Hey mama!

In this radiant Shining Moments episode, I sit down with the joyful and inspiring Kelsey Stratton—NICU respiratory therapist, adventurous mom of four, and vibrant woman of faith. Together, we talk about what it means to discover beauty in your own unique motherhood path—especially when it looks different from what you expected.

Kelsey opens up about the surprising journey of parenting a neurodivergent child and how it's softened her, deepened her faith, and taught her the sacred power of calm, connection, and seeing the divine in every child.

This episode is a powerful reminder that motherhood isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. That our differences are divine. And that God designed each of us to be a unique hue in His eternal stained glass window.

Why being “fun” is more than a personality—it’s a gift 🌟

What it’s like parenting a child with both autism and ADHD

The sacred moment Kelsey calmed her son in the middle of a meltdown

How the Spirit guides us in parenting, especially when we feel lost

The beauty and power of being a safe space for our children

How every woman brings a light meant to be seen and shared

A message to moms who feel “too much” or “not enough”

And what makes Kelsey feel most beautiful 💖

“God doesn’t yell at us when we’re overwhelmed. He calmly says, ‘I got you.’”
“Your home is beautiful—and so are you. You were meant to be seen.”
“Our differences are our divine design. We weren’t meant to be alike.”
“Fun is holy too.” 🎉

In this episode, we explore four foundational identities that shape our purpose, potential, and progress: Child of God, Child of the Covenant, Disciple of Christ, and our Natural Man Self. Drawing from prophetic counsel—especially President Russell M. Nelson’s teachings—we dive deep into how these identities inform our relationship with God, ourselves, and others, and how they empower us to live with divine purpose and peace.

Hey mama, 

This week, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Amber Dawn Pearce—a woman whose life story is as powerful as her testimony. Raised off-grid by convert hippie parents who joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Amber grew up in a family of 15, with 8 adopted siblings and a home that had dirt floors and no electricity or plumbing. Her childhood was anything but ordinary—and so is her perspective on faith, resilience, and divine purpose.

✨ In this episode, Amber shares:

Her unique upbringing and what it taught her about love, connection, and seeing others through Christ’s eyes

How her testimony and love for the scriptures started small (just “checking the box”) but blossomed into a deep, personal study that fuels her life

The incredible shift she experienced after taking President Nelson’s plea to seek for and increase personal revelation—and how it’s accelerated her spiritual growth

Her journey through debilitating insomnia, migraines, and vertigo, and how opposition became the very thing that deepened her relationship with God

What it really means to fill the measure of your creation, and how we can trust God’s timing even when it doesn’t match our own

Amber also introduced us to a beautiful new word: compersion—the opposite of jealousy. Imagine celebrating others' joy as if it were your own. What if we all lived like that?

Hey mama, 

In this episode, I share my journey of striving to be the "best" disciple of Christ by overcomplicating spiritual practices—turning simple gospel principles into exhaustive checklists. I talk about how this perfectionist mindset led to overwhelming pressure, increased anxiety, and ultimately, a transactional view of faith, where I expected certain blessings in exchange for my diligent efforts.

Drawing from Elder D. Todd Christofferson’s analogy of a "cosmic vending machine" and lessons from the Pharisees in the New Testament, I explore how rigid rule-following can sometimes hinder our ability to truly know Christ. Instead of focusing on love, we may mistakenly believe that our worthiness depends on flawlessly checking off spiritual to-dos.

I also discuss the importance of shifting our focus to the greatest commandment: Love—loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others. By recognizing that Christ’s grace is the foundation of our discipleship, we can release unrealistic expectations, embrace our humanity, and find true peace in our relationship with Him.

If you've ever felt the weight of perfectionism in your faith journey, this episode is for you. Let’s step away from the pressure and lean into the love and grace Christ offers us.

Sending you lots of love, sweet mama!

Hey mama, 

In this episode, we dive deep into the power of the word "consecrate" and explore how it relates to loving ourselves in a divine, God-honoring way. We often hear about loving God and loving others, but what about “as thyself”? Have we unintentionally left out a crucial part of the great commandment?

I share how my study of the 1820s definition of consecrate—to set apart as sacred and dedicated to God—opened my eyes to the way we can view our efforts, our struggles, and even our everyday moments as holy and meaningful. What if loving ourselves isn’t selfish, but actually part of consecrating our lives to God?

We'll explore powerful truths like:
✨ The connection between our divine identity and our ability to love ourselves
✨ How small, everyday acts of motherhood are actually sacred offerings
✨ The difference between begrudging obligation vs. intentional consecration
✨ Why giving God our imperfect 1% is still enough

Through scripture, prophetic counsel, and real-life application, I’ll challenge you to see your daily efforts—even the laundry, carpool, and repeated pep talks to your kids—as an offering to God.

Listen in, and let’s redefine what it means to love ourselves in a way that honors who God created us to be.
