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

Gospel Appllications

2021/09/22

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. We talk about

Brain Loops

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!

Emotions Don't Need to be Fixed

2021/09/01

Job 38:7 tells us that when we understood the plan for us to come to earth, we shouted for joy! We couldn't wait to have the experience of being human, with all it's ups and downs. And yet now, when we (or our children) feel negative emotions, we think something has gone wrong. We think we need to hurry and solve the problem so that we can return to happy as soon as possible. The truth is that a rich, full life is made up of all kinds of emotions. In today's episode we'll talk about how to allow our

Motivating Teens

2021/08/25

Teenagers are notorious for sleeping in late, procrastinating their chores, and putting fun as their highest priority. And while that's certainly not true for ALL teens, many parents find themselves struggling to keep their teenager motivated and focused on the things that matter. In this episode I'm talking as a fellow struggling parent. I'm constantly trying to find more effective ways to motivate without trying to control or manipulate my kids. I've been through enough teenagers to have learned a

What Could I Have Done Differently?

It's a question most of us moms have asked ourselves. And sometimes maybe it's a useful question, but often it's not. If you ever find yourself wishing you could go back and do things differently in your parenting, then today's episode is for you!

Hearing God's Voice in Parenting

2021/08/04

President Nelson has said "In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting and constant influence of the Holy Ghost." This is true with respect to our own spiritual safety and conversion. I believe it's also true in regard to our parenting. To be the kind of parents the Lord needs us to be, we need to be able to hear God's voice. We need Him to guide, direct and comfort us in our parenting. Today's episode talks about how to get better at

One Hundred Percent Lovable

LIKING the people you LOVE ·

2021/06/30

Today we're talking about the fact that every human in the world is one hundred percent lovable. Isn't that great to know? That means that we don't need to wait for anyone to change in order for us to love them more. From Dieter F. Uchtdorf "Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely. Though we are imperfect, God loves us perfectly." If we want to love people more, all we need to do is improve our skill of loving! Brene Brown says it this way, "Our job is unconditional love. The job of

You're Not Alone

2021/06/16

Today's message is short and sweet. It's a reminder that you're not alone in this struggle that you're dealing with. Struggling is why we're here, and no one is immune. It's the struggles that help us become who we want to be. It's also a message of hope. I love this quote from President Gordon B. Hinckley: "It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust

Referenced in this episode: "Christ is Risen; Faith in Him Will Move Mountains" by Russel M Nelson Hebrews 11:1 KJV "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." "The way kids learn to make good decisions is by making decisions, not by following directions." Alfie Kohn, Unconditional Parenting: Moving from Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason

Dealing With Disrespectful Teens

LIKING the people you LOVE ·

2021/05/19

This episode is addressing a question I get often from my clients. How do I deal with a disrespectful teenager? One thing we know from the scriptures is that the way to have genuine power and influence in someone's life is not through coersion or power struggles. Proving we are stronger and trying to demand respect is not the same thing as teaching or earning genuine respect. True respect and the right to be an influence in our childrens' lives is gained by "persuasion, by long-suffering, by
