This is one of those times when, as a woman in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, you realize you are standing on the shoulders of other remarkable, dynamic, visionary, faith-filled women like the late Ardeth G. Kapp. In this very special episode of the Magnify podcast, Deseret Book President Laurel Day does more than reminisce about her friend and mentor. This is a one-of-a kind conversation with two iconic guests where you will come away wanting to magnify your own place in the world and walk through the doors of opportunity that open for you.

Did you enjoy General Conference? It was a weekend full of uplifting messages. There were so many things on our hearts going into this weekend. Our mission at Magnify is to be women who can be powerful forces for good in our communities and our homes, and we felt like there was no better way to do this than to have real, honest conversations today about what moved us from these messages.

Kathryn is out on Spring Break, so today's episode will be our producer Sarah joined by Kaylen Nelson, Shima Baughman, and Mindy Brown.

If we're honest, it's all too easy to forget to rely on God and His good grace. But this is exactly what we need to do if we are humble followers of Jesus Christ. In a his October 2023 General Conference address, Elder Joni L. Koch said humility is a "vital catalyst for spiritual growth" and a "mandatory requirement for us to be ready to return to the presence of God." Today we're exploring what humility looks like for women who strive to come unto Christ.

Joining Kathryn in this episode is Andrea Cabrera. Andrea works in marketing and has a background in broadcast journalism. She has her own podcast, and the Magnify team asked her to go out and bring back three examples of humility from her circles. This episode features the voices of three of those women.

At Magnify, our mission during this special week before Easter is to help us all feel a little holier by focusing on strengthening our relationship with Jesus Christ. As women, we can be powerful forces for good in witnessing the Savior in our every day lives. We can look to the example of the first witness who was a woman, Mary Magdalene.

Today's guest is Janiece Johnson. She is a research professor of religion and a production manager at Deseret Book. She has studied out the life of Mary Magdalene. Janiece wrote, "Understanding [Mary's] name begins to helps us see her power and her central role. She is a tower of strength--the Tower-ess or the Magnified one. Women [of the time] were not just on the margins, but central to the gospel and the ministry of Jesus. [Mary] becomes the first witness of the risen Lord and an example of power and strength to all of us who want to be disciples."

There are some things in life that you have to often take a step back to see a bigger and better view. A tree can have some broken branches or missing leaves, but when it's looked at as a whole, it's always a beautiful image. The Savior can do the same thing with our lives, and when we rely on Him, our branches can be healed.

Kathryn is joined by Shima Baughman. Shima is a BYU law professor, an author, and her background growing up in Iran plus her experience around the world can help us lean into today's message that the Savior's sealing power can not only help us be with family forever, but find peace.

It's common for women to want to be full of light and, like Elder Quentin L. Cook said, "striving to be full of good cheer." When we are around people like that, it's contagious and infectious. We wonder what that looks like and how to maintain it, so let's chat about it!

This episode features contributor Cristi Brazao. Cristi is an assistant professor at Daytona College in Florida where she teaches writing and research, English composition, and African American literature. She used to sing in the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square and her experience praising the Lord through song along with her convert backstory plays a role in our conversation today.

The last time you had to introduce yourself, what labels did you use? Did you talk about who you are, what you do, or what you love? All of these labels can be fun, and President Nelson even said that it can be a great way to describe ourselves, but they can also be divisive and restrictive. Today we are going to talk about the most important labels and how we can "label up"!

Eme Martin joins Kathryn on today's episode. Eme says she prefers hugs to handshakes, sweet over salt, and travel by sea! One of Eme's super powers is that she is great at making connections and friendships, and her experience will be perfect for this conversation!

We've heard it said to "expect the unexpected." But we can feel at times like our expectations aren't always met. Elder Sabin shared a unique message in October 2023 General Conference. He said, "when nothing is expected and everything is appreciated, life becomes magical." Doesn't that ring true to you? This episode is all about about how we can find that magic in our lives through trusting God.

Joining in this discussion is Maria Eckersley, who is known for capitalizing on the happy moments in life. She is the ultimate "mom hacker", mega party planner, and a devoted fun mom. She and Kathryn chat all things happiness in the gospel!

Happy Valentine's Week to the Magnify Community! This holiday is all about celebrating love, and in this week's episode we talk about the languages of gospel love that Elder Gong shared in his General Conference address, "Love is Spoken Here."

God's love notes are how we see little moments of the Savior's love manifested in our everyday moments. Kathryn is joined by Reyna Aburto, former member of the Relief Society General Presidency. Reyna's special talent is that she is an excellent friend-maker and because of this, she brought some personal experiences of seeing these gospel love languages in action.
