Inner Peacemaker Parent Podcast

CaSaundra Kimball

As an “Inner Peacemaker Coach,” I love combining self care and the gospel together to help busy-giving moms stop spiraling in guilt and emotional overwhelm by teaching them how to process emotions with God instead of numbing them. I help them learn to regulate their emotions and replace guilt-driven coping habits (excessive sugar/food/technology/etc to comfort themselves) with Christ-centered self-care. I help them learn how to “be still” just long enough (even while being so busy) to really take care of themselves with God's grace.  I will provide supportive ideas of nourishing thoughts and self-care habits (most ideas take less than 30 seconds to do at home) that tie harmoniously into gospel teachings. I hope these episodes support your creativity and desire to take care of yourself which will help you show up better for yourself, your family, your church group & ministering families, your community, and for God.  If your heart or mind could use a spark or fanned flame of God's love for you, and you're ready to level-up to the next awesome version of you, I'd be honored to show how God's grace is already available for you, so now we just get to talk about HOW to better apply and enjoy that gift! Let's go calm any storms inside and become inner peacemakers!    P.s. I made a free Facebook group called "Creating Inner Peace: Christ-Centered Self Care for Moms" to share mental health tools, classes, and encouragement; I hope you feel so welcomed to join for lots of love & support to you fellow busy mothers. Here's a link to join for free: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DWW1i2M82/ P.p.s. Side-note: I started my podcast on YouTube so for any previous episodes (before #40), you can find them with the same title on YouTube or with this link: https://youtube.com/@casaundrak.withcreobalance?si=IMPef409S6et7MyW  P.p.p.s. I'm so glad you're here! Get ready to change WITH the God who loves you!

    Ep.56: One Simple Habit to Remember Your Divine Identity so You Can Show-up as a More Calm & More Loving Parent

    One time I put down the back seats in my car, put fluffy pillows and soft blankets in there with twinkle lights and homemade treats and drove around to different homes to offer a 10-min "homework break" to some of the young women I was asked to serve at the time. While they enjoyed treats, I read them a story I first heard years ago during my first time at girls camp. This powerful little story still (years later) helps me feel so special and loved.   In this episode, I actually end up sharing two ideas today about HOW to remember your identity. I’d like to include a written down version of some of the mantras I verbally shared including references of where I got them (see below). *Remember to experiment and choose one that resonates with you! Or pick something from your patriarchal blessing or an impression you've had about how God feels about you. ------------------------ Shared mantras to help spark your own thoughts:     ~“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God” (the apostle Paul in Romans 8:16). ~"Wow, look at me! I am awesome! I am a child of God! He knows me! I love me! I am gifted—gifted with the Holy Ghost as my constant companion!" (Elder Gary E. Stevenson, General Conference, Oct 2023).  •Favorite lines from Max Lucado’s book “You Are Special” include:  “Every day I’ve been hoping you’d come,” Eli explained.  {Punchinello asked:} “…Why don’t the stickers stay on her?” “…Because she has decided that what I think if more important than what they think. The stickers only stick if you let them… If they matter to you. The more you trust my love, the less you care about their stickers.” (29).  “…You’ve got a lot of marks. For now, just come to see me every day and let me remind you how much I care.”  “…Remember,” Eli said as the Wemmick walked out the door, “you are special because I made you. And I don’t make mistakes.” Punchinello didn’t stop, but in his heart he thought, I think he really means it. And when he did, a dot fell to the ground.” End book quotes.  •I am a beloved daughter/son. I have a divine nature and eternal destiny (lines come from the Family Proclamation, read by President Gordon B. Hinckley as part of his message at the General Relief Society Meeting held September 23, 1995, in Salt Lake City, Utah OR the YW worldwide theme).   •I am of noble birth, the offspring of the King of Heaven. (Boyd K. Packer said, “You are a child of God. He is the father of your spirit. Spiritually you are of noble birth, the offspring of the King of Heaven.” In the Liahona: “To the Young Women and Men,” May 2019.) •I am seeing my true reflection. ((Elder Uchtdorf “Our True Identity” video from the Emotional Self Resilience course from the Church)) •I say yes to all of me. (Jody Moore) •I am valued beyond measure by my heavenly parents. (((Spencer W. Kimball, “Privileges and Responsibilities of Sisters,” Ensign, Nov. 1978, 105).)) •The worth of souls is great in the sight of God ((Doctrine and Covenants 18:10) •I will be like the most High. ((Isaiah 14:14)) •She/he is learning line upon line, just like me. ((I use this often with my kids; comes from 2 Nephi 28:30)) •“I have much to give” ((idea from D&C 82:3 “..unto whom much is given much is required”))  •“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (Paul’s words found in Philippians 4:13).  •We’ve been studying Esther this week so I also love the thought of “{ I have} come to the kingdom for such a time as this” Esther 3:14
