The Divine Worth Podcast

Do you ever feel like you're doing "all the things" — serving, working, mothering, showing up — yet still feel completely empty inside?

If your self worth and confidence are buried under exhaustion, resentment, and overwhelm, this episode is for you.

This week, Karen sits down with emotional wellness coach Kristen Smith, who shares her personal journey from burning out as a busy working mom of four to building the peaceful, connected life she always longed for. After 30 years of marriage, raising four daughters, juggling work-from-home life, church callings, and a husband who had drifted from their faith, Kristen found herself crying on the floor of her closet — convinced she needed to change everyone else. What she discovered instead set her on a completely different path.

Kristen opens up about the moment she felt God whisper, "You're praying for the wrong miracle," and how that nudge began a journey toward real self worth and confidence — not through fixing others, but through doing the inner work herself. She shares how gut health, mindset work, and emotional wellness tools all came together to help her find peace without losing her faith or herself.If you've been white-knuckling life and wondering why the gospel isn't "working," this conversation will give you clarity, hope, and a practical first step forward.

**5 Key Takeaways:**

1. Focus on what you want, not what you don't want. Your brain and body respond to where your attention goes. Reframing your thoughts — from "I don't want to fight with my husband" to "I want a loving, healthy relationship" — is one of the most powerful tools for building genuine self worth and confidence from the inside out.

2. You might be praying for the wrong miracle.

3. We all think differently

4. Your body is keeping score.

5. Awareness is always the first step.

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.

Are you exhausted — not from doing too much, but from carrying too much?

In this solo episode, Karen Papin opens up about a season when she was doing all the "right" things — reading the best books, taking action, striving toward her goals — and yet still felt hollow. The missing piece wasn't more effort. It was trust in God.

Karen explores what it really looks like to release the pressure of proving your worth and instead partner with God. True self worth and confidence aren't built by doing it all — they're discovered when we stop pushing through our lives and instead let the Lord lead. If you've been spinning plates, running on empty, and wondering why it still doesn't feel like enough, this episode is for you.

5 Key Takeaways:

1. Exhaustion often comes from striving, not busyness. The low-level pressure of needing to have it all together is what drains us — and it quietly erodes our self worth and confidence over time. True rest comes from releasing that pressure, not just crossing things off your list.

2. Striving to prove yourself can block God's help. Like Nephi, we often try our own approaches first — and that's not wrong. But real breakthroughs come when we shift from "I need to make this happen" to "Father, what's the next right step?" That's when self worth and confidence rooted in Him begin to grow.

3. Surrender is not passive — it's powerful. Handing your burdens over to God doesn't mean you stop caring or stop acting. It means you stop carrying the weight alone. Releasing outcomes to the Lord actually expands your capacity to move forward with clarity, love, and genuine confidence.

4. Presence is one of the greatest gifts you can give. Whether it's a bedtime moment with your child or a quiet prayer, being mentally and emotionally there matters more than any to-do list. When we let go of striving, we find we're finally where we're meant to be.

5. Trusting God changes your heart first — and then everything else. Karen's anxiety about her kids didn't disappear immediately, but when she surrendered it to the Lord, her heart shifted. From that place of love instead of fear, she became more present, more effective, and more connected — a beautiful example of how real self worth and confidence are fruits of faith, not performance.

Resources Mentioned:

• Matthew 11:28–30 — "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest…"
• The story of Nephi and the brass plates — 1 Nephi 3-4 in the Book of Mormon

What happens when everything you've built your identity around is taken away? For Carrie Yost — mom of seven, farmer's wife, and now an emerging songwriter — a sudden autoimmune illness stripped away her coaching, her community roles, her photography business, and her sense of self. But out of that darkness came something she never expected: a calling to write music that speaks directly to the soul. In this episode, Carrie shares how God showed up for her through the people around her, how she went from knowing almost nothing about music to producing deeply moving songs heard across the country, and how true self worth and confidence aren't built on what we do — but on who God knows we can become.

5 Key TakeawaysSelf worth and confidence aren't found in your accomplishments. When Carrie lost her health, her roles, and her sense of purpose, she discovered that her worth was never tied to what she could do. Real self worth and confidence are rooted in God's view of you — not the world's.

God shows up through other people. When Carrie couldn't feel the Spirit during her depression, Heavenly Father kept sending friends, neighbors, and strangers with meals, prayers, and encouragement. Those acts of service were His love made visible — a powerful reminder that we are never truly alone.

Weakness can be the perfect breeding ground for your purpose. Carrie's illness humbled her in every possible way — and that humility made space for God to redirect her life toward something she never would have chosen on her own. Sometimes what feels like loss is actually preparation.

Line upon line is enough. Carrie didn't need to know the whole plan. She just needed to take the next step — learn one chord, write one song, trust one person. God filled in the gaps as she showed up with willingness. Building true self worth and confidence often works the same way — one small act of courage at a time.

Standing up for what you believe takes courage — and it's worth it. Inspired by President Nelson's call for women to testify boldly, Carrie pushed past her fear of public criticism to share her faith online. As soon as she did, God amplified her message in ways she never could have orchestrated herself. Your voice and your story matter more than you know.

What does it really mean to know your self worth and walk in confidence as a child of God? In this uplifting and wide-ranging episode, Karen sits down with Dr. Trina Boice — university professor, author of 35 books, film critic, and mom of four — for a rich conversation about identity, divine worth, and the everyday practices that help us remember who we truly are. Trina shares personal stories of feeling God's love in profound moments, practical tools for raising your energy and silencing negative self-talk, and insights from her newest books that will deepen your understanding of Jesus Christ and His love for you. Whether you're struggling to feel your self worth or simply looking for a confidence boost, this episode is filled with wisdom, warmth, and encouragement for your journey.

5 Key Takeaways:

1. Your mirror doesn't tell the whole story. So much of our self worth and confidence gets tied to what we see in the mirror, but the mirror is just glass — it doesn't know your heart, your kindness, your divine nature, or the incredible things happening inside your body. True self worth comes from understanding who you are spiritually, not just physically.

2. Pause and replace negative self-talk. When you catch yourself speaking harshly to yourself, Trina's simple but powerful tool is to pause and replace that thought with: "I am a child of God and my worth does not change today." Building self worth and confidence doesn't require a huge life overhaul — just one replaced thought at a time.

3. Raise your energy to raise your confidence. Trina shares the concept of an "energy ladder" with despair at the bottom and gratitude at the top. Simple practices like listening to music, going outside, writing a list of things you love, or even playing nature sounds can shift your energy and help you show up with more confidence and clarity.

4. Your worth is unconditional — no exceptions. God's love and your divine worth are not dependent on your performance, your mistakes, or what others think of you. Doctrine & Covenants 18 reminds us that the worth of every soul is great. No number of mistakes can erase that. Anchoring your self worth and confidence in that eternal truth changes everything.

5. What you consume shapes how you see yourself. Doom scrolling, negative media, and constant comparison quietly erode self worth and confidence. Trina challenges listeners to be intentional about what they're feeding their minds and spirits each day — and to replace unhelpful habits with things that truly uplift and inspire.

What happens to your self-worth and confidence when life dismantles everything you thought you were? Amber Jackson is a widow and single mom to four children who has faced more identity upheaval than most — postpartum depression, two divorces, and the loss of her husband Tim to terminal brain cancer.

Through it all, she has returned to one unshakeable truth: she is a daughter of God, chosen and seen.

In this episode, Amber shares how curiosity before God, honest prayer, and letting go of even the good labels became the foundation of her self-worth and confidence. She opens up about raising three kids with autism, redefining what success as a mother looks like, and why showing up authentically is the key to attracting the right people into your life.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS1. Curiosity is the beginning of true self-worth and confidence. Bringing honest questions to God — "Who do you want me to become?" — is one of the most powerful first steps toward discovering your divine worth.2. Even the "good" labels can hold you back. Letting go of all identities opens us up to become exactly who our Heavenly Father created us to be.3. Redefine success on God's terms, not the world's. True self-worth and confidence come from showing up faithfully in the life God actually gave you — not from meeting the world's expectations.4. Your authentic self attracts the right people. The more Amber showed up as who God designed her to be, the deeper and more sacred her friendships became.5. Give yourself the same grace you give your children. Caring for your own basic needs is not indulgence — it is stewardship of the divine worth God placed within you.

Do you ever hold back from asking for help because you don't want to burden others?

In this episode, Karen shares a coaching conversation and a personal story about her brother Sam that will change how you view asking for help. Discover why the belief "I don't want to be a burden" may actually be keeping you from experiencing love, building deeper relationships, and developing true self worth and confidence. Learn how accepting help isn't a weakness—it's an act of strength that allows others to show their love while strengthening your own sense of self worth and confidence.

5 Key Takeaways:

1. Accepting help strengthens relationships and builds self worth and confidence - When you refuse help, you unknowingly distance yourself from those who love you and prevent them from showing their care, which can diminish your sense of worthiness.

2. The "I don't want to be a burden" mindset often stems from love, but creates isolation - While this belief feels selfless, it can lead to emotional distance, burnout, resentment, and prevent you from developing healthy self worth and confidence.

3. Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness - Humbly accepting that you're struggling and reaching out for support demonstrates true self worth and confidence, not putting up a false front of perfection.

4. God wants to hear from you, always - He welcomes your tears, fears, questions, and needs. Reaching out to Him in prayer strengthens your relationship with Him and reinforces your divine self worth and confidence.

5. Allowing yourself to be seen allows you to feel loved - When you open up to trusted people about what you're going through, you create space for genuine connection and experience the love that builds lasting self worth and confidence.

In this episode, Karen sits down with Sharla Goettl, author of Covenant Power: Transforming Fear into Faith Through Jesus Christ, to explore how temple covenants can transform our self-worth and confidence. Sharla shares her personal journey of writing this powerful book, including a profound experience during an Elder Bednar training where she learned that anxiety was pride in disguise—a fear that was blocking her from recognizing her divine worth and capability.

Discover how understanding your covenants can address common human fears like betrayal, not being good enough, and not being loved. Through beautiful examples from scripture characters like Nephi, Mormon, and Peter, Sharla reveals how each covenant principle provides solid guarantees that build our self-worth and confidence. She explains that covenants aren't restrictions—they're the very tools God uses to accomplish His work, and as we understand them better, they empower us to become more capable and confident in who we truly are.

This conversation will help you see your covenants as a ladder to becoming your true self and recognizing your immeasurable value in Heavenly Father's eyes.

5 Key Takeaways:

1. God is a Wonderful Coordinator - When we act on spiritual promptings and keep our covenants, God coordinates events in ways we cannot foresee to help us receive what we truly want most, building our confidence in His plan for us.
2. Covenants Address Human Fears - Each temple covenant addresses a specific human fear and provides a guarantee that strengthens our self-worth: obedience addresses fear of losing control, the law of the gospel addresses fear of not being loved, and chastity addresses fear of not being capable.
3. Covenants Are Tools, Not Restrictions - Our covenants are the same principles Heavenly Father used to accomplish His work. They aren't obstacles to overcome but rather empowering tools that increase our capability and confidence.
4. Your Value is Immeasurable - The fact that God's work and glory is to bring about our eternal life means our value is equal to the price Christ paid—His life. Understanding this transforms our self-worth and confidence.
5. Prophets Introduce Us to Our True Selves - Through prophets and our covenant relationship with God, we're introduced layer by layer to who we really are, discovering our divine worth and true identity as children of heavenly parents.

As Sharla beautifully shared, your covenants are your ladder to becoming who you're meant to be. When you understand the power available through your covenants, your self-worth and confidence will flourish in ways you never imagined possible.

In this episode, Karen sits down with life coach Heather Rackham to explore the profound connection between understanding our divine identity and building unshakeable self worth and confidence. Heather shares her personal journey of discovering God's love through losing her younger brother at age eight, raising her own children, and navigating a faith transition that required her to fundamentally reimagine her relationship with Heavenly Parents.

Through vulnerable storytelling, Heather reveals how she transformed from viewing God as austere and demanding to understanding Him as a loving parent who is here to prove us to ourselves—not the other way around. This shift revolutionized her self worth and confidence, enabling her to step into uncomfortable spaces, build a thriving coaching business, and help others on their own faith journeys.

Listeners will discover how the beliefs we hold about ourselves—like Heather's deep-seated feeling that she "doesn't belong"—can silently sabotage our ability to live in our fullness. But more importantly, they'll learn practical tools for recognizing these limiting beliefs and developing the self worth and confidence to challenge them with loving curiosity rather than shame.

5 Key Takeaways

• We're here so God can prove us to ourselves, not to prove ourselves to God. This reframing shifts us from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance, building genuine self worth and confidence as we recognize that God already knows our capabilities and is helping us discover them.
• Trust is three-dimensional: "I trust them, they trust me, I trust me." Heather's powerful mantra reveals that true self worth and confidence require not just trusting God, but also trusting ourselves—a dimension many of us neglect in our spiritual practice.
• Repentance is chiseling away everything that isn't authentically you. Like Michelangelo revealing David from marble, the process of gaining new perspectives helps us remove the false beliefs and layers that hide our divine nature, strengthening our self worth and confidence in who we truly are.
• Our emotions aren't mutually exclusive—we can hold multiple feelings simultaneously. Even in grief, we can experience peace and joy. This understanding helps us navigate life's challenges while maintaining self worth and confidence through difficult seasons.
• Living in your fullness helps others live in theirs. When we embrace our divine worth and develop genuine self worth and confidence, we give others permission to do the same. Your personal growth isn't selfish—it's actually the most effective way to serve those around you.

In this episode, guest Bob Smith shares his journey from checking all the boxes of LDS life while feeling empty inside, to discovering true connection with himself, his relationships, and God. Bob opens up about growing up in a chaotic home that left him feeling small and powerless, and how years of marriage revealed that what was missing wasn't more doing—it was his authentic presence. He introduces his "Become the Captain" method, which combines vision, tools, and emotional healing to help LDS men step into their divine power and create genuine intimacy in their marriages. Bob's story reminds us that the longest journey we make is the 13 inches from our head to our heart, and that healing and transformation are absolutely available to each of us.

5 Key Takeaways

1. Doing More Isn't the Answer - You can read scriptures, attend church, serve in callings, and check all the boxes, but if you're not present and connected to yourself, you'll still feel empty. What matters most is bringing your authentic self to your relationships.

2. Complete the Emotional Circuit - True healing requires experiencing both the difficult emotions AND the resolution emotions. We can't just jump to positive thinking—we must allow ourselves to fully process negative emotions and then experience the completion (comfort, pride, nurturing) to truly move forward.

3. Alignments Create Assignments - Who you surround yourself with is more important than what you do. Finding the right coach, mentor, or community aligned with where you want to go will naturally lead to the right actions and faster progress.

4. All Problems Are Emotional Problems - The only reason we avoid doing something is because of how we believe it will make us feel. Recognizing this helps us understand that emotional healing is the key to moving forward in any area of life.

5. Shaking Reveals What Remains - Like Hebrews 12:26-27 teaches, God shakes us to remove what isn't truly us, so that our authentic, powerful self can emerge. Marriage and challenges are opportunities for this refining process to reveal who we've always been underneath.

Join host, Karen Papin for a conversation with guest, Bekah Sorensen, an LDS singer and songwriter who shares original music and reimagined hymns to testify of the Savior's love. In this episode, Bekah opens up about her journey with music, including the physical challenges that have affected her voice, and how these limitations have deepened her understanding of divine worth. She shares insights about offering our "breadcrumbs and fish heads" to the Lord, trusting Him to magnify our imperfect offerings, and discovering that our worth isn't tied to our talents or abilities—but to whose we are. This conversation will remind you that you are enough, simply because you are His.

5 Key Takeaways

1. Your Best is Enough - God doesn't always ask for what we think is our "perfect" best. Like the loaves and fishes, He can work miracles with our "breadcrumbs and fish heads"—whatever we can offer Him in the moment, even when it feels inadequate.

2. Choose to Believe - In moments of faith struggle or doubt, we can choose what we believe and choose to remember what we've felt and experienced with the Spirit. Our questions are welcome, but we can anchor ourselves in truth while we seek answers.

3. Identity Beyond Talents - Our worth isn't tied to our abilities, accomplishments, or even our God-given talents. Our divine worth comes solely from being His—being children of Heavenly Father. That identity is constant, even when everything else changes.

4. Less Can Be More - Sometimes removing the "excess" in our offerings—whether in music, service, or other areas—leaves room for the Spirit to do His work. Simplicity can create space for divine connection.

5. Keep Asking - Don't just ask Heavenly Father once what He thinks of you—keep asking until you feel and understand His love. Write down those experiences, because we tend to forget during difficult trials. He is anxious to tell you how much He loves you.
