Slides to my Presentation: Embodiment and the Divine Mother in the Word of Wisdom https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1AijsKWrLo5InoycteHFDXublulv76UlB5LXupHHObrQ/edit?usp=sharing

In this heartfelt episode of Eat Meat Sparingly: A Word of Wisdom Podcast, Ali Essig opens up about the phone call that changed her family’s life forever — the day her 37-year-old husband suffered a stroke.

As a mother of six, Ali shares what it was like to face uncertainty, fear, and grief — and how that experience became the turning point that transformed not just her husband’s health, but her family’s entire understanding of the Word of Wisdom.

Through prayer and study, Ali discovered deeper layers within this divine principle — lessons that go far beyond avoiding alcohol and coffee. She uncovers the often-overlooked scripture on eating meat sparingly and explores how it connects to both physical healing and Heavenly Mother.

You’ll hear how her husband’s recovery became a living miracle after adopting a plant-focused diet — and how Ali came to see the Word of Wisdom as an invitation to a higher law of nourishment, compassion, and connection with the Divine Feminine.
