In this BONUS EPISODE, Brianna shares her experience of taking the Removing Roadblocks to Revelation Group Coaching Program.

Brianna is a creative woman who lives in Arizona with her husband, enjoys all things church, and is the mom of 4 autistic children.  As you can imagine she is busy woman! She has lived in chaos for many years and really struggled to know if she was feeling the spirit. Her depression and anxiety enhanced those doubts so she went searching for a relationship with the Savior. 

She found the group coaching program and as she implemented the Mind Body Bridging skills she learned how to keep herself calm even in the midst of difficult times for her children. She learned how to be a divine receiver no matter the situation.

This week’s topic is an often taboo subject in the church and around the world. But it is one that is near and dear to my heart. About 6 years ago, I had my first loss to suicide that was close to me. My coworker died by suicide and it was a devastating situation all around. Since that time, due to the location of where I work, suicide intervention has become a daily part of my work. 

I have taken on work in my community to decrease the loss to suicide by becoming an intervention trainer where I teach classes to others on how to help and intervene. I also run our counties suicide prevention coalition. I am passionate about this subject and couldn’t miss the opportunity to bring awareness to the subject this month as I am addressing mental health through the lens of the gospel. 

If you or someone you love needs help right away, use the national mental health crisis line by dialing 988 on your phone to be connected to a trained therapist in your area 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Most people have experienced trauma and it impacts their daily life. The symptoms can be hard to manage and healing can feel impossible. It is overwhelming to really face trauma and pass through the journey of healing.

As a therapist, I see this every day.

So this week on the podcast I am discussing the symptoms of trauma, PTSD, and how the Savior is the key to healing all of it.

In my therapy practice and in my coaching business, I use a modality called mind body bridging. One of the things I love about teaching the skills from this modality is how seamlessly it translates into gospel terms. So today I want to show you how I use the terms in this modality to explain symptoms of depression and anxiety and look at them through the lens of the gospel.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND AS YOU LISTEN: As we dive into specific diagnosis and talking about them, this is not considered therapy and is just informational. If you feel like you need help and support with anything I talk about in these episodes please reach out and get the support and help you need.

May is Mental Health Awareness month so I am taking different aspects of mental health and looking at them through a spiritual lens. On this episode we are discussing ADHD and I have welcomed Kamden Hainsworth. 

Kamden is a mom of 4, an elementary school teacher by trade, and now is an ADHD coach. With her own diagnosis and understanding how her brain works she learned how to give herself compassion, set herself up for more success, and take back her agency and have choice in her daily life. She now helps others do the same and today she is sharing how the gospel applies to it all.

May is mental health awareness month and it is always near and dear to my heart since I am a therapist. More than anything, I want to break down the stigma of mental health diagnosis and taking medication for a mental health diagnosis.

Also, my passion for my coaching business has morphed into a beautiful place of talking about mental health through a spiritual lens. Because I do that I get a lot of questions about how those two things work hand in hand.

So today on the Meaningful Minutes Podcast I am diving into 5 of my most frequently asked questions. Join me as I share those answers with you and how you too can look at mental health through a spiritual lens.

You can take my word for it OR… You can hear real stories from real women!

Truth is, I completely believe in what I do! I wouldn’t teach these techniques if I didn’t do them myself. These meditations have had a huge impact on my life and I want the same for other women. So I asked a few women to try out my revelation meditations for themselves.

Today on the Meaningful Minutes Podcast I invited them to come and share their experiences after they had all completed my Clarity in the Chaos Course. These incredible women are here to tell you about the transformations that happened in their lives. 

PLUS! Stay tuned until the end for a quick sample of a revelation mediation you can try for yourself.

Ever since President Nelson urged members to “stretch beyond your current spiritual ability to receive personal revelation” I have felt a desire to do just that.

At first I wasn’t sure how I could stretch any further as I was already consistent with my prayers and scripture study. But I knew I was missing something and wanted to go beyond my “spiritual ability to receive revelation.” 

So I started trying new things. I went on a journey to to change the way I asked, the way I thanked, and the way I received.

This experience brought about not only changes in my life, but I learned how to help others learn to stretch as receive personal revelation for their lives.

Let me share with you how it all works and how to do this for yourself.

Revelation Meditations are not your typical meditations that relax you to fall asleep, or clear your mind of thoughts. Truth is, I can debunk that idea!

When it comes to personal revelation you don't want to clear your mind of thoughts, you want to have CLARITY in your THOUGHTS!  Finding that clarity will help you be able to find connection, knowledge, and understanding of what it is that God is saying to you.

Does that sound great to you? Then listen in because the idea that your mind needs to be cleared is just one of the revelation meditation myths that I am debunking today on the Meaningful Minutes Podcast.
