose it. It happens to the best of us! But how do you feel afterwards? How is that relationship affected? For me- no good ever comes from those freak-out moments. Luckily there are SO many things we can do to make sure they are few and far between. Here's a few of them that I'll talk about in today's episode: Be kind to yourself, and make sure that your needs are being met. Learn to pause and breathe deeply

Loving Yourself

For our last "love" topic for the month of February, I want to talk about loving yourself. Although, really, this one should come first. Here are five dead giveaways that you are great at loving yourself: You speak kindly to yourself. You take care of yourself and meet your own needs. You can comfortably acknowledge ALL the parts of yourself- the good and the "less-than-good." It's easy for you to love others. You are able to feel the love of God. Listen for specific examples in the episode and

Loving What Is

Have you ever heard the story of the cows and the buffalos? To sum it up for you- animals have a sense of when a storm is coming, and cows and buffalos have two very different ways that they react. Cows sort of panic and run the opposite direction. The storm eventually catches up to them, and since they're still running in the same direction, it prolongs the amount of time they're in it. But buffalos do pretty much the opposite. They band together, put their heads down and charge the storm! That
