On this week's episode, I sit down with Kristen Walker Smith to discuss:

• Kristen's journey through mental illness and how she found hope through her patriarchal blessing
• The power of speaking to yourself the way God speaks about you
• How to recognize and combat Satan's attempts to keep us "playing small"
• Practical ways to reconnect with your divine identity as a child of God
• Why sharing our struggles and weaknesses can actually expand our circle and ability to help others
• The importance of taking action on revelation, even when it's hard

Kristen shares her raw, honest story of struggling with severe OCD and how she went from hating herself to reclaiming her divine identity. We discuss the lies Satan tells us to keep us feeling worthless and small, and how to combat those with God's truth.

If you've ever felt lost, worthless, or unsure of who you really are, this episode will remind you of your infinite worth and potential as a child of God. Kristen's story is a powerful testament to how connecting with our divine identity can give us the strength to overcome even our darkest moments.

Key Takeaways:

• Your patriarchal blessing contains powerful truths about who you are to God
• Speaking God's words about yourself, even when you don't believe them yet, can change your life
• Satan wants to keep us playing small, but God has big plans for each of us

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Brooke Romney, a writer and parenting expert who focuses on helping parents navigate the teenage years with confidence and grace. Brooke shares her journey from blogging about family activities to becoming a go-to resource for parents of teens, offering invaluable insights on building confidence, fostering independence, and maintaining strong relationships with our children as they grow.

Key Takeaways:

1. Evolution of purpose: Brooke's path from writing about family activities to addressing the unique challenges of parenting teens demonstrates how our callings can evolve over time.
2. Confidence through action: True confidence comes from doing hard things and overcoming challenges, not from constant praise or shielding from difficulties.
3. Empowering vs. rescuing: Parents should focus on empowering their children to handle challenges rather than always trying to rescue them from discomfort.
4. Character-based compliments: Praise children for their character traits and efforts rather than just outcomes or innate abilities.
5. Intentional parenting decisions: Make choices based on love and empowerment rather than fear and guilt.
6. Social skills as learned abilities: Recognize that social confidence and skills can be developed with practice and guidance.
7. Modeling growth mindset: Show children how to receive feedback and grow from challenges by doing so yourself.

Actionable Tips:

1. Encourage your teens to do things that feel hard, allowing them to build competence and confidence.
2. When giving compliments, focus on internal qualities and character traits rather than just external achievements.
3. Create opportunities for your children to contribute meaningfully at home and in their communities.
4. Practice taking feedback gracefully and model how to grow from constructive criticism.
5. When making parenting decisions, ask yourself if you're acting out of fear and guilt or love and empowerment.
6. Help your children develop social skills and manners to increase their confidence in various situations.
7. Allow your children to experience natural consequences and learn from their mistakes instead of always rescuing them.

Remember, building confidence in our teens starts with cultivating our own unshakable confidence as parents. By focusing on character development, providing opportunities for growth, and maintaining open communication, we can help our children navigate the challenging teen years with resilience and self-assurance.
