    I Witnessed Someone End Their Life — Here’s My Story, and What I Learned About God’s Love for Us.

    This episode discusses suicide and emotionally difficult experiences. Listener discretion is advised. This is one of the most personal and difficult stories I have ever shared. In this episode, I open up about witnessing someone choose to end their life, the moments leading up to it, and the things that changed inside me afterward. I share this story carefully and without graphic detail, with the hope that it may bring compassion, understanding, and hope to anyone who is struggling or grieving. This episode is not about fear or judgment. It is about love. It is about the worth of every human soul. And it is about the belief that even in our darkest moments, God and Jesus Christ have not abandoned us. We talk about: • Suicide statistics and why this conversation matters • Why openly talking about suicide can help prevent it • My personal experience and the emotional aftermath • My daughter’s powerful spiritual experience after this event • Faith, grief, healing, and the love of God • Hopeful quotes and messages for anyone feeling broken, lost, or alone • Resources for those who need support If this topic is tender for you, please listen gently and take care of yourself while listening. If you need to talk, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is here for you. “At the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, we understand that life's challenges can sometimes be difficult. Whether you're facing mental health struggles, emotional distress, alcohol or drug use concerns, or just need someone to talk to, our caring counselors are here for you.

    Habits That Create Real Happiness and Joy— with Nicole Kernohan

    In this powerful episode, Nichole Kernohan- TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and high performance coach, shares her incredible story of being diagnosed with MS in her early twenties—and then completely recovering. Now 23 years symptom-free, she opens up about how the root of her healing wasn’t just physical…it was her mindset. From there, we dive into the heart of her new book Audacious Joy, unpacking what it really means to choose joy even when life is messy, painful, or completely unplanned. Nichole talks about being bold with your joy, releasing the pressure to force everything, and stepping out of the “workhorse” mentality so many of us get stuck in. We explore practical tools for uncovering and erasing subconscious beliefs that hold us back, and how doing this inner work creates space for real success, happiness, and peace. Nichole also shares why forgiveness is one of the most freeing (and creatively unlocking) decisions we can make—and how withholding it can quietly block the life we’re trying to build. We close the episode with an empowering conversation about retraining your neuropathways: how repetition, intentional thoughts, and new beliefs can reshape your identity from the inside out. If you’re looking for a mix of inspiration, science, faith, and practical tools to step into a more joyful life…this one is for you.

    How I overcame a 7 year battle with addiction and bulimia through Jesus Christ.

    My 7 year battle with addiction/bulimia and how I overcame it through Christ.  Now 14 years free!  “I testify to you that you have a mission to fulfill. Everyone of you.” Sheri Dew  “People don’t know when to quit, and that’s why they quit” -Mitchell Tenpenny “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (Matthew 11:29) “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:30). “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:13) For with God nothing shall be impossible (Luke 1:37) “And I will also ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand as witnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I the Lord God, do visit my people in their afflictions.” (Mosiah 24:14, Book of Mormon) “Have ye any that are sick among you? Bring them hither. Have ye any that are lame, or blind, or halt, or maimed, or leprous, or that are withered, or that are deaf, or that are afflicted in any manner? Bring them hither and I will heal them, for I have compassion upon you; my bowels are filled with mercy.” (3 Nephi 17:7, Book of Mormon) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28–30).  Socials: https://www.instagram.com/iambrittanybell/ https://www.youtube.com/@Iambrittanybell https://www.tiktok.com/@iambrittanybell?_r=1&_t=ZP-96jSXOV8OeV https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org
