    Episode 259. When You Can’t Stop Thinking About It

    Do you ever replay a conversation so many times you basically have it memorized? Or run through every possible way something could go before it's even happened? You're not broken, and you're not doing anything wrong. Your mind is just trying to do a job, and most of us were never taught which job that actually is. This week I answer a question from someone in my membership: if I stop thinking about my problem and just focus on what's in front of me, am I just avoiding it? I break down the three things your mind is really trying to do when it won't let something go, and how to tell which one is actually running the show. I also made a worksheet to go with this one, because it's the kind of skill you'll want to come back to more than once.

    Episode 258. Mental Health for Youth and Young Adults with Braeden Jensen

    Teens and young adults are dealing with anxiety, loneliness, comparison, dating, faith questions, difficult decisions, and the constant feeling that everyone else is somehow ahead. They don’t just need more advice. They need practical tools that make sense for the stage of life they’re in. In this episode, Niki is speaking with therapist Braeden Jensen about the unique mental-health challenges facing people ages 16–26 and why those struggles need their own conversations and support.

    Episode 257. When Your Habits Keep Falling Apart

    Have you ever promised yourself you’d pray more consistently, exercise regularly, read your scriptures every day, spend less time on your phone, or finally get organized? You start with good intentions, but then life happens. You miss one day, then another, and suddenly you’re wondering why you can’t seem to stick with anything. In this episode, Niki explains why struggling with your habits doesn’t mean you’re lazy, failing, or lacking commitment. Sometimes what looks like a habit problem is actually overwhelm, exhaustion, or emotional overload. If you’re tired of continually starting over, this episode will help you understand what may really be getting in the way and give yourself more grace as you begin again. Stick around to the end, because I'm also sharing something I built just for weeks like this one: The 7-Day Simple Habits Reset. It begins September 8.

    Episode 256. LDS Therapy Insights: The Hidden Reality of Emotional Abuse

    Sometimes the person hurting you is the person everyone else loves. This week's Therapy Insights answers two real listener questions about emotional abuse: one from a woman wrestling with guilt over wanting to leave, and one from a widow still making sense of a marriage nobody else saw the way she did. We talk about the difference between guilt and guidance, why fear doesn't always mean stay, and why your experience doesn't need anyone else's agreement to be real. If you have a question you'd like answered on a future episode, there's a link below to text it in. _______________________________ Have a question or struggle you’d like Niki to help with?

    Episode 255. When Fear Is Running Your Decisions

    Fear doesn't always look like fear. Sometimes it looks like overthinking the same decision for the hundredth time, researching something to death or praying about it again hoping it will finally feel different. Most people don't even realize fear is what's happening. They just feel stuck, and start wondering if something's wrong with them for not having peace yet. This week I'm walking through a simple skill for making decisions when fear is in the driver's seat: name it, separate it, choose anyway.

    Episode 254. Living the Gospel with an ADHD Brain with Brittney King LPC

    You've spent your whole life quietly wondering why some things feel so much harder for you than they seem to for everyone else. Scripture study won't stick. Prayers get lost in fifty other thoughts. You forget things you swore you'd remember, and the shame shows up before you even understand what happened. This week, therapist Brittney King, LPC joins Niki to talk about what ADHD actually looks like in adults, and why it usually has nothing to do with how hard you're trying. There's a reason your brain works this way, and it's more treatable than you think. _______________________________ Get to know our guest: Brittney King, LPC has a background in social work and school counseling. She is now a junior high school counselor and licensed therapist at Aligned Counseling serving patients in Idaho. Brittney specializes in ADHD and neurodivergence in children, teens, and adults.

    Episode 253. LDS Therapy Insights on Toxic Family Relationships

    How do you know when a family relationship needs stronger boundaries, more distance or possibly no contact? When family relationships are tied to faith, loyalty, traditions, and belonging, it can be hard to separate Christlike love from the pressure to keep everyone comfortable. In this first LDS Therapy Insights episode, I am explaining how to look for repeated unhealthy patterns, why a difficult relationship is not automatically a toxic one and the many levels of boundaries available before full cutoff. You’ll also learn why forgiveness does not require unlimited access and how to seek personal revelation from a place of clarity instead of guilt.

    252. When You Keep Praying but Don’t Hear Answers

    If you've been praying and the answer is just...silence, you're not alone. A lot of LDS women are doing everything right on the outside but quietly feeling disconnected from God. And the hardest part? They feel guilty even admitting it. Like maybe if they had more faith, they'd feel something. In this episode, Niki talks about the real reasons prayer can start to feel difficult and why that disconnect has way less to do with worthiness than most people think.  Plus: Niki's new 10-day prayer practice to help you start reconnecting through simple, intentional moments.  10 Day Prayer Practice: CLICK HERE TO JOIN _______________________________ Have a question you want answered on the podcast?
