You're Doing It Right

2022/04/27

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

LIKING the people you LOVE ·

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

2022/03/30

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

LIKING the people you LOVE ·

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

2022/03/02

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

2022/02/24

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

Languages of Love

2022/02/09

Chances are you've probably heard of Gary Chapman's five love languages. But rather than thinking of them in a romantic sense, today I want to put those love languages in the context of strengthening our relationships with our children and, even more importantly, ourselves. Words of affirmation, acts of service, physical touch, gifts, quality time, and I would add food ;) all have a place in helping our teens feel loved, whether they choose to accept it or not. It's also important to make sure

Love at Home

2022/02/02

Nobody likes listening to fighting at home. In fact, the Book of Mormon even tells us that we should be teaching our children not to fight and quarrel(Mosiah 4:14-15). I don't know about you, but my knee-jerk reaction when I hear my kids fighting is to jump right in the middle of it. I used to think that in order for everyone to love each other, I had to get them to stop fighting. But what if that's backwards? What if, in order to get my family to stop fighting, I have to create an atmosphere of

Clean Pain, Dirty Pain

2022/01/26

I want you to think about your first reaction when you feel a negative emotion. Do you shove it down and try to ignore it? Do you think about it nonstop to the point of wallowing it? We all have moments where we do these. But today, I'm here to tell you that emotional pain does not mean that something has gone wrong. Part of being a human is that we get to experience this wild ride of emotions- good and bad. Now I'm not talking about mental illness or trauma response or other situations that require

The Power of Words

2022/01/19

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..." Those are arguably some of the most powerful words in history that previously, and even at that time, weren't actually believed by most. But when they were written down, all of a sudden, it set a new standard for mankind. What are some of the most powerful words you've heard in your life? Our words create our reality. The words we speak to those around us and especially to ourselves have a profound impact on our thoughts

Reducing Conflict with Teenagers

Picture this: Your teenager is on a rampage this afternoon. Huffing and puffing, slamming doors, snapping at siblings, rolling their eyes at you and demanding to know how you think they're supposed to get everything they're supposed to done in time. Sound familiar? First of all, remain calm. Easier said than done, I know. After all, you told them to work on their school project instead of hanging out with friend last night! But remember- giving in and matching their emotionally heightened, illogical

When Your Child Leaves the Church

2022/01/05

One thing that a lot of my clients are struggling with or have struggled with in the past is one or more of their children questioning and/or leaving the church. It's so easy to let our fears take over in this situation- What if they live a life full of misery? What if we don't get to be together forever as a family? While we can't predict the outcome, we do know that Heavenly Father has a perfect plan for each one of us. And in the meantime, I have a few tips that can significantly ease the burden

Tips for Family Gatherings

We all know that the Christmas season is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, right? I know it is for me! But what about that mother-in-law that always criticizes your parenting or the sister that tries to guilt you into staying longer than you have the energy for? Family get-togethers, work parties, or gatherings in general are such a huge part of the holidays for most people, and for many of those people they can be a source stress, anxiety, or maybe even dread. Well to those of you
