Guess who's hitching a ride? When eagles get harassed by crows, they can fly as high as 10,000ft to rid themselves of the unwanted passengers, as crows normally fly at 1500 ft and can't tolerate the extra altitude. Do you carry distractions, unresolved emotions, self doubt? Get rid of those unwanted feelings by facing upward, looking toward God and working to get closer to Him. As you soar higher, your burdens will eventually off and you will be free from all those things that limited you so you can fly as you were meant to fly! #ldscoaches #latterdaylifecoach #ldscoachingforwomen #ldscoaching #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #nbchwc #distractions #selfdoubt

Have you ever had situations where you just happened to meet the right person at the right time in the right place? Or someone said just the right thing to help you remember something important? Our Heavenly Father blesses us with these tender mercies, or little miracles, to remind us of His love and awareness of us, as His children. As we seek to know Him better through keeping His commandments and sharing kindness, we can see His hand more clearly in our lives, giving us opportunities and guiding us to reach the potential He knows we have within us individually. How have you seen His hand in your life recently? How do you know He loves and is aware of you? #ldscoaches #latterdaylifecoach #ldscoachingforwomen #ldscoaching #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #tendermercies #miracles #miracleshappen #choosetheright #UlissesSoaresquote
Yes, vulnerability, or openness and acceptance about the feelings we or others have, can be tremendously challenging and scary. Possible rejection of a gift can be excruciating and painful! BUT.... if done in the right frame of mind, it is so freeing. The truth really does set you free! What small truth about yourself or someone you know can you be open to accepting today? #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #vulnerability #courage #emotionalintimacy
Have you felt reluctant to be authentic because you felt you have an image to uphold? Have you ever felt distance from others or misunderstood because you could not be open about your feelings? Do you ever feel you do not understand your own feelings? Being vulnerable about your true thoughts and your true self, can be frightening, but with possible risks come greater rewards! Opening ourselves up to others, and ourselves, helps us better understand and communicate our own feelings, helps build deeper relationships with others, and increases trust with others. It is challenging, but oh so freeing! How has vulnerability helped you in the past? How can increased vulnerability help one of your relationships? #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #vulnerability #courage #emotionalintimacy
What activities are you passionate about? What activities, when you’re performing them, stop time, keep your brain fully engaged, and decrease your stress? My kids each have discovered their own very specific interests, but for busy working parents or those who work long hours, time and energy for leisure can seem daunting. Have you forgotten what gives you joy? What small change could you implement today to make room for your passion? How would returning to a favorite pastime support you today? #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #hobbies #pastimes #decreasestress

Today, during the Tempe AZ West Stake Conference (gathering of several local congregations for Sunday worship), I had the honor of accompanying (on cello) a youth choir who sang this song so beautifully. So grateful for talents we can utilize together to worship our Savior, Jesus Christ. He lives! #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #discipleofchrist #songsofpraise https://youtu.be/b9qgN6DYpWo?si=uH3Ir7wRx-MRAshn
When I have had painful interactions with others, when my heart has been thrashed, it is very natural to want to retaliate. It is very natural to want others to feel the same disappointment and heartache. But is it the right response? When I am bitter or vengeful, it's in direct violation of who I want to be, of my values as a disciple of Jesus Christ, and a person who seeks to be compassionate and have inner peace. What to do? Take deep breathes, meditate, do what is needed to let go of the angry feelings..... To find mercy. It is not our responsibility to be judge and juror, consequences will follow those who intentionally do harm. Remember to seek to live by your values in all that you do. Act, not react.

After putting this on the World Wide Web, I noticed this editing error. Ooops. What possible thoughts go through your minds when you make a very visible error? I can’t believe I did that. I am so stupid…. What an idiot….. Everyone thinks….. Do such thoughts create inspiration to move forward toward goals and expand your skills? No. They limit our learning, create fear, and halt our progress toward what we want to accomplish. Instead, what if i thought this.... I will pay more attention next time, it's not the end of the world. I will learn from this. If people don’t like me, they can go elsewhere. I don't need their approval. These are statements of self kindness, which refers to being understanding of oneself. Studies have shown that those who exhibit strong self compassion skills, of which self kindness is an attribute, are more optimistic, happy, curious, and connected; in other words, more at peace.

From Steven Covey's The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People I was riding a subway on Sunday morning in New York. People were sitting quietly, reading papers, or resting with eyes closed. It was a peaceful scene. Then a man and his children entered the subway car. The man sat next to me and closed his eyes, apparently oblivious to his children, who were yelling, throwing things, even grabbing people’s papers. I couldn’t believe he could be so insensitive. Eventually, with what I felt was unusual patience, I turned and said, “Sir, your children are disturbing people. I wonder if you couldn’t control them a little more?” The man lifted his gaze as if he saw the situation for the first time. “Oh, you’re right,” he said softly, “I guess I should do something about it. We just came from the hospital where their mother died about an hour ago. I don’t know what to think, and I guess they don’t know how to handle it either.” Suddenly, I saw things differently. And because I saw differently, I felt differently. I behaved differently. My irritation vanished. I didn’t have to worry about controlling my attitude or my behavior. My heart filled with compassion. “Your wife just died? Oh, I’m so sorry. Can you tell me about it? What can I do to help?” Everything changed in an instant. How has a clearer perception changed your view of someone's behavior? #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #empathy #perception
Over the next few days, I will be sharing some of the foundational thoughts that go through my mind when dealing with others’ “crazy in my mind” choices. There’s a lot of variables to these I am sure, but these really help me when trying to process other’s behavior. First, I look at what I can control, what I can influence, and what is out of my control (the 3 buckets.) I have been known to repeat to myself over and over and over again, I cannot control him. I cannot control him. It really helps to remember that others’ behavior and choices are not our responsibility, only our individual reaction to their behavior is! What helps you remember that you can’t control others? #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #inner peace #agency #mindset #3buckets
Saguaro cacti take 35 YEARS to bloom! What a timeline! Why is it so difficult to wait a few days until the weekend? Or a few months while trying to learn a new process at work? Or a few years while navigating better communication?

I have felt anger, bitterness, and hatred, sometimes all at the same time! As I have journaled, these emotions have become a real, tangible part of me. Gratitude is a counter balance to those deep feelings, shining a light that chases the darkness away. Even though the circumstances have remained the same, I have been able to see reality with more clarity. How has gratitude helped you overcome difficult feelings?

I have had years of overwhelming emotions due to complicated relationships. A tool that has really aided me in naming and understanding my own feelings, as well as better controling and communicating them, is journaling. There are lots of different ways to journal. What has worked for me may not be as effective for you! There are mood journals, bullet journals, gratitude journals, and the list goes on and on. What matters is you have a method for eventual self-soothing and self-processing for healing! What type, if any, of journaling has helped you process your feelings?

While finishing my run today, I was turning a corner when a group of women yelled out, “Snake!” I was so grateful they did, or I would’ve run over this beauty and possibly gotten into trouble. 😮💨 We all need someone to watch out for us when we are having difficulties. Who has helped you when you’ve struggled with elevated emotions, self doubt, or uncertainty in the midst of a stressed relationship? How have they helped you? #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #emotionalsupport #friends
When asking my 19 year old daughter, she said boundaries are “walls you set to keep annoying people out, and to prevent non annoying people from becoming annoying.” Succinct. I love how thoughtfully placed, flexible boundaries can assist us in focusing our time, energy, and other resources on what truly matters to us as individuals so we can feel we are living, more than just surviving. What are some priorities in your life you have maintained focus on by setting appropriate boundaries? #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #boudaries

“I have so much to do today, I will never get to bed on time!” We all have ways we want to show our love for others, or have skills we want to share to enrich others’ lives. Or maybe we just want a clean place to live and a healthy meal on the table! Either way, sometimes we need to live simpler so we can fully rest and recharge in order to live purposefully. How can simplifying your life help you to improve your sleep? #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #simplifying
“Just one more show.” or “Just one more chapter.” I often feel the need to be rewarded with something enjoyable, such as reading, after a hard day at work and taking care of kids. This can lead, however, to less sleep and eventual regret. A focus on my vision, which includes being energized, engaged, and creative the next day, in the moment often enables me to actively choose to turn off the light and get the sleep I need. I am no longer on autopilot, but am consciously choosing to get the sleep I need to stay true to my vision. How can awareness of your vision in the moment help you with your sleep? #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #vision #sleepmatters #improvedsleep
There sure are a lot of words on this page! And these may not always be accurate in all the circumstances you may face. But this may be a springboard for self reflection when addressing feelings, such as when you avoid speaking up when your spouse has a strong opinion or you tend to listen only when it's convenient to you. Remember, first seek to understand, then work to increase your peace! #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #selfrespect
“The kids need me. I can’t fit it in.” “The house is a mess, so I really should skip my run.” Have you made comments like these before? I sure have, and I realize afterwards that sometimes I am devaluing myself, or making my needs second to others. In what ways do you show you value yourself and your needs? How have you shown others that you value yourself? #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #selfcare #youmatter #stewardship
"I should be a better mother/father/employee, etc." "I should be exercising everyday." "Should" is a sneaky word that has the possibility of meaning so much, usually negative. How does "should" make you feel and think in the situations you use it? If you feel negative emotions, what other ways can you express those statements with increased autonomy and self compassion? Sharing this out of love, everyone! #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #selftalk #positiveselftalk
“I only need __hours of sleep, I am fine!” “I have way too much to do to get the sleep I need.” Sleep, and/or the lack thereof, affects everything we do, including the ability to better emotionally regulate ourselves and handle our difficult relationships with patience. What would your life be like if you felt refreshed and energized from a consistent good night’s sleep? What would you be willing to do to get that feeling consistently? #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #improvedsleep #improvedsleepquality #sleepmatters
"I am so embarrassed!" "I will never be as ____as her/him!" "I am just so stupid/inept/etc, I give up." Have you ever said any of these phrases to yourself after doing something for the first time or after doing something that does not come naturally to you? How does that self talk affect your desire to repeat and learn the task? In Adam Grant's book, Hidden Potential, he shares that changing how we look at mistakes can change how we learn. -as we get encouragement from others while making mistakes, we become more motivated to try again -the more mistakes we make, the faster we will improve, because we are practicing -the more mistakes we make, the less discomfort we feel The goal is to keep attempting! How is your self talk helping or hindering you? How can you support someone else through their challenges? How can you change the way you look at mistakes in order to Increase Your Peace? #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #growthmindset #fixedmindset
Who wants one more thing to check off the list? No one! BUT.... if that one additional action could help you be more productive, help you decrease your stress, and help you better regulate your emotions so you are your best self in your various roles as a spouse, parent, grandparent, friend, sibling, employee, boss, neighbor, or whatever roles you play, wouldn't it be worth it? What is non-negotiable for you to feel your best? What addition to your routine would benefit you the most? #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #innerpeace #selfcare
"I am fine." "I don't need any help." "It's not that big a deal." Have you ever said anything like this, and not been completely honest, either to yourself or to others?

So, what's a girl like me doing in a place like this? After 25 years of marriage (fini!), 3 children, and 5 states, I found myself searching for my purpose. After reflection, I realized: -I had been using Jesus Christ's Atonement in my life, and it works! -I had been successfully maintaining my own identity and keeping inner peace amidst relationship chaos -I love the joy that comes from helping others increase their peace through empathic listening and constructive guidance Watch this space as I share information about 1:1 coaching options, build a safe community, and provide action oriented content and deep inquiries to help you Increase Your Peace! #ldscoach #faithbasedcoach #ldscoaching #ldscoachingforwomen #latterdaylifecoach #emotionalwellness #inner peace
❤️🩹 But the emotion is real. I think this is the holdup that can keep us back from relationship change. The feelings are real. The hurt. The frustration. The resentment. The anger. The disappointment. The experience of those emotions can be so and raw and painful. So we’ve got this emotional fire going. And after the emotion comes the guilt: guilt that you *shouldn’t* be feeling this way. So you quickly cover that fire with dirt. But the coals are still very much alive. And there they are, smoldering away under that thin superficial layer of earth. It’s like trying to cover a gunshot wound with a bandaid. You can’t just “get a grip” or call it “not a big deal” when huge emotions are involved. Suppressing just makes the pressure grow. For real and lasting relationship change in a relationship that’s struggling, you have to put on your own oxygen mask first. You have to go deep on what emotion is bothering you, allow it, process it—and then you can move forward. At the 2024 Women’s Life Coaching Retreat, you choose how deep you want to go during our workshops, classes, and coaching sessions. This experience is for you. And as your coach, I will be there to gently, and safely guide you in whichever direction you choose to go. So whether you are in need of a mom getaway or want to kickstart your 2024 transformation, this retreat is for you.

I need to clarify something about Laman, since we’re going to be talking about him next week on Wednesday. (Link to join this conversation is in my IG bio, by the way.) I don’t plan to have a Laman-bashing session. I think I AM Laman in so many ways. This is why I want to have the conversation. I don’t think it’s an accident that the story of Lehi’s family is the first one (and potentially the only one) that Book of Mormon readers read. Because Laman’s story is our story. His behavior perfectly encapsulates what the average human being would do when put into a very, VERY small insulated group of humans with whom he doesn’t find lots of compatible chemistry. Humans who are constantly encouraging him to be better. Humans who are pretty sure they are right (and endorsed by God). Humans who have just turned his whole world upside down with their ideas. Laman’s story is one about starting out extremely uncomfortable and moving towards bitter. But the opportunity here is for us to write our OWN story. To learn what it would look like to be extremely uncomfortable and NOT move towards bitter. It’s our prerogative to learn to not throw the baby out with the bath water. Not throw the principles and the power and the revelation out because there are people we don’t get along with. I’m really fascinated to chat about this. Wednesday, February 23 at 10 am Arizona time. PS: In case you were wondering, those hands are my 10-year-old’s. #bom #scripturepower #churchofjesuschrist #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #lds #latterdaylifecoach #comefollowme #liahona #strengthofyouth #jessicawiestcoaching

@crystalhansen_ shares a teaching tidbit💡💕 Emotions are simply notifications ~ what are yours telling you when you take a minute to listen?🤯
At times it can feel like emotions happen TO us. When someone says something “harsh” to or about you and seemingly all of the sudden you’re offended, angry, shocked, or hurt. You weren’t upset BEFORE they said those words but now??? Operating from this place is limiting, suffocating, and disempowering. Good news however, you are not a passive participant but an active creator of your world and your emotions play a mighty role in that perception. If you want to learn how to master your emotions and learn how to create confidence then you need to come join me this month in the Catalyst membership program. We’re diving deep into the world of feelings and teaching you how to become the active architect of your world. It’s so good. Come join me! Door close THIS SUNDAY!!!!

Sometimes that teacher will appear in the form of a difficult person, or a sickness, or a job. Or it may be your own self judgement. Regardless, life if your teacher and whatever problem you are facing, you are equipped to handle. You've always been ready to face the challenges (teachers) before you. You just need to BELIEVE you are ready. And if you struggle believing, believe on the Lord, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light. You can do all things through Christ. #tysonbradleycoaching #thepathofhonor
