Mothers Who Know

This is the first of a 3-part webinar series--"Stay by the Tree--Messages of Hope" with special guest presenter Shelly Jorgensen. Shelly talks about growing up in an abusive household, having her mother murdered by her father, having to testify at his trial, finding the gospel, being visited by her mother's spirit, getting a debilitating disease and being healed with a priesthood blessing and other trials she has faced in her life. She teaches listeners that with the Atonement you can overcome anything and face the trials God puts in your path. It is only through adversity that we learn and God is able to teach us. Join Karen Broadhead, parent support specialist at Life Changing Services as she hosts Shelly and they talk about Shelly's miraculous journey.  To join us for the next 2 weeks, visit https://staybythetree.org or for our Mom Power Training class go to https://mompowertraining.org

This special episode features Life Changing Services Director Maurice Harker, CMHC.  Maurice talks specifically to mothers encouraging them to understand that their identity is not, and should not, be connected to others and what to they do or don't do. He teaches moms not to measure their worth by others and their actions, but to find divine acceptance and peace. He uses the examples of Eve and Sariah and asks--were they good mothers? Not all of their children made the best choices, did that diminish their worth or mean they did not teach their children? Listen as Maurice teaches a very important lesson on how mothers should value themselves and understand their divine worth.

Warrior Chemistry is the power God has give us to overcome fear and deception in our lives. In this podcast, Karen teaches that fear is nothing more than False Evidence Appearing Real and a tactic of the adversary to get us to do things we wouldn't normally do or to fight with our family members. Karen opens up about some of her personal battles and struggles and what she does every day to help overcome them. (Note: this audio was pulled from a video training Karen did so its not the best quality and we apologize. However, we felt the message was important enough to get out to mothers anyway!

In this powerful and uplifting podcast, Karen interviews a special friend and warrior mother--Emily. Emily has faced struggles and trials in her life, but has learned that God can turn even the weakest people into pillars of faith. She has learned that God's timing is always perfect, even if its not exactly the same timing we want. When her son was 16, she felt like they were "that" family as he struggled to overcome a pornography addiction. But through this journey she learned to be grateful for her trials and to throw away her own time clock and rely on God's. Emily talks about her greatest gift, that of being a mother. Yet she realizes that even as her children struggle to find themselves, she can never take away their agency. Her advice to mothers is to never stop loving your children, never stop praying for them, never give up, and trust in God's timing.

Karen talks about how our bodies are a gift from God, and because of that, we have so much power with them. We can use that power to overcome weaknesses, find our true self, serve others, and do good. Instead of focusing on the things we don't like about ourselves, we can ask God to show us how much he loves us, and show us the amazing things and gifts he has given us. You can learn to love yourself, exactly as you are, with the help of the Savior in your life. Your body has power and is divine. What an amazing gift from God.

In this episode Karen Broadhead, Family Life and Wellness Coach, talks about how mothers can talk to their children about sensitive topics and "get over awkward." She talks about the importance of teaching our children that they can talk to us about anything, and that if we aren't the ones teaching our children - who is? She talks about the importance of listening to the Spirit and the promptings we receive and teaching our kids that "God loves you so much, He inspired me to know that something was wrong." We also learn that even if we do things wrong, the Savior is there to help, and it is through His Atonement that all can come back to Him. This is such a powerful episode and one all mothers should listen to - regardless of the age of their children.
