In this week’s episode of the Latter-Day Ladies Podcast, Alicia Wood dives deep into this question, is wanting more financially prideful?

You’re a devoted wife, mom, and disciple of Christ. You love the Lord, you want to serve, and you know your gifts are meant to bless others. But when it comes to making real money from your calling—you hesitate. You wonder if God really wants you to prosper.

Alicia shares her journey of discovering truth, partnering with the Lord in the process of creation, and learning how to align with what God truly desires for us.

Let’s talk about embracing abundance, serving with purpose, and stepping into the prosperity God has prepared for you.

In this episode of Latter-Day Ladies, Jennie Moss explores one of President Russell M. Nelson’s most empowering teachings—that we can have confidence in God’s presence right now! Not just someday in the distant future, but today, in the middle of our messy, beautiful, real lives.

Jennie breaks down how keeping our covenants, filling our hearts with charity, and guarding our thoughts with virtue can help us feel the Spirit more fully and trust God more deeply. You’ll leave this episode feeling uplifted, capable, and wrapped in the assurance that Heavenly Father hears you, sees you, and loves you more than you know.

If you’ve ever needed a boost of spiritual confidence—this one’s for you. 

Question to consider: How might your thoughts, relationships, and spiritual strength shift if you made charity and virtue your daily focus, as a way to deepen your connection with God?

“We focus so much on the problem in front of us… and not enough on the Savior who has overcome it all.” — Elder Alonso

This episode has been resting on my heart since I attended the Farmington, New Mexico Temple media day—a trip I almost didn’t take, but the Spirit whispered clearly: “Yes. Go.”

What unfolded was sacred and soul-deep. I share what I learned about covenant relationship, the beauty and meaning woven into the design of the temple, and the quiet whisper I heard in the celestial room:
“This is your home. You are Mine.”

I also reflect on something my son said while reading Lehi’s dream:
 “Maybe anything can be a mist of darkness… if it blocks you from the Tree.”
Even good things can cloud our focus if they pull us away from Christ.

If you're feeling scattered, discouraged, or unsure—this is an invitation to come back to the Tree. To focus not on the problem in front of you, but on the Savior who has already overcome it all.

Part Two with Marla Gale is here!  

This episode felt like sitting surrounded by the Spirit. We dive deeper into what it means to gather Israel—especially when the people we love have stepped away from the Church.

We discuss the tender truth that we gather best by drawing near to Christ ourselves, and doing His work with sincerity, authenticity, and an open heart.

Marla teaches how women are divinely designed to gather, how God uses our quiet faithfulness, and how sometimes the greatest act of trust is being willing to wait for the miracles He’s already working in our lives.

If you’ve ever felt unsure of how to show up for others or wondered if your quiet efforts matter—this conversation is for you. 💛

“If you want to do His work, you have to put Him first.” — Marla Gale

Friends, I had the sweetest time chatting with Marla Gale. She shared how designing jewelry became a sacred way to consecrate creativity—and start meaningful conversations about Jesus while gathering with other women in faith.

What moved me most was Marla’s deep belief that when we gather women to talk of Christ, it doesn’t just strengthen our own hearts—it quietly changes our homes, our families, and our communities in ways we may never fully see.

This conversation is a gentle reminder that gathering begins with turning our own hearts to Christ, and then walking with others as they do the same.

Part two of my conversation with Katie Loveless is here! 

She shares her journey of shifting from trying to impress God with perfection to truly seeking to feel Him. Perfectionism created distance, but showing up authentically brought her closer to Him.

We also explore this powerful question: Do you have faith that your Heavenly Father knows you so well that He places you in circumstances where you will emerge as a stronger, albeit wounded, healer—becoming a valuable instrument in His hands? 

This episode is full of faith, healing, and hope. Don’t miss it! 💛

As women, we are constantly told that our worth is tied to how we look, leaving us disconnected from the divine purpose of our bodies. But what if, instead of fighting against our bodies, we learned to partner with them? What if we saw them as sacred gifts rather than projects to perfect?

In this episode of Latter-Day Ladies, in an interview with Kerrie Nygard, we dive into the war on women—the relentless push to focus on external standards instead of eternal truths. We’ll explore how intentional use of agency can help us reclaim  wholeness.

In the second half of our Latter-Day Ladies interview, Emily Johns shares her journey through darkness and the power of praying for help in the name of Christ. 

She teaches the sacredness of grief, the righteousness of leaning into mourning, and the healing that comes from fully processing our pain. 

We explore 1 Peter 1:7—how faith, more precious than gold, is refined through trials and transforms into true knowledge. This is a conversation about trust, surrender, and finding Christ in our hardest moments.

Quotes Referenced:

President Russell M. Nelson: "The only way to take sorrow out of death is to take love out of life." ("Doors of Death" April 1992)

President Russell M. Nelson: “My dear brothers and sisters, I promise that as you prayerfully study the Book of Mormon every day, you will make better decisions—every day. I promise that as you ponder what you study, the windows of heaven will open, and you will receive answers to your own questions and direction for your own life. I promise that as you daily immerse yourself in the Book of Mormon, you can be immunized against the evils of the day, even the gripping plague of pornography and other mind-numbing addictions” (“The Book of Mormon: What Would Your Life Be Like without It?” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2017,

Elder Neal A. Maxwell “The submission of one's will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God's altar. The many other things we 'give' are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.”  (“Swallowed Up in the Will of the Father” October 1995)
