This week I’m stepping outside my comfort zone and sharing more about my background and life experience for new listeners and those less familiar with my story.
Join us as my friend, Karlie Guymon, takes the interviewer seat to ask me about growing up the only girl with SIX brothers, serving as a young missionary in Tampa, Florida, and pursuing masters and doctorate degrees as a young mother. I reflect on the one thing I would change looking back: I wish I had given myself more grace!
I also encourage listeners not to be afraid of hard things (which can be the source of the best life lessons), to use their gifts and talents to find greater meaning and purpose in life, and to support and lift other women, especially those who choose a different path in life than you.
Challenge: How can you lean in to better identify and develop your unique talents and gifts instead of hanging back or waiting for a “better time”? Consider that this may also include developing or strengthening your testimony of Jesus Christ and the restored gospel. What can you do to lean in and engage in the gospel?
