Episode Summary

Have you ever felt like life suddenly hit pause and left you wondering what's next? In this episode of Sunshine in the Middle, I share a story from Paris where a random stoplight reminded me that sometimes God's delays are really His protection.

I open up about some of the hardest seasons of my life—divorce, infertility, loss, NICU challenges, and the unexpected trials of 2020—and how learning to trust God's timing has helped me find peace and joy, even when heaven felt silent.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How God uses "red lights" to protect and prepare us

• Why joy and trust go hand in hand

• Scriptures and quotes from prophets and apostles that anchor me in faith

• How trusting Him, even when I don't understand, has made my life richer

If you've ever felt stuck at a stoplight in life, I hope this conversation encourages you to lean into trust and see how God is working in your favor—even in the waiting.

Episode Summary:

Have you ever felt like heaven was quiet? I have too.

In this episode of Sunshine in the Middle, I open up about what it means to make room for personal revelation—especially in a world that constantly pulls at our time and attention. From a playroom full of toys to a kitchen chair where I work and study, I’ve learned that any space can become holy when we dedicate it to connecting with God.

I talk about how the Spirit led me to study spiritual gifts for an entire year, how laundry time became sacred for a friend, and how acting on even the smallest promptings can change everything. I also share quotes from President Nelson and other leaders that inspire me to stay faithful, especially when answers don’t come right away.

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin or unsure how to receive divine direction, I hope this episode helps you pause, reflect, and ask:
Where can I find God in my life right now?

In today's episode of Sunshine in the Middle, I share a deeply personal story that taught me a powerful lesson about the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

When I was serving as a Young Women's president, we planned a camp hike that turned into a sacred, unforgettable experience centered on Christ's ability to carry our burdens. I'll walk you through how a simple idea with rocks turned into a powerful, spirit-filled lesson—and how it ultimately changed me.

Along the way, I'll share scriptures that have anchored me, moments when I pleaded for help, and the tender mercies I received that reminded me He truly carries us.

This isn't just a story, it's my testimony—one I hope will help you see the Savior in your life, too.

Thanks for listening! I'm truly honored.
