  • She Was Never Absent: What Mother in Heaven Means for LDS Women
    Feb 17 2026

    What does The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints actually teach about Mother in Heaven? Is the doctrine of Heavenly Mother speculation, or is it established LDS doctrine?

    In this episode, we walk through the official Gospel Topics essay “Mother in Heaven” and explore what Latter-day Saint women can confidently know about their divine identity. We discuss Heavenly Parents, the Plan of Salvation, being created in the image of a Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother, and why love in heaven was never singular.

    You’ll hear scripture, prophetic teachings, and why this doctrine matters deeply for LDS women navigating faith, motherhood, and identity today.

  • How to Stop Overthinking After Hard Conversations
    Feb 10 2026

    Do you replay hard conversations in your mind long after they end? Do you find yourself overthinking what you said, what you should have said, or what it all means?

    In this episode, you will learn how to stop overthinking after hard conversations by understanding what is actually happening in your brain and nervous system. I share a simple coaching tool that helps calm emotional spirals, regulate your emotions, and bring your mind back to a grounded, steady place.

    This episode is especially for LDS moms who feel emotionally unsettled after conversations with their spouse, adult children, or family members. We talk about why overthinking happens, how emotional activation affects your thoughts, and how to use your higher brain instead of letting fear, self doubt, or anxiety take over.

    You will learn how to calm your mind after difficult conversations, stop replaying conversations on repeat, and support yourself emotionally without judgment or shame. Feeling emotional after a hard conversation does not mean you are failing. It means your body is asking for support.

    If you want more peace, clarity, and confidence after hard conversations, this episode will give you practical tools you can use right away. I also share how coaching can help if you want support applying this in real life.

    You aren't meant to do it alone. Let's talk, you will feel better after one call.

  • How LDS Moms Can Love Their Adult Children Without Losing Peace
    Feb 10 2026

    You are not meant to do this alone.
    Let's talk

    Loving your adult child can feel emotionally exhausting, especially when their choices do not align with your values or how you raised them. Many LDS moms find themselves deeply connected while quietly carrying worry, anxiety, and responsibility that was never meant to be theirs.

    In this episode, we talk about how to love your adult child without losing yourself. You will learn how to stay connected without confusing love with agreement, and how to stop carrying your child’s choices in your nervous system.

    This conversation explores faith, agency, boundaries, and emotional entanglement, and what it looks like to love your adult child while staying grounded, faithful, and at peace.

    If you are an LDS mom navigating relationships with adult children and want more clarity and peace, I offer free clarity calls. Schedule yours through the link in the show notes or visit my website to learn more.
