In this powerful and inspiring episode, life coach Karen Papin sits down with two remarkable women who have transformed their understanding of service, vulnerability, and divine worth through their experiences with spinal cord injuries. Jill McAuley, a quadriplegic injured in a car accident at 18, and Jamie Moore, who became paralyzed at age 5 from an accidental gunshot wound, share profound insights about how allowing others to serve us is actually a form of service itself.

Both women discuss their journeys from questioning their identity and worth after their accidents to discovering deeper truths about their divine nature. They explore the challenges of accepting help, overcoming the "burden" mindset, and finding purpose through vulnerability. Their friendship, which began as college roommates at BYU, demonstrates the beautiful connections that can form when we allow others into our struggles.

Key Takeaways:

• Allowing others to serve you is serving them - When we receive help, we give others the opportunity to experience the joy and blessings that come from service
• Divine identity is unchanging - Our worth isn't defined by our physical abilities or circumstances, but by our eternal identity as children of God
• It's okay to take your turn - Everyone will need help at some point in life; accepting assistance is part of the human experience
• Vulnerability creates connection - Being open about our needs allows for meaningful relationships and community building
• We rob others of blessings when we refuse help out of pride - Service is a two-way blessing that benefits both giver and receiver
• Trials can be both the worst and best things that happen to us - Like Adam and Eve's experience, our limitations can become pathways to God's greatest gifts
• Simple acts of service matter - Even small gestures like smiling or asking about someone's day can make a significant impact

Re-broadcast of The Dents in My Armor Podcast with Dr. Lee Burdge and Jenny Webb, featuring guest Karen Papin

In this episode, life coach Karen Papin shares her journey from being a child who struggled speak publicly to becoming a podcast host and coach who helps women of faith overcome fear and self-doubt. Karen opens up about her experience of being paralyzed by fear when asked to speak in church, and how that crushing moment became the catalyst for her growth and faith.

Through personal stories and scriptural insights, Karen reveals how she learned to reframe fear as an indicator rather than an obstacle, and how consistent spiritual preparation through prayer and scripture study became the foundation for conquering anxiety. She discusses the difference between fear and the "spirit of fear," and shares practical tools for turning fear into faith.

Key Takeaways:

• Fear is an indicator, not a problem - It signals you're about to step outside your comfort zone and grow
• Reframe your "what ifs" - Instead of focusing on what could go wrong, ask "What if it goes well? What if this is exactly what God wants me to do?"
• The difference between fear and the spirit of fear - God hasn't given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7)
• Divine identity anchors us - When we remember we are beloved children of God, our potential becomes limitless
• Keep your focus on the Savior - Like Peter walking on water, we can overcome fear when we focus on Christ rather than the storms around us

Scriptures Referenced:

• 2 Timothy 1:7 - "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind"
• Proverbs 3:5-6 - "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding"
• Philippians 4:13 - "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me"
• Matthew 14:24-33 - Jesus walking on water and Peter's faith
• Alma 32 - Planting seeds of faith

Remember: You are of worth. You have a purpose. The Lord loves you and believes in you, and only you can make the impact on this world that you are meant to make.

In this episode, Karen sits down with Susan Hart, a mom of four who shares her transformative journey from deriving her self-worth entirely from her children's successes to discovering her own divine identity and purpose. After nearly 20 years of living her life through her kids, Susan experienced a wake-up call when her son was rejected from his dream college. This moment led her to realize she had lost herself in motherhood and was placing unfair pressure on her children to validate her worth.

Susan opens up about her journey back to herself - how she reconnected with God, rediscovered her passions, started her own editing business, and became a coach to help other moms find their purpose beyond motherhood. Her story is a beautiful example of how we can be devoted mothers while still maintaining our individual identity and divine calling.

Key Takeaways:

• Recognize when you've lost yourself - Living vicariously through your children's achievements creates unhealthy pressure on them and robs you of your own identity
• Partner with God to rediscover your purpose - Prayer and seeking God's guidance helps you discover your unique calling beyond motherhood
• You can be both a devoted mom AND pursue your passions - Schedule time for yourself and rediscover what you used to love - it's not selfish, it's necessary
• Let your children learn through their own experiences - Allow kids to handle challenges and learn from mistakes while they're still in your home
• Take time to be still and listen - Find quiet moments to hear God's voice amidst the chaos of motherhood

Scripture Highlight:

Romans 8:16-18 - "The spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God, and if children then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ..."

In this solo episode, life coach, Karen Papin explores how our limiting beliefs about God can distance us from truly knowing Him and diminish our ability to let His light shine through us. Using the analogy of looking through a smudged window, Karen illustrates how we often focus on our imperfections rather than seeing God's beautiful love that's always present.

Key Takeaways:

• God's love doesn't need to be earned; He loves us unconditionally right now
• Hard times don't mean God is displeased with us or that we've done something wrong
• God blesses everyone, not just others; His atonement is for each of us individually
• Nothing is too small or too big for God to care about; He's in the details of our lives
• We can be honest and vulnerable with God in our weakness, doubts, and struggles
• Our weaknesses are given to help us be humble and turn to God for strength
• God understands our limitations and doesn't expect more than our best each day

In this episode of the Divine Worth Podcast, host Karen Papin engages in a powerful conversation with Kerrie Nygard (@kerrie.a.nygard), a certified life and nutrition coach, mother of six, and creator of the Freedom with Body and Food Program. After 25 years of dieting, Kerrie experienced a spiritual epiphany that led her to abandon dieting entirely and find lasting peace with food and her body. Together, they explore the concept of "Divine Body Partnership" and how faith-based women can create a deep connection with their bodies and end the cycle of food and body struggles.

• Diet mentality distorts and distracts us from our true worth and purpose
• Your worth is fixed and cannot be increased or decreased by how your body looks
• Healing comes from accepting your body as a gift from God rather than trying to "fix" it
• Nurturing a partnership with your body involves checking in, showing gratitude, and treating it with love

In this special Easter episode, life coach Karen Papin shares personal reflections on the significance of Easter and how it relates to our divine worth. Drawing from her experience finding peace in scripture after her younger brother Sam's passing, Karen explores how Christ's atonement, suffering, and resurrection demonstrate the immeasurable worth of each individual. The episode concludes with a guided Easter meditation that invites listeners to visualize themselves as witnesses to key moments in the Savior's final days.

• Christ's sacrifice demonstrates our inherent divine worth regardless of whether we accept it
• The empty tomb is proof that we are not meant to remain in brokenness
• Christ suffered not only for our sins but also for our pains, afflictions, and infirmities
• Because of Easter, we can trust that we are never alone and that our mistakes don't define us
• Christ sees beyond who we are now to who we are becoming

Questions to Ponder

• Where have I been doubting my worth?
• How does the atonement and resurrection of Christ speak to that doubt?
• What would it look like to live today like I truly believed I was worth it?
