Stand with Lynnette

We are wrapping up our self-care Fundies this week by talking about finding JOY. Listen in to find out how to find joy amid life's challenges. (And, if you would like to learn about the other Fundies and how they work together to support you, catch up on episodes 8-12.) We will discuss how to recognize what is blocking joy and how to cultivate more joy, no matter what is happening in your lif...

It is easy to find gratitude looking back over the challenges we have overcome, but what about feeling grateful while climbing the mountains of adversity? Is that even possible? Dieter F. Uchtdorf believes that the secret to such a feat is to be grateful in our circumstances rather than being grateful for things. He said, “We can choose to be grateful, no matter what. This type of gratitude transc...

Through his research about hope, Shane Lopez determined that “hope is the belief that your future will be better than your present and you have the power to make it so.” While I love Shane’s definition, I would add God into the equation. So, we, with God’s help, have the power to create a future that is infinitely better than our present. With that in mind, we can no longer be powerless victims of...

For the next few weeks, we will continue to focus on a series of self-care fundamentals or "Fundies" that drastically affect all areas of our life, including our spirituality. The Fundies include: eat, sleep, move, breathe, be present, be prosperous, be grateful,  and be joyful. This week, we will be diving into breath - the bridge between the body and the mind. We will discuss why breat...

The Fundies include: eat, sleep, move, breathe, be present, be prosperous, be grateful. This week, we will be diving into sleep and movement. Why do these things matter? How can they help us bridge the gap between hope and despair...

For the next few weeks, we will be focusing on a series of self-care fundamentals or "Fundies" that drastically affect all areas of our life, including our spirituality. The Fundies include: eat, sleep, move, breathe, be present, be prosperous, be grateful. This week, we will be focusing on food, and how what we eat has a MASSIVE impact on, not only our physical health but our mental and spiritual...

I copied these comments from my social media feed several months ago. “I make it a practice to not waste my time responding to people I have no respect for.” “It’s because of people like you that the state of the world is what it is.” “You are such a moron for being so educated.”  These comments represent the reality of communication in our world: a world with little respect for anyone who be...

Do you struggle to hear the voice of the Spirit? If so, you are in really good company. I recently surveyed a group of women and asked them how confident they felt in their ability to receive personal revelation. There was a sliding scale of 1-5, 1 being "I wonder if God ever speaks to me," and 5 being "I am confident in my ability to Hear Him." Almost half of the respondents chose either 1 o...

Sometimes, we mistakenly believe that, if we have enough faith, God will remove painful obstacles from our paths. That could be true – He does work miracles and, sometimes, those miracles include healing in all forms. But what if He does not take our challenges away? Does that mean we lack faith? In this episode, we explore the story of Liberty Jail, one of the darkest times in the life...

Do you ever see yourself through the distorted lenses of inadequacy, self-doubt, comparison, or lack? Or do you know someone who is struggling with their self-worth? If so, this episode is for you. Identity affects EVERYTHING. If we truly understand WHO we are and WHAT we are here on this good earth to accomplish, we will be an unstoppable force for good. Because of that, the adversary i...

When I was young, I thought the song "Follow the Prophet" was the worst Primary song ever. It was long and repetitive, and I got bored with it. But now, I cling to the words: "Follow the prophet – Don't go astray. Follow the prophet – he knows the way." Within the past year or two, there has been a flood of hate directed at the prophet and other Church leaders for various reasons. Most of it has c...

Do you ever have questions or doubts surrounding the Church? Do you want to learn how to navigate doubt while strengthening your faith? Or do you sometimes feel like doubt surrounding the Church is celebrated, especially on social media? If you answered yes to any of those questions (or know someone wrestling with questions or doubts), this is the episode for you. In my early twenties, I...

Now, more than ever, the world needs light. And, as covenant women, we are light. We have a divine charge from the Savior himself to “Arise and Shine Forth” amid the growing darkness of these latter days. But, to do that, we must stand firm and faithful amid the intensifying storm. Only then will we be able to lead ourselves, our families, and others to the safety of the Savior’s embrace. If you a...
