How to Be a Strong Woman Leader

President Russell M. Nelson has asked the women of the Church to rise to their potential and be a strong force for good not only in their homes but also in the Church and in their communities. But far too often women feel like they fall short and don’t have what it takes to be an effective leader. Coach Meg Tilton is on the podcast today to talk about women leadership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and how all women already have leadership qualities, it’s just a matter of recognizing them and using them in their own way to bless the lives of those they lead. Meg is passionate about helping women in the Church rise to their fullest potential and she feels like when women recognize that they are meant to lead in their own way and do the work to discover what that is, they will be able to make the impart President Nelson is calling them to make.

Finding Empathy in the Abortion Debate

Our “Stick With It” series on the Top of Mind podcast continues with a story from one of our listeners, Heidi Thorpe.

Those stories took on new meaning when Thorpe found herself unintentionally pregnant and overwhelmed at the prospect of a fourth child. Finding empathy with those women was uncomfortable for Thorpe, but also led to a profound shift in how she thinks about the issue of abortion and what communities can do to support women facing unexpected – or unwanted – pregnancies.
