You’re doing everything right—but still single. You’ve prayed. Stayed faithful. Attended BYU. And yet… no husband. No temple sealing. No timeline that makes sense. You sit in church surrounded by couples and families, wondering where you fit—and if you even matter. You’ve heard the talks. You strive to keep the commandments. Tried to stay hopeful. But deep down, you can’t shake the ache: 🌀 Did I miss my chance? 🌀 Am I broken—or worse, forgotten? 🌀 What does this mean for my exaltation… and about my worth?

Hey my gorgeous friend,
Are you already feeling disappointed rather than excited at the thought of going out on one more first date? Are you beginning to believe it is less painful to just stay with the feeling of loneliness rather than trying again?
Is it hard to keep the promise you made yourself when you joined that dating app to spend 30 minutes each evening engaging with your matches? You find you would just about do anything other than what you promised you would do.
Or, has the whole idea of trying to find a companion become too painful to even try. You are sure that you aren’t attractive enough, smart enough, thin enough so why even try.
Listen my love, there is a better way, a less painful way to create the life you desire. All that is required is self-confidence. You don’t have it now, that is why you are ready to give up or have already given up.
In this episode I share with you the 3 aspects of self-confidence that are required for you to create the life you want. The truth is you have been trying for a long time to create that life and have not been successful. When you develop self-confidence, the way I teach it, you will have exactly what you need!
Let’s jump in. Grab that diet coke, put in your ear buds and let’s talk friend to friend.

Hello my friend!
When you dream about the life that you want to be living, the first thought that comes to mind is probably “I don’t know how to get there!”
And that my friend, is a normal thought to have. All throughout your life, when faced with something new, your brain automatically wants to know the “how”, the “way”, the “method” or “steps” of how to do the new thing.
And when it comes to living the romantic life you imagine, you think you should innately know how to get there. That somehow, it is just supposed to happen. I mean, come on, it is happening so easily for all the other women around you. Why isn’t it just happening for you? It isn’t happening because you don’t know the way for it to happen!
Well, my gorgeous friend that is what we are going to dig into today. I am going to teach you the two ways that are required for you to get what you want.
Let’s jump in. Grab that diet coke, put in your ear buds and let’s talk friend to friend.

Hello my friend!
Are you waking up more often than not in a bad mood? Your eyes pop open and already you feel the worry, doubt, confusion, anxiety, overwhelm, loneliness, sadness and anger settle in to your day and you haven’t even gotten out of bed.
What the heck! Another bad day and you haven’t even had your first diet coke.
But then why would this day be any different than yesterday, nothing has changed you are single still and it seems as if that will never change.
You want it to change, but it hasn’t and you are believing it never will. So, here you are living one bad day after another. Praying it will change. Hoping it will change. Maybe if you pray harder or hope more fervently it will change.
Listen friend I want you to keep praying and hoping AND God and I also want you to exercise your agency to do all that is in your power to get what you want…including a better attitude.
In this episode I will share with you why you have a bad attitude and the best way to start improving that attitude. So, grab a notebook and pen and get ready to wake up with a good attitude.
Let’s jump in. Grab that diet coke, put in your ear buds and let’s talk friend to friend.

Hello my friend!
It’s Saturday morning and you look at your list of things to do and think to yourself, “I don’t want to do any of that!”
Ever done that? Decided to do something and then not do it?
And then Saturday evening, you are wondering what the heck happened! How is it that you keep falling into this pattern of deciding to do something and then not doing it!
Well, my friend, first off, know that you are not alone. We all struggle with this pattern. And there are two reasons why we often don’t do what we promised ourself we would do.
In this episode I unpack those two reasons by teaching you the main reason you don’t do what you said you would do and the second reason is about a part of your brain that you may be surprised even exists!

Are you beginning to wonder if the reason you are single is because you are too picky?
It is serious business deciding which man to marry and you don’t want to make a mistake and find yourself married to the wrong guy.

You want what you want and being picky is a small price to pay to get it. Or, is it?
In today’s episode we are going to ask and answer the question, are you being too picky?
Let’s jump in. Grab that diet coke, put in your ear buds and let’s talk friend to friend.

Hello my friend!
Have you just about had enough and are ready to give up on the goal you set at the beginning of the year?
Or have you already given up?
It seems that there is one problem after another that gets in your way. No matter how hard you try, there seems to be something in the way.
So, you think your goal isn’t worth it. You will stay right where you are. Life is fine as it is. No need to dream big and then face disappointment.
Friend, if this sounds like you, I get it. I invite you to lean in as I share my own struggle trying to realize a goal and the problems, I discovered that are in the way. I will not only share the problems but the solutions too.
While you goal will be different than mine, your problems and the solutions are the same.
So, let’s jump in. Grab that diet coke, put in your ear buds and let’s talk friend to friend.
