    239. Forgiveness Without Excusing the Hurt

    Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast. Forgiveness gets talked about a lot. But for many women, it feels like pressure. Like you’re supposed to “move on” from something that still hurts… or make peace with something that never felt okay in the first place. In this episode, we’re clearing that up. You’ll learn what forgiveness actually is… what it is not… and how to begin releasing the weight of resentment without minimizing your pain or removing wise boundaries. Because healing doesn’t come from pretending it didn’t hurt. It comes from finally giving your heart permission to stop carrying it alone. There’s also a free worksheet linked for you to process this at your own pace. If this topic has ever felt confusing, heavy, or impossible… come take a listen! _______________________________ Link to the worksheet from this episode: https://www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/forgiveness _______________________________ Stick around for more Mental Health support & resources: 🎧 The LDS Mental Health Podcast: www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/blog 🎁 Free Resources: www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/free-trainings 🛒 My Shop: www.ldsmhc.com 📲 Follow on social media for more support and resources: @LDSMentalHealthco  📧 Contact Me: www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/site/contact LDS Mental Health Skills Deck: visit www.LDSMHco.com Get 20% off your Skills deck by entering code PODCAST at checkout.  Fortify Your Mental Health FREE Mini Course https://www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/FortifyRegistration

    238. After the Kids Grow Up: Reclaiming YOU With Dr. Christy Kane

    Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast. There’s a moment many women don’t see coming. The house gets quieter. The kids grow up. Roles begin to shift. And suddenly you find yourself wondering: Who am I now? For years you’ve poured your heart into motherhood, marriage, family, and service. And while those things matter deeply, they can quietly become the only place your identity lives. So when life transitions happen, it can feel disorienting. Lonely. Even a little scary. In this episode, psychologist Dr. Christy Kane and I talk about what it looks like to rediscover yourself during seasons of change. We talk about the emotions many women experience but rarely say out loud. The quiet grief. The anxiety. The sense of losing yourself. But we also talk about something hopeful. Rebuilding identity. Protecting yourself. And learning how to create purpose again without abandoning the faith and values that matter most. If you’re in a season of change or can feel one coming, this conversation might be exactly what your heart needs. _______________________________ Links from this episode: Kane Counseling Services: https://www.kanecounselingservices.com/  Dr. Christy Kane's Instagram: @dr.christykane _______________________________ Stick around for more Mental Health support & resources: 🎧 The LDS Mental Health Podcast: www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/blog 🎁 Free Resources: www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/free-trainings 🛒 My Shop: www.ldsmhc.com 📲 Follow on social media for more support and resources: @LDSMentalHealthco  📧 Contact Me: www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/site/contact LDS Mental Health Skills Deck: visit www.LDSMHco.com Get 20% off your Skills deck by entering code PODCAST at checkout.  Fortify Your Mental Health FREE Mini Course https://www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/FortifyRegistration

    236. Grieving the Loss of a Child with Lawrence and Melissa Stone

    Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast. Some losses split life into a before and after. And no one hands you a map for the after. In this deeply tender conversation, Lawrence and Melissa Stone share what it actually looks like to grieve the loss of children while trying to stay married, stay faithful, and stay human. Not the polished version. The real one. Silence. Anger. Distance. Small moments of connection. Starting over more than once. They talk honestly about how differently grief can show up inside the same home, why couples often drift apart without meaning to, and what helped them protect their relationship in the middle of unimaginable pain. If you’ve experienced loss, love someone who has, or carry fears about what you would do if life shattered, this episode offers gentle companionship and grounded hope. Not quick fixes. Not platitudes. Just people who have walked through fire and are willing to sit beside you. _______________________________ Get the Stone's book: Our Story[s]: The Unique Stories of a Husband and Wife’s Journey Through Child Loss https://amzn.to/4r12TA9  _______________________________ Stick around for more Mental Health support & resources: 🎧 The LDS Mental Health Podcast: www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/blog 🎁 Free Resources: www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/free-trainings 🛒 My Shop: www.ldsmhc.com 📲 Follow on social media for more support and resources: @LDSMentalHealthco  📧 Contact Me: www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/site/contact LDS Mental Health Skills Deck: visit www.LDSMHco.com Get 20% off your Skills deck by entering code PODCAST at checkout.  Fortify Your Mental Health FREE Mini Course https://www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/FortifyRegistration

    235. Healing Trauma through the Savior with Elisha Harris

    Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast. Some wounds don’t just hurt. They change how you see God, yourself, and everyone else. In this conversation, Elisha Harris shares how unresolved trauma can keep you stuck in survival mode even while you’re trying to do all the “right” things spiritually. We talk about the emotional armor many women carry, why staying busy can feel safer than being honest, and how healing through the Savior is less about performing and more about surrender. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, numb, ashamed, or like you’re trying so hard but still not feeling peace, this episode will meet you there. Not with pressure. With hope. _______________________________ Get to know our guest: Elisha Harris Instagram: @elishaaharris https://www.instagram.com/elishaaharris/   _______________________________ Stick around for more Mental Health support & resources: 🎧 The LDS Mental Health Podcast: www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/blog 🎁 Free Resources: www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/free-trainings 🛒 My Shop: www.ldsmhc.com 📲 Follow on social media for more support and resources: @LDSMentalHealthco  📧 Contact Me: www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/site/contact LDS Mental Health Skills Deck: visit www.LDSMHco.com Get 20% off your Skills deck by entering code PODCAST at checkout.  Fortify Your Mental Health FREE Mini Course https://www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/FortifyRegistration

    234. Caring for Everyone While Holding Yourself Together: Ask A Therapist

    Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast. When you’re the one everyone depends on, it can feel like there’s no space left for you to fall apart. This episode is for the quiet kind of exhaustion that comes from loving people through hard things while trying to hold your own life together. Niki answers listener questions about caring for a medically fragile child without losing your marriage, supporting a teen who speaks harshly about themselves, walking beside a spouse with depression, and coping with the heartbreak of an adult child creating distance. Instead of quick fixes, this episode offers small ways to stay connected when life feels heavy. Gentle ways to respond when words hurt. Compassion that doesn’t require you to abandon your boundaries. And hope that even when relationships shift or strain, healing and direction are still possible. If you’re tired, stretched thin, or quietly grieving something no one else fully sees, this episode will remind you that you are not alone, not broken, and not without support. _______________________________ Links mentioned in this episode: The LDS Mental Health Podcast Episode 222: Handling Boundaries Set for You www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/blog/222   _______________________________ Stick around for more Mental Health support & resources: 🎧 The LDS Mental Health Podcast: www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/blog 🎁 Free Resources: www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/free-trainings 🛒 My Shop: www.ldsmhc.com 📲 Follow on social media for more support and resources: @LDSMentalHealthco 📧 Contact Me: www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/site/contact LDS Mental Health Skills Deck: visit www.LDSMHco.com Get 20% off your Skills deck by entering code PODCAST at checkout.  Fortify Your Mental Health FREE Mini Course https://www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/FortifyRegistration
