Have you ever noticed that kindergarteners can consume a lot of information and quickly grasp a new concept? One of the reasons is because teachers use a lot of different learning styles to teach them. Erin Ropelato, a retired kindergarten teacher. She teaches that we each have different ways of learning and when applied correctly the gospel topics we learn and consume will be ingrained in us.

This week on the Meaningful Minutes Podcast Erin has joined us to teach us each of those 8 styles and how she applies them to gospel study. She believes that when we use learning styles that speak to us we can use them to more fully ingrain gospel topics into our lives.

Recently on the podcast I have been talking about the natural man and how we all experience it. It can be deception, overwhelm, not measuring up to perceived standards, silent suffering, despair, irrationality, and abandonment from God etc.

So today I want to talk about how those emotions can trigger that natural man state and cause you to be blocked from the revelation you need to spiritually survive in this world. 

I also discuss the 4 tools I teach that will help you overcome those emotions and how to open the lines of communication between you and He who has all the comfort and guidance you need.

President Nelson has said, “Our Father knows that when we are surrounded by uncertainty and fear, what will help us the very most is to hear His Son.”

We are most definitely surrounded by uncertainty and fear these days so hearing Him becomes even more vital. However, Hearing Him can be difficult even if you are actively trying to increase that ability. Usually by doing more.

As a mental health therapist, I have noticed three different reasons why women struggle to hear Him in their lives. None of them mean we need to do more.

So listen in to Episode 69 of the Meaningful Minutes Podcast for those reasons and how to combat them.

I was invited to join Laura Cragun on her podcast, Latter Day Intuitive Eating. She believes women hold incredible power in their thoughts and knowing who they are on the inside will reflect who they are on the outside and the light they can shine.

Today I am sharing that episode with you. Laura asked me to share a little about myself and why I do what I do. We also discussed the natural man, feeling broken, and how connecting to the Godhead will help us overcome it all.

Women want to help their loved ones. So much so that they often feel overwhelmed, anxious, inadequate, drained, and fearful as they try to do that. They try to take it all on and fix everything for those they love. 

There is certainly nothing wrong with wanting to do that but we as humans cannot do it alone. It is not possible for us to fix everything for others but there is one thing that has helped me, especially as a therapist, to help others.

Today I am sharing that instrument with you and how you too can apply it as you strive to love and serve those around you.

Mathew 11:29-30 reads, “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light”

Jesus is offering us a yoke to help make our burdens easier and lighter.

You are carrying many loads in your life that are causing you to feel an extra burden mentally and physically. 

Jesus is offering you a yoke to help carry those burdens and the yoke He is offering you is designed to carry your burdens specifically. It is intended to help you get work done that you couldn’t possibly do on your own.

In this episode of the Meaningful Minutes Podcast I am sharing specific steps to help you yoke yourself to the Savior and keep pace with Him so as to accomplish all that you possibly can.

Making decisions in your life can often feel anxiety-provoking, confusing, or overwhelming. Even small ones can sometimes make you feel that way.

Making decisions is interesting because we aren’t always faced with a clear good option and bad option. Sometimes we are faced with all good options or all bad options then we can really be confused right?

This can cause you to feel fearful about making the wrong decision. I see this often with the women I work with.

Which makes sense, you don’t want to be out there purposefully making the wrong decision.

But there is a principle at play here that makes certainty not an option. 

That principle is faith.

I did it! I hiked the Grand Canyon. Rim to Rim in ONE day. I have shared in past episodes the spiritual lessons I was learning as I prepared myself physically for the hike and now I am sharing about the hike itself.

I am not an avid hiker so this was definitely out of my comfort zone and it was so worth it.

We left earlier than planned, the trail was different than what we had expected, and there was an excessive heat warning. Not everything went as planned but the adventure was fun, I learned a lot, and pushed myself to do something I had never done before.
