Think New Thoughts

Sometimes parenting is just plain hard. During particularly difficult seasons, you might think "this is awful" or "I can't do this." In this week's episode, I'm sharing two simple, soul-centering thoughts that can renew your hope if you've been feeling tired or discouraged.

I can't take your challenges away but I'd be honored to help you get a fresh perspective about them. Schedule a free mini session with me if you're looking for a little more hope during a difficult time. :)

Does your teen's frustration, anxiety, or anger quickly become your frustration, anxiety, or anger? It's easy to absorb the emotional energy of the people we love without even realizing we're doing it. In this episode, you'll learn a simple mindset shift that can help you stop taking on your teen's emotions and start choosing your own response instead. If you've ever felt emotionally drained by your teenager's ups and downs, this episode will help you find more peace, steadiness, and connection.

If someone you love who is struggling with addiction, or crippling anxiety, or ongoing depression, I believe (passionately!) that one of the most powerful, life changing things you can do to help them is to explore and understand your OWN thoughts and feelings first.

Have you ever wanted something for yourself and immediately wondered, Am I being selfish?

Have you ever looked at your family, your teenager, or even yourself and wondered why life doesn't look the way you thought it would?

Sometimes it feels like everything has gone wrong.

Your teenager is making choices you never imagined. They're pulling away from their faith, struggling, or choosing a different path than the one you hoped for. As an LDS mom, it's easy to believe something has gone terribly wrong—not just for your teen, but for you.

But what if it hasn't?

In this episode, I share a simple but powerful perspective that has changed the way I experience life's hardest moments. You'll learn why the thought nothing has gone wrong isn't about denying pain or pretending everything is okay. It's about meeting painful circumstances with greater faith, peace, and compassion.

If your teenager's story isn't unfolding the way you hoped, this episode will help you trust that God isn't finished writing it yet.

Have you ever felt emotionally exhausted by parenting your teen?

Maybe you can't stop worrying about the choices they're making. Maybe every conversation feels heavy, or you find yourself wondering if you're failing as a mom. When you're carrying that kind of emotional weight, it's hard to find peace—or enjoy motherhood the way you want to.

In this episode, you'll learn one of the most life-changing coaching tools I know: how to separate the facts from the story you're telling yourself. As an LDS mom, this simple shift can help you lighten the emotional load, quiet anxious thoughts, and respond to your teenager with more peace, clarity, and intention instead of fear, frustration, or discouragement.

If you've been longing to worry less, feel better, and experience more peace as you parent your teen—even when life feels uncertain—this episode will show you how.

Have you ever looked around at everything on your plate and thought, I don't even know where to start?

As an LDS mom parenting teens, it's easy to feel like you're juggling a hundred responsibilities—your family, your calling, the house, and the endless mental load that comes with trying to keep it all together. When everything feels big and overwhelming, it's no wonder we sometimes shut down and put things off.

In this episode, you'll discover a simple mindset shift that can make even your biggest responsibilities feel smaller and more manageable. You'll learn why overwhelm—not laziness—is often what's keeping you stuck, and how the power of small and simple steps can help you move forward with more peace, confidence, and momentum.
