On this week's book review episode I chose to share:

The Shape of Mercy by Susan Meissner, a compelling tale combining the Salem witch trials and present day, and the second and third books of the Murphy Shepherd trilogy. These include The Letter Keeper and The Record Keeper, both by Charles Martin.

This one is a "Don't miss this!" episode. Jennette Booth is a talented musician, song-writer, music teacher, and mama of 9. Her family faced an unfathomable trial when one of her children was sexually abused. There are no details of any kind around the abuse in this episode, but what you will find are practical tips for how to increase your child's safety, humor, hope, resources for those facing the same type of crisis and ideas for how we as community members can better love on those around us who are walking through painful, life-altering experiences.

About Jennette:

Born in Utah, I grew up in Springville, Red Devil class of '95. When I was 4 years old, my parents were gifted two broken piano.which my dad combined to make one working piano. This ignited my love of music, led to my learning several other instruments and earning a degree in vocal performance from Utah State University. I am now a composer, performer, and music teacher. I've won awards in both community and LDS music competitions. After my family was impacted by child sexual abuse, I founded the nonprofit "Body Safety Songs" to help spare other families what mine went through. I served as Mrs Rocky Mountain during 2023, and placed 3rd in the Mrs Utah Pageant in an effort a to share the platform of "Lift Your Voice to Lower The Risk." I live with and love to sing with, my husband of 22 years and our nine children in Taylorsville, Utah.

I am convinced that the universe brings to us the lessons we need, at the times we need them BUT that we aren't always ready to receive them. This week I am working to get on track with the lessons being placed in front of me, to lean into Courage, Compassion, and Connection, as Brené Brown teaches, with a big reminder as to what it means to have healthy boundaries and why they are essential for healthy connections.

I love learning from women who have taken their darkest trials and turned them into healing not only for themselves, but for others. Find out how Rebecca Spotten learned how to reach out for support after her divorce, and how that reaching out turned into the creation of beautiful circles of women--healing in community--over multiple states.

This week I'm reflecting on part of my conversation with deJoly LaBrier from episode 6. Learn why I thought I first went to therapy, how that reflected incorrect thinking, and what steps I had to take to be able to even start to find some healing. You'll also see why learning to hold space for myself has enabled me to be better at holding space for others, and what you can do to start practicing this.

If you missed the full conversation with deJoly, go back to episode 6. I learned so much from her and would love for you to also benefit from her joy and wisdom.
