Daily's For a Deeper Connection
Lifting the Lifters
When you feel better, you do better. When you feel loved, you give love. When you feel peace, you bring peace. When you feel joy, you emulate joy. In this week's episode, we discuss daily restoration items to help increase our capacity to handle stress and connect with and love others! These begin with a connection to ourselves and with God. We are spiritual beings having a mortal experience, but we don't always remember that or have a hard time separating the two. We discuss how journaling, reading the Book of Mormon, heart connection, and gratitude help us to connect...

Let's Go Deep
Lifting the Lifters
Jay Shetty, a coach, monk, and host of the "On Purpose with Jay Shetty Podcast," has a phrase he uses often. He says, "A mile wide and an inch deep." He uses this to describe a lack of depth in modern life, knowledge, or relationships. He points out that while we have access to vast amounts of information (a "mile wide"), we rarely take the time to truly understand or apply it deeply (only "an inch deep"). In this podcast we discuss adding depth to our knowlege. Rather than accepting our miles worth of surface level knowlege, actually digging and going deeper. I relate this...

Separate This and Everything Changes
Lifting the Lifters
This week on the podcast, I’m sharing a simple experience that turned into a powerful reminder! It started with something small… selling a rowing machine. In a moment of overwhelm and decluttering, I listed it quickly without much thought, only to find out that I had drastically undervalued it. Instant regret! The “why didn’t I think this through?” But underneath that reaction was a deeper lesson: We do this same thing to ourselves all the time. We confuse our worth with our value! We assess it based on our productivity, our performance, how we show up, or how others respond to us....

An Easter Invitation
Lifting the Lifters
I love all of the traditional Easter celebrations. The egg hunts, the bunnies, the chicks, and the dying hard-boiled eggs to go from white to vibrant colors! What if, alongside all of the traditions, we took a chance to also reflect. In this episode, I’m sharing a simple invitation to remove the noise, reconnect with Christ, and realign with what matters most. Small, intentional shifts can bring powerful peace. Listen in to gain some insight and some ideas on what you can do to fill your Easter with more peace.

Anger is the Tip of the Iceberg
Lifting the Lifters
Anger is one of the most misunderstood emotions. We either justify it or try to suppress it, but rarely do we stop to ask what’s actually underneath it. In this episode, we’re exploring the emotional iceberg and why anger is often just the surface emotion. Beneath it can be hurt, rejection, fear, or feeling unseen. Until we understand that, we stay stuck in the same reactive patterns. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, snapped in a moment, or wondered why certain things trigger you more than others, this episode will help you see your emotions in a completely new way. Because anger isn’t...

Friendship is Built, Not Found
Lifting the Lifters
Friendship can be one of the most meaningful parts of our lives. It can also be one of the most vulnerable. This week on the podcast, I’ve been thinking about a phrase from the Old Testament that has stayed with me: “Consider your ways.” As I sat in a lesson at church, I started thinking about my own relationships, my ministering, and the ways I show up for the people around me. Life gets busy. We focus on our families, our responsibilities, and the many demands of daily life. Sometimes without realizing it, we stop looking up long enough to see the people around us who might need...

Do I Even Use This Anymore?
Lifting the Lifters
This week I found myself cleaning out a bedroom after one of my kids moved out, and what started as a simple room clean-out quickly turned into a whole-house decluttering project. As we sorted through years of accumulated memories, we kept asking the same question: Do I want this anymore? Do I need this? Do I even use this anymore? It made me realize that we often hold on to things in our lives the same way we hold on to physical clutter — thoughts, behaviors, reactions, and beliefs that may have once served us but no longer do. In today’s episode, we talk about learning to pause, look...

What I Told the Girls In Body Sculplting
Lifting the Lifters
There are to factors that impact every single human on the face of the earth. Do you know what they are? Health Money Those two factors influence our families, opportunities, and really everything! They require time, attention, and intention. This week, I had the opportunity to speak to a group of sophomore to senior girls in a body sculpting class, and what unfolded was deeper than sets and reps. We talked about the health aspect and where our health resides....in our bodies. How we care for our bodies, our decisions, our food, and our exercise isn't just a matter of...

Bonus Replay Interview with Jeff Brabant
Lifting the Lifters
Welcome to the Bonus Replay of my Interview with Jeff Brabant! Jeff was my son Dylan’s baseball coach at Miles Community College in Miles City, Montana. Besides being an amazing coach, he was again, like Jason, a good human with so much wisdom and perspective. One of the main things I loved about Jeff and his coaching style with the BOAC he had with each player. BOAC stands for a “bit of a chat.” He’d have a one-on-one chat with each player discussing not just baseball, but ALL things. Jeff knew that his players had a whole lot of other stuff in life, like...
info_outlineHave you ever wondered what it would be like to have a life coach? Maybe you’ve had goals or dreams that you just haven’t been able to reach on your own. In this episode, I share why having a coach, advisor, or mentor can make all the difference.
I talk about my own experience while finishing my bachelor’s degree—and how having a mentor helped me accomplish my goal so much faster than I ever could have by myself! Together, we’ll walk through four powerful reasons why coaching works:
-
A safe place to talk. A coach gives you space to express yourself without judgment. Because they’re not as emotionally tied to you as a family member or close friend, they can offer a fresh perspective.
-
Expertise you can trust. A coach brings knowledge, tools, and ideas from their field of experience that you may not get anywhere else.
-
Accountability that sticks. This one is huge! I’ll be the first to admit—I struggle to stay committed to myself, but when someone else is checking in, I show up. A coach helps you set goals and stay committed to following through.
-
The nudge you need. A coach pushes you forward when you might stall on your own, helping you reach your desires more quickly and effectively.
Listen in to discover why coaching is so powerful. Whether you decide to work with me or another coach, having that kind of mentor, advisor, and cheerleader in your corner might be exactly what you need to accomplish your goals.
