What do you do when you simply don’t feel strong enough for what you’re facing?

In this episode, I share how financial stress, rental-property problems, and a very opinionated Norwegian inner critic led me back to Alma 31:31–38 and Alma’s prayer for strength.

Using the C-A-L-M Method, we’ll look at how faith, wise thinking, and one inspired next step can help us face problems we cannot immediately fix.

Struggling with a child who's always on a screen? You don't need a Counseling degree — you need C.A.L.M.

In this video, we dive into Words of Mormon 1:18 and pull out a simple, scripture-rooted framework any parent can use when gaming or social media has taken over their child's life. After 30 years of clinical counseling experience, I've distilled it down to four steps:

C – Concerns
A – AI-assisted facts and logic
L – Lord
M – My next step

No advanced degree required — just a willingness to sit down with your child, lean on this scripture, and walk through four steps that actually work. Whether your son is glued to a controller or your daughter can't put her phone down, CALM gives you a practical, faith-centered starting point.

You don't need a master's degree in counseling psychology to comfort, guide, and inspire.

In this series, I share the best of my 30 years of professional counseling experience, distilled into simple steps you can actually use.

You'll learn how to listen with compassion, use AI carefully as a research assistant, and find one powerful scripture that can become a lifeline for someone you love — something you can keep "in your back pocket" for the difficult moments.

Most importantly, these scriptures will help you comfort those who stand in need of comfort and help ease heavy burdens.

This series is about becoming more like our Savior Jesus Christ, the most wonderful Counselor of all.
