Warrior with Linda Winegar

Okay Warrior Barbie, this one’s for us. You ever dream of your perfect Ken growing up? the prince, the hero, the best friend. Me too. But real life gets messy. Sometimes our Kens hurt us, sometimes we’re the ones who need healing, and sometimes we’re both flat on our faces like Barbie just trying to crawl our way to Jesus. In this episode, we’re talking about fighting for healing, not letting anyt...

Funny thing, read a quote from Elder Holland post-Barbie movie that hilariously linked to this scene in the film, remember? Those Ken dolls battling on the beach? Blonde Ken gets hit by waves, and Black Haired Ken teases. Like a "beach off" moment, right? Elder Holland's quote back in '09 nailed it about not digging up old stuff to toss at each other. He spoke of a a real-life &q...

You all know how much I love Superhero Movies! Piezoelectric Effect is the ability of certain materials to generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress. The word Piezoelectric is derived from the Greek piezein, which means to squeeze or press, and piezo, which is Greek for “push”. Do you ever feel this way? Pushed around, pressed down on and like life is being sqeezed out o...

Learned this concept from the podcast Talking Scriptures with Mike and Bryce. I am grateful for their help in adding more light to this so I can see a little more clearly.  Turning on the light isn’t always as simple as flipping a switch, listen to see what we can learn from the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr and how he controlled the darkness. If he can do it, so can we! He was just 14 and not a ba...

Our Battle Cries (AKA Affirmations, Statements of Control, Future Statements and Visualizations) wont all fit the same. I have created a list of 100 for you to choose from, to try on and to see which one fits.

As a Fidjiti entrepreneur I love the thrill of starting new businesses. It gets me fired up! Because of this ADHD method of entrepreneurship we have been able to create multiple streams of income. From my Etsy shop, my app, to our rental and more, we have been blessed to never experience what we went through when Our oldest was born over 12 yrs ago, which was unemployment and no insurance or ways...

Are you the kind of person who does the trash talking when playing sports or games or are you the person who gets trash talked to? Can you guess which one I am?  Mahatma Ghandi said “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I shal...

In December of 2010 there was a fire that destroyed the old Provo Tabernacle. The fire caused an estimated $15 million in damage. The tabernacle was one of the oldest buildings in Utah. The Church started construction in 1883 and took 15 years to complete it. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. After the fire, the only thing barely standing were the 4 outer walls. Time...

It’s a blizzard out there! Everyone is talking about how bad the weather is especially satan, but we can’t let that stop us from getting out there. If we believe Satan’s lies about how scary it is, we will miss how amazing life can be. We can only get so far and experience so much inside our comfort zone, get out there and see what you can do. Do that hard thing. Go out there and find out what you...

I am loving Noah’s experience of co-building and co-creating the Ark with the Lord!  Something I didn’t realize with Noah and the Ark, is that the Lord accounted for tons of peeps to fit in there with so many rooms and floors! But only 8 total peeps got on the ark (that is sad), plus animals. Why? Pres. Nelson has said “As you parents create experiences where your children can learn to feel t...

Do you own the game Spot It? Negative self-talk is any inner dialogue that seems like it’s coming from yourself but is really coming from satan because he can whisper anything to us and feed it to us in our own voice. He says things that may be limiting your thoughts to believe in yourself and your own abilities, and to reach your potential. It’s bad because once you internalize it and say it to y...

Have you ever taken the time to notice the difference between when the Holy Ghost talks to you and when Satan talks to you? God made everything with just using His words. So the adversary knows that words are a powerful tool to create what we desire or subconsciously create what we don’t desire in our lives and for others and uses words strategically against us to instill doubt in who we are and w...

Have you ever watched a real wrestling match? What do you notice? I needed to get off my high horse or let go of my pride, of holding onto being a victim, so that I could come down and place my hurt and my worry and my sorrows at my Savior’s feet. I was holding on so tightly because it had been a part of me so long, that I didn’t know how to pry it out of my fingers. This was my wrestle before the...

Dale Carinegie who wrote How to Win Friends and Influence People said, “Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.

Find out how I plan and record the episodes.  Some Gems:  One of my mentors Seth Godin says: "Sometimes, we mistakenly believe that we're building something that takes time, but what we're actually doing is hiding. We stall and digress and cause distractions, not because the work needs us to, but because we're afraid to ship.” (and of course he says "we" cause distractions but we know wh...

In the book The Wealthy Gardener, John Soforic says “We can ignore a lot of things but we can’t ignore our ambition. When we deny our desires our ambition becomes agitation.” I love Jesus Christ and desire to bless others like Him, because I have felt his love and want to share, so when He gave me the opp and I didn’t take it, my soul felt agitation real pain! What's up with the Letters and Episod...

Brené Brown says, “You can choose courage or you can choose comfort but you can’t have both.” Mel Robbins has come up with a BRILLIANT rule and an additional tool or weapon we can use against the resistance we feel after we decide we want to pursue something awesome, which I briefly mentioned in Episode 9. It’s counting down when you get a prompting or idea to do something meaningful like a goal o...

We know that Jesus Christ is the...

We are Spiderman fans! I use Spiderman's journey to help us see our journey is not much different.  We love this from Pres Nelson - he says, “The Lord needs you to change the world. As you accept and follow His will for you, you will find yourself accomplishing the impossible.” I can easily apply this to Spiderman, but really, I know he is talking to us! Enoch chose to follow the Lord and put...

How does satan show up in your life? I give you some examples to remind you you're not alone and then share Moses's hack to getting rid of the adversary! Didn't even know it was a thing but Moses seems to outline it for us.  Find it in the book of Moses 1:20 found in the Pearl of Great Price published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  What's up with the Letter and Epis...
