Trauma, Adversity, and Resilience

When our expectations of life do not line up with the reality of the hand we have been dealt, we suffer. A way to work through the suffering is to build resilience. Resilience is our ability to bounce back, and grow, despite our challenges. Listen to my conversation with Coach Leah Davidson to find out how we can increase our resilience. Takeaways: *Resiliency is not bouncing back to who you used to be but bouncing to a new version of yourself.  *Post-traumatic Growth is a process where you take your experiences and learn from them to move forward and make something better for yourself and your life. This type of growth takes time and patience with ourselves.

Involving God in Your Health Goals

For many of us, there is constant chatter in our minds about our bodies and how we think our bodies should look. We think if we trash talk ourselves enough, we can bully our bodies into fitting what we perceive to be the social ideal. Like any relationship, love is always the answer, except the relationship with yourself is the most important one. Coach Amber Williams joins us in this episode to talk about our bodies and how we can involve God to help us feel the love we want to feel for ourselves while working on our health goals.

Perfectionism in Parenting

Because we love our children so much, we often have big dreams and expectations for them.

Teen coach, Amy Koch, is here today as we continue our teen series. We will discuss ways that we can relax some of our parental perfectionism and just enjoy being the parent.

Wrestling With Your Teens Choices

In today's episode, I get to talk with coach Nicole Rasmussen about our interaction with our teenage children. From time to time, we'll get requests for a podcast episode topic. And this recording today is a result of one of those requests. So if you have requests for podcasts episode, jump on our Instagram, LDS life coaches, and just direct message me there. As parents, it is hard to sit back and watch our teens make decisions. We would love to jump in and make their choices for them, but that is not beneficial to them or us. It becomes our job to learn to manage our minds so that, when they make choices that are different than what we thought, or things just don’t go as you planned, we can still be the parent we want to be.
