Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.President Nelson has said, “Our Father knows that when we are surrounded by uncertainty and fear, what will help us the very most is to hear His Son.”We are most definitely surrounded by uncertainty and fear these days so hearing Him becomes even more vital. However, Hearing Him can be difficult even if you are actively trying to increase that ability. Usually by doing more.As a mental health therapist, I have noticed three different reasons why women struggle to hear Him in their lives. None of them mean we need to do more.So listen in to Episode 69 of the Meaningful Minutes Podcast for those reasons and how to combat them.Join the FREE 5-Days to “Hear Him” Challenge https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/hearhimFREE Mini Course: Creating A Consistent Spiritual Routine https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/creating-a-consistent-spiritual-routine-registrationYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 61. 3 Ingredients to Spiritual Survivalhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/61Episode 47: Transcending Self Deceptionhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/Episode%2047 Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Grab your Skill Tap Band HEREwww.LDSMHco.com Fortify Your Mental Health FREE Mini Coursehttps://www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/FortifyRegistration

Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.I was invited to join Laura Cragun on her podcast, Latter Day Intuitive Eating. She believes women hold incredible power in their thoughts and knowing who they are on the inside will reflect who they are on the outside and the light they can shine.Today I am sharing that episode with you. Laura asked me to share a little about myself and why I do what I do. We also discussed the natural man, feeling broken, and how connecting to the Godhead will help us overcome it all. Join the waitlist for the Removing Roadblocks to Revelation Group Coaching programhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/removing-roadblocks-to-revelationFREE Mini Course: Creating A Consistent Spiritual Routine https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/creating-a-consistent-spiritual-routine-registrationYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 44: How Your Internal Battles Block Revelationhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/episode%2044 Episode 38: The Power of a Relationship with Each Member of the Godheadhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/38 Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Grab your Skill Tap Band HEREwww.LDSMHco.com Fortify Your Mental Health FREE Mini Coursehttps://www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/FortifyRegistration

Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.Women want to help their loved ones. So much so that they often feel overwhelmed, anxious, inadequate, drained, and fearful as they try to do that. They try to take it all on and fix everything for those they love. There is certainly nothing wrong with wanting to do that but we as humans cannot do it alone. It is not possible for us to fix everything for others but there is one thing that has helped me, especially as a therapist, to help others.Today I am sharing that instrument with you and how you too can apply it as you strive to love and serve those around you.Join the waitlist for the Removing Roadblocks to Revelation Group Coaching programhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/removing-roadblocks-to-revelationFREE Mini Course: Creating A Consistent Spiritual Routine https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/creating-a-consistent-spiritual-routine-registrationYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 65: Accessing Mental and Physical Strength Beyond Your Ownhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/65 Episode 44: How Your Internal Battles Block Revelationhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/episode%2044 Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Grab your Skill Tap Band HEREwww.LDSMHco.com Fortify Your Mental Health FREE Mini Coursehttps://www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/FortifyRegistration

Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.Making decisions in your life can often feel anxiety-provoking, confusing, or overwhelming. Even small ones can sometimes make you feel that way.Making decisions is interesting because we aren’t always faced with a clear good option and bad option. Sometimes we are faced with all good options or all bad options then we can really be confused right?This can cause you to feel fearful about making the wrong decision. I see this often with the women I work with.Which makes sense, you don’t want to be out there purposefully making the wrong decision.But there is a principle at play here that makes certainty not an option. That principle is faith.President Oak’s talk: Our Strengths Can Become Our Downfall https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/1994/10/our-strengths-can-become-our-downfall?lang=eng&id=title5%2Cp16%2Cp17Join the waitlist for the Removing Roadblocks to Revelation Group Coaching programhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/removing-roadblocks-to-revelationFREE Mini Course: Creating A Consistent Spiritual Routine https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/creating-a-consistent-spiritual-routine-registrationYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 35: The Art of Aligning Your Will with God Through PrayerEpisode 28.

Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.I did it! I hiked the Grand Canyon. Rim to Rim in ONE day. I have shared in past episodes the spiritual lessons I was learning as I prepared myself physically for the hike and now I am sharing about the hike itself.I am not an avid hiker so this was definitely out of my comfort zone and it was so worth it.We left earlier than planned, the trail was different than what we had expected, and there was an excessive heat warning. Not everything went as planned but the adventure was fun, I learned a lot, and pushed myself to do something I had never done before.Watch this episode on YOUTUBE to see all the pictures and videos!https://youtu.be/c-BLZCPtb9k FREE Mini Course: Creating A Consistent Spiritual Routine https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/creating-a-consistent-spiritual-routine-registrationEnjoy these other episodes from my Grand Canyon preparation!Episode 45: Rim to Rim, My Spiritual Experience Part 1https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/episode%2045 Episode 52: Rim to Rim, a Spiritual Experience Part 2.
