Latter-day Life Coaches

The pressure to be a good athlete starts early in a child's life and continues as they grow and settle into their preferred sport. With so much emphasis on winning and being good it's no wonder that many young athletes can start to equate their worth and value to the success they are  or aren't seeing in their sport. After years of pushing and striving to be better and better herself, coach Lorrin...

What is the most powerful animal in Africa? If you said the lion you would be right. They are top predators in the food chain and called the king of the jungle for a reason. Yet at a zoo in Argentina, there are lions that humans can freely mingle with. How is this possible? The answer is one that you will have to learn by listening to the podcast today but it comes down to the fact that the lions...

In the October 2014 General Conference Elder Jorg Klevingat said,  "Your soul consists of your body and spirit (see D&C 88:15 ). Feeding the spirit while neglecting the body, which is a temple, usually leads to spiritual dissonance and lowered self-esteem. If you are out of shape, if you are uncomfortable in your own body and can do something about it, then do it!" Coach Lisa Salisbury agrees whol...

Every human being has emotions. They are an integral part of the human experience and yet, we push them away, ignore them, and label them as either "good" or "bad". But really all that emotions are is a vibration in our body that is produced by a thought. Oftentimes though that vibration can be so intense that we can't even get to the point of knowing the thought that is causing them. Coach Angela...

We are raised in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to think that things should look a certain way when it comes to our families and Church activities. But when a family has a child that has autism, or is neurodiverse, following the script often becomes impossible in order to meet the needs of the child.  For those who don't have children with a disability there is a lot we can do to...

We associate CEOs with big companies that are powerful and make lots of money but some of the most important CEOs are mothers. Being a mother is one of the biggest leadership roles a woman can hold and yet so many feel they are simply just janitors that are good for nothing more than cleaning up one mess after another. Coach Mary Ann Hill wants to help young mothers realize that they truly are the...

"Everything is going exactly to plan", is not what you would expect to hear from a parent who has a teen struggling with drug abuse. But coach Beth Hillman has come through the fire of having a child deal with a drug addiction and can see that truly, everything has gone exactly to plan. So much to plan that she would never go back and not go through all that she has to get herself and her son to w...

We have all been taught how habits can create better results in our lives and that they can help us reach our goals and dreams. But coach Kat Jenkins believes habits are just the beginning. She helps her clients move from habits which are based in actions to rituals which may look like habits but are really practices that have deeper meaning and purpose. This episode will help you see how you can...

It's a pretty normal desire as a parent to want our children to be happy. While often well intentioned, not allowing our children to experience emotions that are outside of "happy" can create self-doubt and insecurity. On today's podcast coach Lindsay Law gives three shifts parents can make in their communication so that  their teens feel validated and accepted in their emotions. And as with most...

For most of us, we probably created a life plan when we were young that included getting a higher education or advanced skill, acquiring a job, getting married, and having children. After those things were accomplished, it's rare many of us had a plan beyond that. But life does continue after we have children and that includes a life with changing hormones and for every woman a journey through the...

In Moses 3:5 we read,   "For I, the Lord God, created all things, of which I have spoken, spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth."   This is a profound and beautiful truth we hold in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We know God knew us and created us spiritually before we were created physically. And yet, even knowing that truth we can find it hard to ta...

In a world that is constantly telling you that you need to be a certain way it can be hard to know who you really are and what your true personality is. Coach Heather Fillmore helps her clients determine for themselves who they are by coming to understand and examine their personalities. Heather is a big believer in the Enneagram test. While she coaches Enneagram 9's specifically, she talks on the...

God has blessed each of us with unique and specific talents and abilities that He not only expects us to use but needs us to use so that we can continue to grow and become who He sent us to earth to be. All too often as mothers we can bury those talents for the sake of others but then are we just like the servant in the parable that buried his talent only to have it taken away? Coach Amber Haider...

Talking to your kids about sex and their sexuality can be an uncomfortable conversation, but it doesn't have to be. In this special edition episode of the podcast sex coach Amanda Louder wants to help you know that you can have a very open, healthy, and faith promoting conversation with your children about sex and their sexuality. She sits down with Heather in this episode to discuss a resource sh...

As parents it's natural to want our children to choose certain things or make particular choices so that they can have a certain outcome. But all too often we really want them to do that so we can appear a certain way as a parent and we can feel like we were successful in our parenting role.  Releasing our children of certain expectations doesn't stop once they leave our home or reach the age of a...

With anything in life, when you enter into something for the first time there are a lot of unknowns and ways of doing things that are not obvious to you. When an individual becomes a new member in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints they have questions and don't know all the ways to do things. This requires patience as the new convert as well as a lifelong member to help the convert in...

As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we value the marriage relationship and feel that it is the most important relationship we have here on earth. We have revealed doctrine on the eternal nature of marriages and how the sealing ordinance of marriage is a necessary part of our eternal progression.    Being that marriage is ordained by God it's safe to say that He feels stro...

Just like the seasons change as the earth moves around the sun, our lives also have seasons that change as we grow older and pass through different phases of our lives. While we are each aware of those seasons, the change from one season to another can often be difficult and hard to navigate. Coach Jill Pack helps women of faith make the transition from one season to the next by taking them throug...

We all have heard the childhood rhyme, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me." It seemed true as children, but in reality words really can hurt and cause a lot of damage.    Within the Church we can often refer to those who have left as wayward, lost sheep, or apostate. Coach Jennifer Barnhart has many members of her family who have stepped away from the Church and she...

Outside of having someone close to you pass away, divorce is the most stressful thing anyone could go through. It is a time of change anywhere from where you live, how you parent, your financial situation, and the relationships you have in your life. Whenever you are going through something as life changing as divorce, it is important to get all the support you can get.   On today's podcast, you w...

Whenever we discuss pornography use in the Church we often refer to it as an "addiction" but coach Zach Spafford thinks this is an innacurate description of what is happening and one that needs to change.    Zach feels the narrative around pornography use needs to change so that we can allow for agency and mistakes. When we can come to accept that all of us were sent to earth to use our agency and...

Who doesn't like bacon? Bacon is a favorite for many families but when you have a large family, having bacon on a regular basis can get expensive. In coach Meg Thomas's family one of their biggest family debates was over bacon. The kids wanted more but the parents knew daily bacon just wasn't in the budget. How did they compromise? By holding a family meeting where every person's concerns were voi...

We all want to have a good relationship with our children. But relationships between children and their parents can often become strained during the teen years. We often associate it to the teen being rebellious but really, they are just wanting autonomy. What we have to learn as parents is to release the control on our teen and let them take control of their own life. This is difficult but will m...

We live in a world that likes to quantify things and place value on how much something is worth. We are constantly determining the worth and value of everything in our life. We do it with activities and events by weighing them against the value of our time. We do it with clothes, cars, and houses against the money we think they are really worth.  Since we engage in placing value on so many things...

There is only one you and so you are the only one who can create a life where what you really want is a top priority. Many know this but making the things that matter most a priority an actual reality can often seem overwhelming and impossible.   Coach Molly Claire sits down to talk with Heather about how each of us has unique desires, wants, and gifts that were given to us on purpose by God so th...
