The 8 Cow Life

In January 2019, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints made a shift to focus gospel study a bit more on the home. The traditional three hour block of church was dropped down to two hours and a curriculum for families to study together at home was given to all church members.

While still in it's infancy, Joel and Meg weigh in on their experiences so far with the new church schedule and curriculum.

Enjoy!

We all like to be in a place where we feel like things are sailing along and it's easy and fun. But in life those moments are often fleeting and they take a great amount of energy to get to. That energy needed can be intimidating and keep you from even getting started.

This week on the podcast I talk about some practical tips to help you get started in going after your passion and making your dreams a reality. I hope you enjoy it.

Here is the link to the article I reference:

I had a totally different podcast planned for today, and while this podcast is meant to teach and inspire you, I hope that my being real and in the moment will always inspire you more.

Our dear sweet dog Griffen passed away yesterday unexpectedly and tragically. I won't go into all the details, but it has definitely thrown a curveball into our lives. Today I pay tribute to him and speak from the heart on what this lesson is teaching me. I know there will be more lessons to come.

Thanks for listening and being supportive and understanding. I love you all.

We talk a lot about how to get started doing something, but we often don't talk about the benefits that come once we do start and gain some momentum towards our goal. We certainly don't address the affects it has on our brains.

Today on the podcast I talk about the blessings of momentum and the amazing things it produces for you as you grow and develop and become the best version of yourself.

Enjoy!

Have you ever met someone who exudes happiness and light? Charity Lighten lives up to her name in every way. She radiates, gratitude, happiness, and a love of life that is contagious. I could not have picked a better interview to kick off the new year had I tried.

Come have a listen as Charity shares with you gems of wisdom from how to live a happier life, the power of a loaf of bread, how to be successful in living a healthier lifestyle, and one of Satan's great lies against women in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I hope this interview uplifts you and let's you know that you do matter and that you have a divine purpose and mission on this earth and that God wants you to succeed.

Love to you all!

Joel expounds upon insights learned from those of other faiths in regards to the nature of Christ and who He was. He dives deep into the Gospel of John and reflects on the teachings given in that book and the implications it has into our lives and relationship with the Savior.

Today I turn the interview table around and have Dr. Tilton interview me for this special podcast episode. It's totally unedited so I hope you enjoy it. I didn't even know the questions ahead of time. I hope you all had an amazing 2018 and that 2019 is your best year yet!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with many family and friends surrounding you. You are loved and YOU are the reason Christ came to earth. You are worth everything He hopes for you. May you believe in Him and in you. I love you.

You live in a society today where you are bombarded by things that if you consume or participate in, promise to make you feel happy all of the time. As a society we have grown to think that negative and uncomfortable emotions are not the way life's supposed to be lived. But it’s all false advertising. No food, pill, or thing you can buy will ever be able to relieve you from negative emotion long term. They are all quick fixes of relief and in actuality only create more problems down the road.

Today I want to talk about a bit more sly hit of dopamine we like to give ourselves and that is “buffering with learning”. We have been taught that knowledge is power. That is only partially true. Knowledge is power only when you put it into action and even when you do that, there is still going to be negative emotion with whatever you are doing. But it’s easy to get caught in the trap of your brain telling you that the reason you can’t go forward is because you don’t have enough knowledge and that lack of knowledge is what will cause you uncomfortable emotions.

Come listen to two examples I talk of today about two women who are on opposite sides of the knowledge spectrum and their outcomes. You will be surprised by what you hear.

Enjoy!

We are quickly approaching a new year and with a new year comes resolve to do better than the last year. Statistically most of us won't accomplish the goals we set at the beginning of 2019. Why is that?

On today's podcast I talk about the only thing you need to succeed at any goal you set - be it in the New Year or at anytime. The great news is that it's nothing you have to buy, it doesn't have anything to do with your talent, and it certainly doesn't have anything to do with how many people like you. It all comes down to one thing, and you are the master of that thing.
