This was the conversation I (Karen) needed to have. In this conversation, I sit down with positive intelligence coach Lori Petersen to explore how women can reconnect with their divine worth even amid life's challenges. Lori shares her personal journey from perfectionism and the "three strikes you're out" mentality to learning that her worth comes from God's love, not from checking all the boxes. Through beautiful metaphors of sailboats and storms, Lori reveals how the Savior can be our anchor when the winds and waves of life threaten to overwhelm us.

5 Key Takeaways:

1. The Savior in Your Boat: When life feels out of control, remember that with the Savior in the boat with you, the winds and waves cannot sink you—and those very winds are what propel your sailboat forward in growth and progression.
2. The Power of Presence: Taking just 10-20 seconds to engage your five senses can shift your brain from fight-or-flight mode to a place of clarity, gratitude, and connection with God.
3. Gratitude as a Tool, Not a Burden: It's okay to feel difficult emotions first. Process your anger, discouragement, or despair—then gently move toward gratitude when you're ready. Sometimes we need to "sit there for a minute."
4. Check Your Heart's Condition: Throughout your day, notice whether your heart feels open and expanded or closed and hardened. This simple awareness can transform your interactions and your ability to feel God's love.
5. Music as Divine Communication: Pay attention to songs that come to your mind when you wake up or throughout the day—they may be messages from your Heavenly Father supporting and guiding you.
