Don't Delete the Strikeouts ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Don't Delete the Strikeouts ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Have you ever noticed how we tend to keep only the highlights? Whether it's the pictures on our phones, videos of our kids, a scorecard on the golf course, or even the stories we tell ourselves, it's easy to celebrate the wins while trying to erase the moments that didn't go as planned. In this episode, I share a few personal experiences that made me stop and ask, Why am I so quick to delete the hard parts? We'll talk about how joy and sorrow can exist together, why we don't have to wait for life to be perfect to experience joy, and how God sees so much more than our highlight reel. Maybe the moments we're tempted to erase are the very ones shaping us into who we're becoming. And maybe we should start asking: "What part of my story have I been trying to delete that maybe God is asking me to keep?"

The Joy Hunt
07/03/2026
The Joy Hunt
Many of us spend our lives mentally living somewhere else: Thinking about what happened yesterday. Worrying about tomorrow. Planning the next thing. Scrolling. Multitasking But the only place joy can actually be experienced is right now. Joy is a present-moment emotion. And how often are we truly present? I find my mind wandering to the future, worrying about the "next" thing, anticipating, problem-solving, and overthinking about things of the past. These are JOY KILLERS! Join with me as we learn more about JOY! How it lives in ordinary moments, not big fancy vacations or places in the mountains. It is in the little things every single day. We will discuss how the scriptures repeatedly remind us to remember! A word that connects us to the presence, one of the most sacred spiritual practices. We will discuss how joy can co-exist with grief, sorrow, and homesickness, and the enemies of joy! And, we will give ourselves a challenge to go on a Joy Hunt where we will look for five things in our ordinary, present moments! Listen in, become present, and experience more JOY!

The Revolutionary Act of Kindness
With the 250th celebration of the United States being this year, what better way to honor America's past than by shaping its future through service?

We discuss how ordinary people, through everyday kindness, can make an extraordinary difference! How kindness and service benefit the give AND the reciever, and how we can try to do a little better to be KIND rather than just nice!

When the Load Feels Too Heavy
Does your load feel too heavy right now? While responsibilities like work, parenting, relationships, and service can fill our plates, often it's the other things that add the most weight. In today's podcast, we discuss 5 things that add weight to our loads. Responsibilities Worries Expectations Emotional Backpacks Other people's "stuff" We will discuss each of these and how they can all add up to the weight that we feel. We will also discuss how to help manage that weight and load. We will talk about making two lists: My responsiblities Things I'm worried about but can't contol. Most importantly, we'll reflect on Christ's invitation to those who are "heavy laden" and how learning to surrender our burdens can bring greater peace, strength, and clarity. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or emotionally exhausted, this episode offers a reminder to get clear on what it is that is adding weight and reminding us all that we don't have to carry everything alone. Questions to consider as you listen: What am I carrying right now? Which burdens belong to me, and which do not? What might I need to place in the Savior's hands? Join me as we explore how to lighten the load and find greater peace in the middle of life's demands.

Parenting Ourselves

Parenting Ourselves
As Mother's Day has come and gone and Father's Day approaches, I've been thinking about the ways our parents continue to shape us long after childhood. Many of us can still hear their voices in our minds, the "one liners" they repeated, the lessons they taught, and the encouragement they offered when we needed it most. When people say, "I miss my mom" or "I miss my dad," they often miss more than the person. They miss the comfort, guidance, protection, encouragement, and love that person provided. What happens when we need those things as adults? In this episode, we'll explore how the nurturing and strength we received from parents can continue to bless our lives today. We'll discuss how we can learn to offer ourselves compassion, encouragement, and support during difficult moments, and how we can become a source of comfort and strength for others. We'll also look at parenting through a spiritual lens and consider how our longing for "home" may reflect our desire to feel closer to our Heavenly Parents. Through the love, service, and kindness of those around us, we can experience glimpses of Their influence and love. Listen in as we explore the legacy our parents leave behind, not just in memories, but in the qualities we carry forward and share with others.

State the FACTS

State the FACTS
Fear has a way of pulling us into imagined futures. What if I fail? What if I get hurt? What if I let someone down? In this episode, we talk about lessons from by baseball, missionary goodbyes, and everyday life: when fear starts telling stories, it's time to come back to the facts. Using a simple framework called FACTS, you'll learn how to recognize what you're feeling, reconnect with what you know to be true, identify your support system, and take the next small step forward, even when fear is along for the ride. Whether you're facing a difficult conversation, a big decision, a challenge at work, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's uncertainties, this episode will give you a practical tool to help you break the fear spiral and move forward with greater confidence and peace. State the FACTS! F — Feeling What am I feeling? A — Area Where do I feel it in my body? C — Certain What do I know for certain right now? T — Team Who is on my team? S — Small Step What is the next small step I can take? Remember: courage isn't the absence of fear. Courage is knowing the facts and stepping forward anyway.

I Just Wanna Go Home
"There's no place like home." This is something we've heard and felt our whole lives. It's that feeling when you walk through the door after a long day or a long vacation. That feeling after you cross home plate on the baseball field. And that feeling after a long stressful day. HOME Our bodies do all that they can to maintain "homeostasis." We sweat, release chemicals, shiver, and get defensive all in an effort to maintain or get back to a state of peace and rest. Sometimes our bodies just do their thing, and it works, and sometimes we use unhealthy coping mechanisms that can get in the way of our natural rhythms. In today's podcast, we talk about avoidance, overuse of external substances, and other methods we use to get a "quick fix" feeling of home, but they aren't a long-term solution. We also talk about those long-term solutions that are better for us in the long run, like sleep, connection, acceptance, and processing of emotions, and controlling the controllables. Listen in to today's podcast and learn ways to get back to HOME!

Prayer, Proximity, and the Two Step Drill

Prayer, Proximity, and the Two Step Drill
In today's episode, we are going to discuss prayer, proximity, and a concept called the two-step drill. This week my daughter Megan gave her farewell talk before she leaves on her mission to Louisville, Kentucky. In her message, she talked about prayer and how prayer is a way for us to gain a closer proximity to our Father and Heaven and the Savior. She used some personal experiences about her dad and Diet Coke that are amazing illustrations! Megan then taught us about the two-step drill. This is a method that was done for employers to see who would act first in a room full of interviewees, and who would "two-step" or act second. Megan related this to her own experience when she saw that she was "two-stepping" and how she wants to be quicker to act after she prays. This message is powerful, relatable, and full of truth and wisdom! Enjoy!

Who Is Influencing You?

Who Is Influencing You?
This week on Lifting the Lifters, we’re talking about the power of influence and how the small things we do every day quietly shape the trajectory of our lives, marriages, families, and future generations. I kept coming back to one important question: Who is influencing you? In this episode, we talk about the women in our lives who influence us? What we learn from them, and how their influence impacts our lives and the lives of others. We talk about Eve and her influence on the entire human family! We also talk about: • Why small daily actions matter more than we think • The influence parents, spouses, friends, and mentors have in our lives • How little consistent efforts eventually create generational impact The little things really do add up. Choose today who you allow to influence you and in turn, be an influence for good in other's lives!

The Lines of Thinking

The Lines of Thinking
In this week's podcast, we discuss the lines of thinking. I don't know if we ever really break them down to help us understand what goes on in our heads. We have what others think about us (or mostly what we THINK they think about us.) What we think of others. What we think about ourselves. We spend a lot of time in a day with all three of these lines of thinking, but do we put more mental time and energy into what others are thinking? If we are, we may consider this: What do we have control over? The only lines of thinking we have control over are what we are thinking about ourselves and about others. In this podcast, we break ALL THREE lines of thinking down. We talk about how when we try to get into other people's heads and read their minds or manipulate their thinking, we lose a sense of ourselves, and we become disregulated and put ourselves into a stressed state, fearing judgment and scrutiny. We talk about what we think about others, how we can be more kind and compassionate toward other people. And what we think about ourselves. We talk about creating a resume of all of the good qualities we possess. Listen in to this week to learn more about our lines of thinking and how each one has an impact on our stress, connection, and peace!

The Healing Power of Connection
In today’s episode, I share a personal story from a night our family life changed in an instant after my husband suffered a serious fall. What followed was something I’ve never forgotten: friends who showed up, stayed close, checked in, and served our family. We talk about why acts of service create such a deep connection, the science behind support and belonging, and how helping others can calm stress, build trust, and strengthen relationships. If you’ve ever been carried through a hard season or had the chance to carry someone else, this episode is for you. You were never meant to do life alone!

Daily's For a Deeper Connection
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 at a deeper level with ourselves and with God. Listen in to hear more about doing our daily's for a deeper connection to yourself and to God!

Let's Go Deep

Let's Go Deep
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 using an experience I had with Mashed Potatoes. Rather than accept what I knew, how I did, and the fact that I was not a great mashed potato maker, I decided to go deep, do some reading, and discover that I could become a really great mashed potato maker. We talk about two tips to help go deeper: Ask: We can't go deeper unless we want to. We have to ask questions to sources and to ourselves. If we don't give our brains a project or problem to solve, it will do it on its own and not always be productive! Apply: To make what we are learning solidified, we have to apply it! And then do it over and over and over again! Listen in to this podcast episode as we discuss adding depth to our knowledge base, and then using that depth to contribute to our world!

Separate This and Everything Changes
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. But here’s the truth: 👉 Your worth is constant 👉 Your value can grow, shift, and evolve In this episode, we talk about: The difference between worth and value Why we tie our identity to output And how to separate who you are from what you do If you’ve ever had a day where you felt behind, not enough, or like you were somehow “less than”… this episode is for you. You are not your output. You are not your worst day. And your worth? It was never up for negotiation.

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.

Anger is the Tip of the Iceberg
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 the problem… it’s the clue.

Friendship is Built, Not Found
03/13/2026
Friendship is Built, Not Found
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 connection, encouragement, or simply to be noticed. As someone who has spent years coaching teenagers through the challenges of making and maintaining friendships, I’ve realized that the struggles they face are often the same ones we experience as adults. We all want meaningful connection, but friendship can feel uncomfortable, risky, and sometimes even a little scary. In this episode, I talk about the “circles of friendship", why we naturally keep some people close for safety and trust, and how we can still reach outward to build connections with those around us. Who might be just outside your circle right now? This episode will give you suggestions on how to let them in. Maybe friendship, like the temple in Haggai’s time, is something we build one small piece at a time.

Do I Even Use This Anymore?
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 honestly at ourselves, and ask an important question: Is this helping me become who I want to be? Because sometimes growth begins by letting go.

What I Told the Girls In Body Sculplting
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 learning what to eat and what exercises to do; it's a matter of how we think about our bodies. If our relationships with our bodies are full of hate and judgment, our decisions and behaviors will be out of punishment. If our relationships with our bodies are with respect, love, and care, we will make deliberate decisions to care for our bodies and our health. In this episode, I talked about three things I wish I knew when I was 16. All bodies are different. Bodies change, and they are supposed to. Our bodies are our friends. We dive into each one of these and discuss how this can propel us forward to respect, listen to, and care for the body we have so we can have the health we desire! Listen in!

Bonus Replay Interview with Jeff Brabant
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 school, family, and work. It wasn’t just baseball. He treated the players like humans, like family, and he loved them like his own. I felt that when I met him, and I saw that when Dylan played for him. We dive into acknowledging others' contributions to your life and your success. He said in a Facebook post, "A clock is worthless without its second hand." Listen in as we dig into this concept as we apply it to our homes, families, work, and communities!

Welcome to today's podcast! With the celebration of today's episode, number 300, we are reviewing the top episodes of Lifting the Lifter's! First, Managing Weakness with Jason Hunt. In this episode, we talk about our weaknesses and how we typically handle them, with coping strategies and mechanisms. All in an effort to avoid uncomfortable emotion. We use the ACE acronym, acknowledge, connect, and engage, to help us when we are in that unhealthy place to move forward and upward. We also discuss avoiding idle time and using deliberate actions to help us maintain a path of growth and progression. The second-highest podcast is an interview I did way back in the beginning with Jeff Brabant. I did this interview and then also did a replay because it is so good. 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.” This episode was full of nuggets of wisdom for us all! Third top episode: Interview with my brother-in-law and sister about his battle with cancer. It was raw and real. Luke was diagnosed with lung cancer that shocked us all. He has never smoked and has been a healthy, rough-and-tough hunter and dad his whole life. The interview with him and my sister was full of tenderness, love, miracles, and hope. If you or a loved one is struggling right now with a diagnosis, this one is good. Henry Ford said: “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.” Aging is a journey of accumulating wisdom and new experiences, not just years, allowing us to become more authentic versions of ourselves. Keep learning and growing!

Your Reactions Are Trying to Protect You
Have you ever noticed how fast you react sometimes, before you even have a chance to think? Recently, I had an allergic reaction to some jewelry, and it turned into the perfect reminder of how our bodies (and our nervous systems) are always trying to protect us. In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between reacting and responding, why our brains go into autopilot under stress, and why your reactions aren’t a personal failure; they’re learned survival habits. I’m sharing this in a very real, very human way, and we’ll explore what to do when you don’t actually like how you show up in those moments. We’ll talk about how to create a little space between the trigger and your response, how to get curious instead of critical with yourself, and how small, simple pauses can start to change the way you move through your relationships and your life. If you’ve ever thought, “Why do I keep reacting like this?” this episode is for you!

Space for Growth
In this episode, I share my word for the year: Space. We discuss why it’s become one of the most important shifts I hope to make for my nervous system, my relationships, and my emotional health. Drawing on Viktor Frankl’s quote, “Between stimulus and response there is a space,” we explore how most of us are living without that pause, and how that lack of space shows up as burnout, anxiety, people-pleasing, emotional reactivity, and chronic overwhelm. You’ll learn: How living in constant hurry rewires your nervous system Why your reactions aren’t personality flaws, they’re survival responses A powerful visual metaphor for understanding your emotional triggers Four simple ways to create more space in your daily life How intentional pauses lead to growth, freedom, and better relationships If you want to stop rushing past your life and start responding with clarity and self-trust, this episode will help you begin!

What is the Condition of Your Heart?
In this episode, we explore the condition of our hearts! Is it hard, soft, moldable, or rigid and unflexible? We discuss the condition of our hearts and see how they are connected to our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual selves. The heart is more than a pump; it’s a regulator and communicator, influencing how the body responds to stress, safety, and recovery. We will discuss how assessing the condition of our hearts can be an amazing indicator of where we can make some adjustments. We will use the terms: Listen to your heart. Look for hearts. And live from your heart to navigate our course and help us along our way! This episode is an invitation to compassion, not a correction, to understand how protection can turn into rigidity and how softness and strength can coexist. Because a whole heart isn’t a perfect heart, it’s a responsive one.

Who's Voice Are You Listening To This Year?
In this bold and empowering New Year episode, we explore the questions that quietly shapes every goal, decision, and direction in your life: Who are you telling yourself you are? And Who's voice are you listening to? President Nelson reminds us that the way we think about our identity influences almost every decision we will ever make. So before we rush into new plans and resolutions, we are going to take time to anchor into truth, identity, and divine worth. We talk about: • why identity determines direction • who and what you’re listening to and how those inputs shape your confidence • how the adversary targets identity through subtle thoughts • the “Hall of Mirrors” effect and why other people’s perceptions cannot define you • choosing self-love rooted in eternal truth, not comparison or pressure You’ll leave this episode feeling clearer, stronger, and grounded in who you truly are: a child of God with purpose, power, and divine potential. Plus, I give you two simple but powerful challenges to help you step into this year confident and aligned with truth.

The Fourth Inning

The Fourth Inning
My husband Jarred and I were walking into a funeral one day this fall, and he said, "I feel like this is the fourth inning." "What do you mean?" I asked. He said, "I feel like it's the middle of a baseball game and there's a lot of game left and you just want to know if it's going to be OK. If we are going to win?" I have thought about this often. We are all playing a metaphorical baseball game of life, and we are in the middle of the fourth inning, wondering what the outcome will be. This year, as I reflected on our family life, the ups and downs. The joys and disappointments. The mundane and the exciting, I am reminded how we're all in the middle of our fourth inning. Will we win? Will be ahead? What will go on between the fourth and the ninth? Listen to today's podcast where I give a little year-end summary of our family, and we talk about how we can be sure that we will win! We will all be OK thanks to our Savior, Jesus Christ!
