Hi friends—welcome back! Quick life update: I started a new job, met some great people, and explored new parts of Utah. But while I was away, my husband mentioned there were big storms in St. Louis—right where my son is serving. My old patterns of worry kicked in, but this time, I caught it. I reminded myself: I trust him. I trust God. It’s going to be okay.

That’s what inspired today’s episode. We’re talking about the quiet, sneaky thoughts running in the background—thoughts that shape how we experience everything.

President Nelson’s invitation to Think Celestial isn’t just a spiritual idea—it’s a practical tool for the moments when your mind starts spinning. Today, I’ll teach you how to:

• Recognize when your brain is gathering negative evidence
• Pause and ask: Is this thought lifting me higher or pulling me lower?
• Shift into more peaceful, faith-filled thinking—even when life is still hard

We’ll explore real-life examples and simple ways to change the stories your brain loves to repeat. And we’ll anchor this in Philippians 4:8—think on these things.

God isn’t asking for perfect thinking. Just one thought higher.

If this resonated with you, send me a DM or email. I love hearing how these episodes land for you! Have a beautiful week, and I’ll see you next time.

Hello, sweet friends. This podcast is my little love project, poured straight from my heart to yours. Whether you’ve been here from the start or just found me, I’m so grateful you’re here. If there’s ever a topic you’re struggling with that I haven’t covered, please reach out—I’d love to hear from you. My email is in the show notes, and you can always DM me on Instagram. Hearing from you is my favorite part of this work.

Today, we’re talking about growing pains—the kind that stretch your heart, not just your body. When we send our missionaries out into the world, they grow—but so do we. And just like those tender moments when our babies teethed or their legs ached from growth spurts, this kind of growth is often painful. But that pain? It’s not a sign something’s wrong. It’s a sign something sacred is happening.

We’ll explore why life is about growing again and again, why struggle is part of the plan, and how both you and your missionary are becoming something more—together, even if you’re far apart. I share personal stories, the honest wrestle of letting go, and powerful reminders from Elder Oaks, President Nelson, and Elder Uchtdorf to help you reframe pain as part of your divine journey.

So take a deep breath, mama. You’re not alone. You’re becoming. And it’s holy work.

If this episode resonates with you, I’d love to hear about it. And if you’re walking through your own growing pains, remember—some blessings come soon, some come late, and some don’t come until heaven. But they do come.

Happy Mother’s Day, my sweet friends. Today, I’m doing something I’ve never done before—sharing a bonus episode just for you.

Mother’s Day has sometimes felt more tender than joyful if you're anything like me. Maybe you’ve heard that loud, critical voice in your head reminding you of every misstep, every moment you weren’t enough. But what if today, we rebelled against that voice? What if we chose grace instead of shame?

Join me for a few deep breaths and a heartfelt reminder: you are enough, exactly as you are, right now. You don’t have to run faster than you have strength. You don’t have to earn your worthiness. And you don’t have to be perfect to be the perfect mom for your children.

In this episode, I share my own tender Mother’s Day memories with my missionaries—including a surprise bouquet all the way from Zimbabwe—and why this year, I’m inviting you to make Mother’s Day about you. Celebrate the unseen moments, the silent prayers, the way you keep showing up even when it’s hard.

Take a moment today to breathe, place your hand over your heart, and say out loud, “I am enough.” Because you are. You always have been.

Happy, peaceful, grace-filled Mother’s Day.

P.S. If you have a quiet moment today, write down how you’re feeling and a few ways you’re learning to extend grace to yourself. That’s the kind of tradition worth starting.
