When we come to earth we begin our journey of mortality by getting a body. Our body and spirit start to experience all the joys and pains of living life as a human being. All of us in one way or the other will experience situations that can be classified as trauma. The body's response to these situations is the way God designed it to be so that the body can protect us as needed. However, as you will hear coach Cami Birdo speak about today, trauma is never meant to stay in the body yet so many hold onto it and carry this unnecessary burden through their lives. Cami wants everyone to know that there are ways to release trauma and find the healing you deserve.

This is probably the youngest guest we will ever have here on podcast, but you will quickly come to see that she is wise beyond her years with a full dose of energy and enthusiasm. While upbeat and full of life Daisy is here to talk about her book on a heavy and often difficult event in a child’s life - divorce of parents. She, along with her mom, wrote a book to help kids navigate the divorce process. There are not many books out there for children, from another child, about how to navigate divorce, so this book is a great resource for children to know how to get through an event in their life that they did not choose to have to go through. If you know a child going through a divorce that could use a child’s perspective in understanding divorce, then you will want to order them this book.
When a parent has a child come to them, they often imagine what their life will look like and the person who the child will grow to be. In all the possibilities of the dreams of who they can be, no parent ever imagines their child growing up to be a drug addict. As a parent of a child who is a drug addict, Coach Susan Achziger wants parents to learn things she didn’t know when her child became an addict. First and foremost, it’s not your fault. You do not need to own their addiction. All of our children have free agency so they will make the choices they want to make. She points out a fundamental life principle that a parent's job is to love their kids. They will choose what they will, but you always get to choose love. Whether you are a parent of a drug addict or not, this is a great podcast on having hope and knowing that God knows your struggles and heartache.
Going through a divorce can be messy and filled with a lot of difficult and hard times, but there are blessings that women can expect as they come to rely on their Heavenly Parents through this time in their life. Coach Hyo North believes that our Heavenly Parents are there for us no matter what state of life we are in and all are worthy of redemption from any situation. Hyo feels women have so much power within themselves that they don’t realize and that our Heavenly Mother is a great example to every woman of not being a victim but a God. Our Heavenly Mother wants all of Her daughters to receive what She has just as much as our Heavenly Father does.
We often refer to the first and second great commandments to love God and love our neighbor but all too often forget what coach Heather Shuler calls the third commandment and that is to love ourselves. In today’s podcast Heather discusses the importance of loving ourselves and how when we tap into our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and have Them teach us our true worth and potential. Many think that loving ourselves is a prideful thing but as Heather so beautifully states on this podcast, “We need love of self in order to unlock the potential of the first and second commandments [to love God and others].” So how do we learn to love ourselves better? It comes down to one simple thing, how we talk to ourselves. So if you think your self-talk could use a refresh, then listen in today and learn some great principles to truly love yourself.

The emotional well-being of women is widely talked about, but the emotional well being of men still requires more champions for their cause so they can get the emotional help they deserve and need. There are so many men who work and try so hard to do all the right things and yet they still feel like they are failing and they are unhappy. They are checking all the boxes that they think will make them happy and yet happiness is still elusive. Coach Mimi Porter wants to help men who she titles the “good guys” see that happiness can be achieved but they need to know how to empower themselves in better ways. If you are a man or know a man that is a really “good guy” but is still struggling, please listen to this episode. Men can learn so many tools that will help them feel more like the “good guys” they really are.
For far too long in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints many have viewed repentance as a painful and shameful step one must go through in order to become right with God again. But as understanding and learning has taken place there are many who are starting to view repentance as more of a gift than a punishment. Coach Jill Pack discusses with Heather today how repentance is a gift because it allows us to have a new perspective on a situation, a relationship, and ourselves. It is a gift because it shows the love God has for His children and how He truly wants all of us to see things more as He does so we can have greater understanding when it comes to the trials and difficulties we face in life. This is a podcast of hope and joy, not of pain and shame.
