Our goal as parents is to raise children that can go out into the world and be successful, independent, and self-sufficient adults. But in order for this to happen, parents need to allow their children to learn the vital skill of self-advocating when they are still living at home. Coach Daelene Byam is on the podcast talking about how parents can teach their children to advocate for themselves by learning how to manage their emotions as well as deal well with failure. Daelene believes the home is where these skills are taught the most effectively as parents allow their children to be independent as well as show them how to be emotionally resilient and how to deal with failure by mirroring it for them. If you have a teen that you feel could use some help learning to self-advocate, be sure to reach out to Daelene and let her guide you in this process.

We live in a world that is fast paced and has rules as to how things should operate and what is and isn’t acceptable. If you are neurotypical you can easily fit into this world, but if you are neurodivergent, fitting in can be difficult. The same holds true for inside the Church. We have certain ways of operating and how we like to do things. Those who are neurodivergent can find this difficult and can often be labeled as being less faithful. Coach Kamden Hainsworth is on the podcast today talking about what it’s like to be neurodivergent by having ADHD in the world and in the Church and how those who are neurodivergent or those who work with them can learn to support them so that they excel in the Church.
Goals are great things to set but all too often we let our goals be another area that we beat ourselves up and think we aren’t good enough because we aren’t accomplishing the goals fast enough or well enough. Coach Amber Winn has come up with a term she calls “Micro Focused Moments” where she helps her clients look for the small wins and accomplishments that are achieved everyday by stopping to recognize them. She feels it’s so important to do this because in the recognition of the daily wins that is when we will reach the overall goal we originally set out to accomplish.
In the last few years have you noticed a large number of LDS women starting their own businesses? Why do you think this has been happening?

Women are pulled in many directions and starting a business can seem daunting. Many women are afraid that they are doing the right thing, that their families will suffer, or that they don’t have what it takes to be successful.
