Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.I am finally hiking the Rim to Rim trail of the Grand Canyon. A 24 mile 6,000 ft elevation change hike in one day. I have been preparing for months and luckily I am taking my brothers and their spouses along with me so the prep work has been fun and encouraging.If you go back and listen to these episodes, you will see that I was inspired by an amazing woman Abi Ayres that I interviewed to do this hike. When I was listening to her tell her story of the hike I clearly heard the Spirit tell me I had to do this hike.Then, as I was questioning the Spirit why I needed to do such a thing, the Spirit told me this was not a physical goal, this is a spiritual goal.Listen to today’s episode as I share more of what I am learning in my journey and download the worksheet to apply those same lessons to your life!Download today’s worksheet to track your progress.https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/episode-59Episode 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.

Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.Unfortunately, many people hold the idea that all hardships and trials we face are a result of sin. But that does not align with the Savior’s teachings. He taught, in John 9:3, “Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.”If we go about trying to prevent those inevitables from happening we will feel even more pain, stress, disappointment, fear, failure, and not good enough. It’s not about just sitting aside and saying ok then, I will just let bad things happen and do nothing.It’s about fortifying yourself for the future, preparing for those times to happen and what you will do.In this week’s episode I discuss specific steps we can actually take to fortify ourselves.My Spiritual Survival Course will help you implement those steps into your daily life.

Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.God has often introduced Jesus Christ as His Son accompanied by the phrase, “Hear Him.” This charge to follow the Savior and hear Him in our lives is one of great importance.It can also feel overwhelming at times.These are moments when I remember the teaching from the Book of Mormon, “by small and simple things are great things brought to pass.”Dieter F. Uchtdorf also teaches this, “Isn’t it interesting how small, seemingly insignificant factors can make a major difference in our lives? Most of the changes in our spiritual lives—both positive and negative—happen gradually, a step at a time.” Let’s dive into that and find ways we can make small changes in our lives that will help us “hear Him” more.Join the FREE 5-Days to Hear Him Challengehttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/hearhimGet your Mother’s Day Prayer Journal’s Herehttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/Prayer-JournalCheck out the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints resources on “Hearing Him”https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/collection/hear-him-featured?lang=engCheck 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.“Sometimes more is just more. Sometimes the solution is just less. That is going to get you further in life.”  ~ AmberOn this week’s episode I welcome my first guest Amber Brueseke. I have been on her podcast twice before and today feels like catching up with an old friend!Fitness, business, and family. Amber does it all! She lives a busy go and do lifestyle and today she is teaching us that sometimes taking a break is actually what you need.She also explains today how we are all spiritual beings all of the time and that all aspects of our lives “bleed into one another.” Physically, mentally and spiritually we are divine beings who should recognize our identity as daughters of God in all areas of our lives.Listen in today and learn how we can actually accomplish more by doing less!Like this episode?

Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.INVESTMENT: Expend with the expectation of a profit in return.That sounds amazing right? Well it applies spiritually as well!You put in effort, time and even money to gain MORE. More calm. More knowledge. More PEACE in your everyday life regardless of your situation. Russell M Nelson has said that, “If we don’t invest in our ability to receive revelation we won’t survive spiritually in the coming days.”So listen into today as I help you recognize the thoughts we all have that prevent us from investing in ourselves spiritually.And please leave a review to help other women see how they too can combat those thoughts and invest in themselves. Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Check out these videos for even more spiritual insight.~Episode 44: How Your Internal Battles Block Revelationhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/episode%2044~Episode 42: Being a Receiver of the Gospel, not a Doerhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/episode-42Grab your Skill Tap Band HEREwww.LDSMHco.com Fortify Your Mental Health FREE Mini Coursehttps://www.ldsmentalhealthco.com/FortifyRegistration
