  • 115. The First Step to Changing Your Life: Start Dreaming Again

    Are you feeling stuck, running on autopilot, or wondering if there’s more to your life than managing responsibilities and doing what’s expected of you?

    In today’s powerful episode, we kick off Step One of the Six Months from Now Movement — and it all starts with something you may have forgotten how to do:

    ✨ Dreaming again.

    Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why so many women lose touch with their desires
    • How cultural expectations (and fear of disappointment) quietly shut down your dreams
    • The difference between managing your life and creating it
    • Why your God-given desires are actually spiritual guidance
    • A simple, life-changing exercise to uncover what you really want
    • How dreaming strengthens your self-confidence and reconnects you to your divine identity
    • I’ll also share the personal story of how I lost my own ability to dream after marriage—how I slipped into “good wife” mode and stopped creating my life—and how Heavenly Father lovingly nudged me back into growth, possibility, and purpose. That nudge eventually led me to coaching, to launching this podcast, and ultimately… to you.

      If you’re ready to feel alive again… ready to stop settling… ready to step into the next version of yourself… this episode is your starting point.

      ✨ This is the first step to changing your life.  This is where your future begins.

    • 111. When Fear Takes Over: How to Find Peace (Even When You Don't Have Answers Yet)

      In this episode, I’m getting real about fear—the kind that shows up when something feels unfamiliar, uncertain, or out of your control.

      I’ll share a recent experience with my own body that sent my brain into worst-case scenarios and how easy it is to let fear take the lead. We’ll talk about why fear triggers fight, flee, or freeze, what it looks like to stop reacting and start responding, and how to partner with God while you’re still waiting on answers.

      I’ll walk you through a simple four-step framework to help you move through fear with clarity, compassion, and confidence—so you can keep writing your story with faith. 💛

    • 109. Is Your Past Keeping You Stuck? 3 Steps to Break Free

      Are you using old failures, heartbreaks, or missed opportunities as proof that your future can’t be different?

      Do you catch yourself saying things like, “I’ve tried before and it didn’t work… so why bother?” or “If I couldn’t make it happen then, I probably can’t now.”

      You’re not alone. So many single LDS women quietly let their past set the limits for what’s possible next — without realizing the only place the past even exists is in our thoughts.

      In this episode, we’ll talk about why your past does not get the final say, how to stop replaying the same painful story, and what it really means to become future-focused — full of hope, creativity, and possibility again.

    • 108. Do You Have an Unachieved Goal? 3 Strategies to Make It Your Reality

      Do you have a goal you keep wishing for…but it’s still just a wish?

      In this episode, I’m sharing something that’s been on my heart since President Russell M. Nelson’s passing last week — one of his powerful teachings: “You don’t wish for a blessing; you work for a blessing and you make it possible.”

      We’ll look at the story of Limhi’s people in the Book of Mormon, talk honestly about why we get stuck (hello, self-doubt 👋), and I’ll walk you through three practical strategies to move from wishing to working so your goal can finally become your reality.

      If you’re ready to stop wishing and start achieving your goals, this one’s for you. 💪✨

    • 107. 3 Choices You Can Make Today to Create a Future You Love

      Are you wandering through life, hoping things will eventually fall into place? Or are you choosing today in a way that sets your future self up for the life you really want?

      In this episode, I share a powerful lesson I learned while hiking 19 trails in 10 days. You’ll discover why the vision you hold for your future matters, and how the choices you make right now shape whether tomorrow feels full of possibility—or full of despair.

      I’ll also speak directly to the three entry points into singleness—never married, divorced, and widowed—and walk you through specific steps you can take today to create a brighter, love-ready future.

      If you’ve been wandering, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and practical tools to start moving forward with confidence.

    • 106. Your Happily-Ever-After Starts Today: Life Lessons from Disney Princesses - with Valerie Beus

      We all grew up on princess fairy tales — Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty — and without realizing it, those stories shaped how we thought life and love should look.

      Be beautiful. Be sweet. Endure hardship. And eventually, a handsome prince will show up out of nowhere, fall instantly in love, and “save” you.

      But what if… those same stories could actually teach us powerful gospel truths?

      In this episode, I’m joined by Valerie Beus, host of Family Movie Night for Latter-Day Saints, who helps families find gospel lessons in their favorite films. Together, we’re reimagining these princesses — not as helpless damsels waiting for a prince — but as women of strength, faith, and purpose.

      We talk about:

      💎 The gospel principles in Cinderella’s courage to step into opportunities
      💎 How Snow White’s kindness and community-building show quiet strength
      💎 Why Sleeping Beauty’s “long nap” might really be a season of preparation


      If you’ve ever felt “stuck in a tower” or like your life is on hold until something changes, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective — and maybe even a little hope, courage, and happily-ever-after of your own.
