  • 105. Desperate or Desired? Which One Are You - and How It's Shaping Your Life

    Desperate or desired? The energy you bring to relationships shapes not only your love life but also your confidence, your choices, and even your faith. In this episode, we’ll explore the difference between desperate energy — chasing, settling, and taking scraps — and desired energy, where you stand in your worth as a daughter of God. I’ll share one of my own stories (yes, the one with the infamous ‘Mr. Good Kisser’), reveal why desperation repels the right kind of man, and walk you through my simple ‘Relationship Scan’ tool to help you start seeing exactly how you’re showing up in dating, friendships, and life. If you’re ready to stop settling and start attracting the kind of love God has for you, this is your episode.

      • 098. Making a Big Life Decision? Here's What You Need to Know First

        Feeling the weight of a big life decision? You’re not alone—and you’re not as stuck as you think. In this episode, we break down the two types of confusion you need to recognize before moving forward. One kind leads to clarity and growth. The other? Keeps you circling the roundabout of indecision. You’ll hear real-life examples (including a very vulnerable one from my own journey), reflective questions to help you get unstuck, and a powerful reminder that you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

      • 097. Want to Change Your Life? Start By Changing This One Thing

        Want to change your life? It doesn’t start with a new job, a new relationship, or even a big spiritual breakthrough. It starts with one small thing most of us overlook completely: our thoughts.

        In this episode, I’ll show you how the unnoticed thoughts you repeat every day are quietly shaping your emotions, your actions, and the results you get in life. I’ll share the thought that kept me stuck in a cycle of dating disappointment, and how my client Erin uncovered a painful belief that was limiting her confidence, relationships, and even her income.

        You’ll learn how to recognize your own sneaky “autopilot” thoughts and a simple trick to uncover the belief hiding behind your behavior. This is your path out of confusion and into clarity—because when you change your thoughts, you really can change your life.

        About The Single LDS Woman | Loneliness, Dating, Self-Confidence, Happiness

        From the publisher's feed

        Dating shouldn’t feel this hard.
        But for many single women, it does.
        And no one ever taught you how to date well.
