When it comes to the Gospel we often believe that we shouldn’t need nor seek any perspective or views outside the Church circle for how to best live and implement its doctrines and principles.

She has been able to learn to love herself more, love others more, and truly live a more Christ like life. She wants those same blessings for all of her clients so come listen as she imparts her wisdom of more fully understanding and living the gospel through life coaching.
In her book Dare to Lead, Brene Brown defines values as “a way of being or believing, that we hold most important.” She goes on to state that you have to know what values guide your life. Coach Mary Ann Hill could not agree more. She feels values are the foundation for truly knowing yourself and how you want to live your life. She believes that when we don’t live by our values then we are living a life without direction. There are a lot of ways that living a life without direction can play out, but the one Mary Ann focuses on is the guilt so many mothers feel in their motherhood. When you are living by someone else’s values and trying to check off a list of “shoulds” it rarely leads to feeling happy and fulfilled, no matter what role you are performing.
I think it would be safe to say that every mother has an idyllic vision of how her children will turn out when it comes to the choices they will make and who they will become. Many think the hard years of mothering are when kids are young and require a lot of time and energy. However, mothering dreams rarely turn out the way one thinks they should and the energy required to stay engaged in your children’s lives doesn’t stop once they are able to dress and feed themselves. Sometimes the hardest part of mothering comes in watching your adult children choose very different paths than you would have chosen or dreamed for them. But just because your children choose differently than you had hoped doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them and be close to them.
Drug addictions are no longer something that only happens to people we don’t know or in low income areas. Chances are you know someone personally either in your family or friend circle who has or is suffering from a drug addiction. The LDS community is not immune from the grips of substance abuse. In situations where there is an addiction, much of the focus is placed on the addict themselves making sure they get the treatment and help they need. But there are others who also suffer not from the drugs themselves but in dealing with the effects the addicts choices have had on their lives.
So many of us feel at the affect of our circumstances, or the things that are out of our control. We tend to believe that the results we have in our life are because of those things that are outside of us. That can leave us feeling hopeless and powerless. But what if that wasn’t true? What if even though you don’t have control over things outside of you, you still had control over your results? Today I am here with coach Meg Tilton to talk about how the results in your life are always 100% in your control.
60% of women struggle with their mother-in-law. That’s a staggering statistic surrounding the feelings women have about the woman who raised their husband. Why is the relationship between mother and daughter-in-law such a strained one? Is there hope for having a good relationship in this area - or with any in-law for that matter? Today on the podcast coach Minda Pacheco shares a secret to having great in-law relationships and how following this secret has opened herself up to a world full of love.
Having a baby can be one of the most amazing experiences of a woman’s life but it can also be an emotional rollercoaster. “Baby blues” are normal within the first two weeks of giving birth, but for some those blues can turn into something more serious. Roughly 15% of women will suffer from postpartum depression after having a baby. This is a condition where a mother can find herself in a place of having a lack of desire to care for herself and her baby. The severity and frequency can vary pregnancy to pregnancy, but the need for support and help for the mom is always the same.
When Kolette Hall married her husband Jason, they believed that as his wife she should be in charge of all his care. But caring for anyone full time can be overwhelming and especially when it is your quadraplegic husband. When an accident five years into their marriage brought to light the burden of being Jason’s sole caregiver, things needed to change for their marriage to survive. Fortunately Kolette had her own advocates in Jason’s parents and they rallied around her to set up extra support and boundaries so that she could be Jason’s wife and learn to love him in that way as well as love herself again.
When our children make choices that go outside of the story we have told ourselves then it can be easy to try and fix our child, to make them conform to a set of rules we think they should be living their lives by. But when we decide to evolve as a parent we realize that our child doesn’t have to change at all and that the ability to have a great relationship with them is really within us. Come listen to coach Darrin Thomas as he relates his own experience with one of his daughters that showed him the importance of his parenthood evolution and how that made a huge difference in how he sees his daughter and her struggles.
