    From Nepal at 15 to Launching An Art Business: Leslie Morley on Faith, Fear, and Creative Calling

    At fifteen, Leslie Morley boarded a plane to Nepal alone. She lived in a rural village, served in an orphanage, and came home with a worldview she’s still unpacking. But the bravest thing she’s ever done wasn’t Nepal—or starting her art business painting Heavenly Mother. The bravest thing is staying: showing up for her kids, her faith, her creativity, and the work of being known. In this episode, artist Leslie Morley joins Becky to talk about faith and courage, creative motherhood, and how to raise brave kids without losing connection. They explore imposter syndrome, gratitude vs. guilt, and what it means to live “alive and awake in Christ.” This conversation weaves together Latter-day Saint faith, sacred art, and the daily courage it takes to stay connected to God, your family, your community, and yourself. If you’ve ever felt afraid to share your gifts, unsure in motherhood, or disconnected from your faith, this episode will ground and encourage you. Meet My Guest: Leslie Morley is a Christian artist known for paintings of the Divine Family—Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother, and Jesus Christ. She studied art at Southern Utah University and art history in Italy. Her work invites a deeper relationship with God through sacred art. A mother of two, Leslie believes creativity is a form of testimony: you are known, you are held, and heaven is closer than you think. Find her at LeslieMorley.com and @lesliemorleyarts. Key Takeaways: • How to raise brave, resilient kids through daily connection • Faith over fear: turning belief into action • Creativity as grounding for overwhelmed moms • Gratitude vs. guilt and overcoming comparison • Imposter syndrome in motherhood and creative work • Emotional vulnerability as real courage • Connecting with God, family, self, and community • Using your gifts without fear Chapters: 00:00 Who is Leslie Morley? 04:40 On Being an Imposter 09:06 Lessons from India: Gratitude and Humility 15:28 Oregon Nomads: A Year of Free Range Learning 16:57 Connecting with Nature as a Grounding Force 23:06 Building Love in Your Family 25:11 Connecting with Children 29:12 Midway 30:39 Connecting with Yourself through Creating 34:14 Out From the Bushel Blog 36:22 Family Mottos 38:23 Leslie Morley Art 45:42 Mosaic of Christ 47:08 Savoring Moments of Motherhood 49:38 Rapid Fire Questions Resources: The Four Connections That Make a Life Feel Whole Subscribe & Connect: 👉 sendymom.com 👉 becky@sendymom.com Becky’s Free Coaching Calendar If you loved this episode, try: How To Not Die in the Wilderness and Learning to Smell the Daisies How to Connect with Your Children: The Science of “Good Enough” Parenting Art After Motherhood: Creating Without Guilt

    When Life Falls Apart: Navigating Crisis with Clarity and Compassion

    What do you do when life permanently changes? In this deeply honest conversation, Meredith Parfet — CEO, crisis strategist, hospice chaplain, and mother — shares how losing a sister, surviving a near-death childbirth, and navigating business failure reshaped her understanding of grief, identity, and courage. We talk about advocating for yourself when it matters most, teaching your children to advocate instead of rescuing them, shifting from achievement to curiosity, and finding meaning through suffering. If you’ve ever faced loss, supported someone in crisis, or wondered how to stay alive and engaged through heartbreak — this episode will steady you. Meet My Guest: Meredith Wilson Parfet is the founder and CEO of Ravenyard Group, where she leads individuals and organizations through high-stakes crisis — from legal and regulatory action to complex family disputes and reputational collapse. With nearly two decades in asset management and hedge funds, including serving as COO for alternative investment funds, Meredith brings both operational precision and deep human care to her work. After experiencing profound personal loss, a near-death childbirth, and business failure, Meredith developed a rare capacity to walk toward hardship rather than away from it. In a full-circle twist, she also serves as a humanist hospice chaplain, sitting with individuals and families at the end of life. A fifth-generation Colorado native, Meredith restores the Sendy way — in the mountains with her family, chasing curiosity, courage, and meaning. New here? Try these episodes:  What is a Sendy Mom?
