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

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

"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

2021/12/08

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

This is What it's Like to Be Human

2021/11/24

Do you remember the catch phrase 'YOLO'? My teenagers would use it when they wanted to do something risky or something I normally wouldn't let them do. But what if instead, it meant something more? As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we believe that we lived with our Heavenly Father before we came to this earth. We believe that we knew the plan and we knew that our mortal journey was going to be hard, but we wanted to come anyways! Well what if 'You Only Live Once' meant

A Recipe for Joy

2021/11/10

We know from the scriptures that we are created "that [we] might have joy." But, much like some of the most delicious recipes, feeling joy can sometimes take a little more effort on our part. Luckily, my recipe for joy only has four ingredients. 1. Presence- What are you experiencing in this very moment? What are you seeing? Hearing? Smelling? Feeling? 2. Gratitude- Think about all the small, beautiful blessings we are so lucky receive in this life. No matter how hard things seem right now, I

Am I enough?

2021/11/03

One of the big worries that plague us as moms- am I enough? The answer is a bit confusing- yes and no. We can't be enough in this life. That is- we can't be possibly be perfect. But not being enough IS ENOUGH. As long as you're still trying, that is enough. Here's the link to Elder Cornish's talk from October 2016 LDS General Conference- It's a good one!

Parental Leadership

2021/11/03

One of our main jobs as a parent is to be a leader for our family. We want to guide, help, inspire, and be a cheerleader for our children! Today, we talk about how to become the leader we want to be. Some of the best ways to do this are: 1. Leading by example (see Emotional Adulthood), 2. Having a clear vision, which we can then share with our children 3. Truly understanding and connecting with our children 4. Believe in them! Luckily for us, we have the BEST example of leadership- our Savior Jesus

Contention in the Home

2021/10/20

I think a lot of people would agree that one of the most frustrating parts of parenting is when your kids fight. My husband and I have tried countless things to eliminate contention in our home, some of which were downright ridiculous! But a lot of the times, I ended up getting frustrated and joining right in which, of course, didn't do anybody any good. Can you relate? Luckily for us, it turns out kids being mean or fighting actually has nothing to do with us! And it doesn't have to dictate the way

How to Doubt Not, Fear Not

2021/10/13

In Doctrine & Covenants 6:36, we are told to "doubt not, fear not." With everything we face in our lives, this commandment can seem easier said than done, or may even feel impossible at times. But what if I told you that we can CHOOSE to have faith that everything will work out? In this episode we will explore how we can increase our faith to combat those fears and doubts that plague us every day. Mental illness, confusion of faith, contention- these are just a few of the challenges we may face

Teens and Social Media

2021/10/06

In 2014, Elder David A. Bednar spoke to members of the church at Education Week at BYU. He talked about using social media to flood the earth with goodness. But we've seen that social media can also be harmful, especially to young people, when used carelessly. How can we teach and train the rising generation to use this powerful tool in a way that blesses them and the world? I believe it starts with the way we as parents think about it. If we think of social media as evil or destructive, we are

Age Appropriate Behaviors

Have you ever watched a baby cry and thought to yourself, "I can't belive that baby is crying! They're going to grow into an adult that whines and cries until people give them what they want." No? Then why do we do that with our teenagers? In today's episode we talk about how most of the things our children- especially teens- do is completely normal, and actually means that they are growing and developing right on schedule! And that means it's not our job to control every aspect of their lives

As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we are constantly striving to become. We want to become more patient, kind, or humble. We want to become a wonderful parent or a spiritual giant. We especially want to become more like our Savior Jesus Christ. But how do we do that? In this week's episode we talk about universal truths. No matter what church you belong to, if any at all, every single person will be able to take these truths and apply them to their life.

Today we're talking about brain loops. You know... like when you're lying in your bed at night replaying the same thoughts over and over and over. We'll talk about why your brain likes to do that, and how you can interrupt that cycle and find some peace.

Resentment

2021/09/08

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf said "There is enough heartache and sorrow in this life without our adding to it through our own stubbornness, bitterness and resentment. It's an easy trap to fall into as a parent. Feeling unappreciated or overworked can easily turn into a pattern of resentment. It doesn't have to be this way! Learning to let go of resentment is a great way to create a more joyful life!
