Since the pandemic, we’ve been hearing a lot about trauma. It can feel confusing because for many of us, we were raised by parents who didn’t believe that they had the luxury of being able to deal with it.

If you made no decisions by yourself and simply did what someone else told you to do, would that fulfill God's plan for you? Would you learn what you were meant to learn? I think the answer is no. I think God wants us to exercise our agency and learn by experience. This means we must allow ourselves to FEEL, and be connected to our bodies.

Turning Pain to Joy
I've had some hard things happen in my life (as you know if you've listened to the podcast at all!), and I realized recently that my magic is turning it into joy-- or at least something more positive. In this episode, I encourage you to look for the miracle, the strength, the grace, the favors the Lord has done for you. I tell a story related to Helaman 5:12 about winds and hail storms and firm foundations. I also mention some fun new things coming to the podcast soon! Website Full Show Notes

If I may be so bold, I have some concepts to share with you that I think will be helpful in you being the good mom you want to be. Being a good mom comes from your experience of being a good mom.

Who Was There When You Got Hurt?
I'm inviting you to meander through my memories, because I believe when we tell our stories and listen deeply, we can change the world. In this episode, I share several times when I got physically hurt, and my memory of who was there and how they responded. I'm noticing that often, I was physically taken care of, but not emotionally soothed. If you want to hear more of my thoughts that aren't necessarily my stories, go HERE.

The Trap of Speaking Up
This week, I reflect on several instances when I spoke up and when I stayed quiet and the threads I learned.
