Does hearing the phrase "self-care" bring to mind feelings of guilt, frustration, or "it must be nice?" Are you picturing snooty upper-class women leaving the kids with the nanny while they spend the day at the spa gossiping and planning their next day on the lake? In this first episode of our series on Self-Care, Lisa voices her frustration with the idea of self-care, and digs into how we can push past the superficial stigma and start figuring out how to take care of ourselves the way we all deserve.
Abinadi quoted this chapter word for word as he stood in front of King Noah and his wicked priests. His powerful testimony about Jesus Christ changed the heart of one of those wicked priests. Could this chapter have been the chapter that changed him? If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here
I’m going to ask you to think of two events in your mind as we study Isaiah 51:3. Let’s talk about wildernesses and deserts!
We live in a day and age where people are constantly sharing parts of themselves with others. Social media is meant for sharing our lives, our likes, our accomplishments, our heartaches, and so much more. And yet, many of us shy away from sharing who we truly are. We fear that who we truly are isn’t enough. That if we share too much of ourselves it could possibly make others feel less than. Coach Davina Fear believes the opposite is true. She thinks that when we don’t share our true self - the essence of what makes us us - we are not showing up in the way God has intended us to be and we are depriving others of our greatness. God is a God of growth, expansion, and more. The world truly needs more of us, not less of us. And it certainly does not need a watered down version of who we really are. Davina wants all women to show up and share who they really are and so she has developed a course on how to take selfies that showcase ones uniqueness. It has helped so many women share the true versions of themselves and she wants to share what she’s learned with each of you.
We all have experiences in life that will not just define us, but also refine us. Join Carmen as she talks with Sister Michelle Craig from the Young Women’s General Presidency about lessons learned from service, life, infertility, and acting on the personal revelation you receive from Heavenly Father.
Too often we too are stressed and overwhelmed about the future to take the time to look for the “flickering assurances” of God’s love in our daily lives. If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here
The word “activist” tends to scare off a lot of people. And you may be wondering, does activism work? We often associate activism with social protests and political marches which get a lot of attention and can spark violence, but do they generate change? Iff we thought about activism differently, would more of us be motivated to work for change? In this podcast episode, we look to the example of Rosa Parks who did so much more than refuse to give up her seat on a segregated bus. And we consider why viral hashtags on social media rarely lead to big, lasting change. Plus, how a new definition of activism could motivate more of us to work on making the world a better place.
