#79 – Spiritual Power #1: Life Lessons from President Russell M. Nelson
Dare Greatly Podcast
Welcome to a new three-part series on Spiritual Power — inspired by the remarkable life and teachings of President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this first episode, I’m sharing lessons that have changed the way I see repentance — not as something heavy or guilt-driven, but as a source of joy and strength.

#76 - Be Still and Shine: Shining Light Into the World | No. 9 Be Still: A Summer of Meditation
Dare Greatly Podcast
In this tender and illuminating episode, we’re exploring what it means to live from your center and shine your light — even when it feels small. Drawing from the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:14, "You are the light of the world," we’ll look at three kinds of light we’re invited to be in the world: lower lights, luminaries, and lighthouses. Each serves a sacred purpose — including yours. You’ll hear the moving backstory behind the beloved hymn “Brightly Beams Our Father’s Mercy” and learn why the “lower lights” matter more than we realize — especially for women...

Dare Greatly Podcast
Welcome back to Be Still – A Summer of Meditation. In this episode, we explore what it means to partner with God—not just in our stillness, but in our everyday doing. Too often we think of spirituality and meditation as passive surrender, but today, we’re shifting that idea. Drawing from the powerful words of President Ezra Taft Benson, we consider ten specific promises God makes to those who turn their lives over to Him—promises like deeper joy, expanded vision, quickened minds, and poured-out peace. You’ll hear short stories from the scriptures—about Nephi, Esther, Mary, Moses,...
