Description

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?
If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not crazy. You’re not broken. And you’re not alone.
Welcome to The Single LDS Woman—a podcast for women like you who are navigating the complicated, often painful reality of being single in a family-focused church.
In this podcast, you’ll find:
✨ Real talk for LDS singles
✨ Faith-based life coaching grounded in LDS doctrine
✨ Mindset tools that actually work (no toxic positivity here)
✨ Honest conversations about chastity, loneliness, worthiness, and eternal marriage
I’m Sharon Lamar—a certified life coach and faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I didn’t get married until I was 52.
I know the questions that keep you up at night.
I’ve lived the waiting, the wondering, and the quiet heartbreak.
But I also discovered something life-changing:
You can stop waiting to be happy and still be faithful.
You can build a life you love—even while hoping for something more.
And most of all, you can trust God and trust yourself again.
💡 In this podcast, I’ll teach you how—with proven faith-based tips and tools, self-coaching strategies, and a reminder of who you really are.
Whether you’re never married, divorced, widowed—or not even LDS but still feeling all of this—this podcast is for you.
Because this isn’t just about your relationship status.
It’s about reclaiming your self-confidence, living happy now even while wanting more, and remembering your worth.
So… grab your Diet Coke 😉, pop in your earbuds, and let’s talk.
Friend to friend. Sister to sister.

Are you trying—really trying—but still feel stuck? You’re putting in effort. You care. You’re doing your best. And yet… something isn’t moving. In today’s episode, we’re talking about why trying harder isn’t always the answer—and how expecting perfection might actually be the thing keeping you stuck. We’ll explore what progress really looks like, why being kind to yourself matters more than you think, and how letting go of perfection opens the door to real movement. If you’ve ever wondered why effort alone isn’t getting you where you want to go, this conversation is for you.

Your problem isn’t motivation or discipline — even if it feels that way. In this episode, we’re talking about what’s really going on when you keep giving up on yourself, feel frustrated with your progress, or quietly wonder why growth seems so hard. We explore why self-criticism doesn’t create change, how the opinion you have of yourself shapes your behavior, and what it looks like to practice charity toward yourself — not just toward others. Drawing from scripture and lived experience, we focus on three often-misunderstood attributes of charity: suffering long, enduring, and bearing — and how learning to apply them inward can change the way you grow, heal, and keep going. This episode is an invitation to stop fighting yourself and start learning how to stay with yourself instead. I’d truly love to hear from you. 📬 If this episode spoke to you, feel free to email me at sharon@sharonlamarcoaching.com. Hope this episode inspires you or makes you think.  
What if the frustration you feel in your life isn’t because you’re doing something wrong—but because you don’t yet understand how change actually works? In this episode, I’m teaching you how vision, commitment, and daily choices work together to help you become who you’re meant to be. We’ll talk about why growth feels uncomfortable, how to stop making your humanness mean you’re failing, and why peace in your life doesn’t come after the result—it comes while you’re creating it. If you’ve been trying hard and still feeling stuck, this conversation will change how you see yourself, your efforts, and what’s actually possible for you. WHAT’S NEXT?

Let me ask you something.  When things don’t go the way you hoped… a relationship is strained…a door doesn’t open…or life just feels heavier than it should… What do you make it mean about you? Because most of the pain women carry isn’t coming from their circumstances. It’s coming from the story they’re telling themselves about who they are because of what’s happening or not happening. And today, we’re going to talk about identity — how it’s actually formed, how it quietly shapes your life, and how you can start choosing it on purpose. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why am I so hard on myself?” or “Why do I keep holding back even when I want more?” This episode is for you.  Let’s dive in. WHAT’S NEXT?

Ever try to feel your feelings… and realize you don’t even know where to start?

Ever wonder why you quit chasing your dreams, or why your goals always seem to stall out? It’s not because you lack motivation. It’s not because you’re incapable, or that you missed your moment. The real reason we stop pursuing the life we want is because we don’t want to feel the emotions that come with growth — the uncomfortable, awkward, uncertain emotions. And here’s the part most of us don’t see: feeling emotions isn’t a problem. Avoiding them is. Today, we’re going to talk about what it actually looks like to feel any feeling and still move forward. Because when you can handle the emotions that come with pursuing your goals, there is nothing you can’t create. WHAT’S NEXT?

If commitment feels awkward or uncomfortable right now, nothing has gone wrong—you’re actually right where growth begins. In this quick bonus episode, we’ll talk about why discomfort is the first sign you’re moving from “interested” to truly committed, how to recognize the mindset shift that gets you unstuck, and why this stage of uneasiness is completely normal in the personal growth process.

Are you feeling stuck, running on autopilot, or wondering if there’s more to your life than managing responsibilities and doing what’s expected of you? In today’s powerful episode, we kick off Step One of the Six Months from Now Movement — and it all starts with something you may have forgotten how to do: ✨ Dreaming again. Inside this episode, you’ll learn: Why so many women lose touch with their desires How cultural expectations (and fear of disappointment) quietly shut down your dreams The difference between managing your life and creating it Why your God-given desires are actually spiritual guidance A simple, life-changing exercise to uncover what you really want How dreaming strengthens your self-confidence and reconnects you to your divine identity I’ll also share the personal story of how I lost my own ability to dream after marriage—how I slipped into “good wife” mode and stopped creating my life—and how Heavenly Father lovingly nudged me back into growth, possibility, and purpose. That nudge eventually led me to coaching, to launching this podcast, and ultimately… to you. If you’re ready to feel alive again… ready to stop settling… ready to step into the next version of yourself… this episode is your starting point. ✨ This is the first step to changing your life.  This is where your future begins.

Are you using old failures, heartbreaks, or missed opportunities as proof that your future can’t be different? Do you catch yourself saying things like, “I’ve tried before and it didn’t work… so why bother?” or “If I couldn’t make it happen then, I probably can’t now.” You’re not alone. So many single LDS women quietly let their past set the limits for what’s possible next — without realizing the only place the past even exists is in our thoughts. In this episode, we’ll talk about why your past does not get the final say, how to stop replaying the same painful story, and what it really means to become future-focused — full of hope, creativity, and possibility again.

Do you have a goal you keep wishing for…but it’s still just a wish? In this episode, I’m sharing something that’s been on my heart since President Russell M. Nelson’s passing last week — one of his powerful teachings: “You don’t wish for a blessing; you work for a blessing and you make it possible.” We’ll look at the story of Limhi’s people in the Book of Mormon, talk honestly about why we get stuck (hello, self-doubt 👋), and I’ll walk you through three practical strategies to move from wishing to working so your goal can finally become your reality. If you’re ready to stop wishing and start achieving your goals, this one’s for you. 💪✨ WHAT’S NEXT?
