Get Ready With God

Ep. 194: The Temptation to be Needed

It feels good to be needed! But things get dangerous when our worth is too closely tied to that. Let's talk it out. 

Ep. 193: You Can't Trick God

But that doesn't stop me from trying! This episode was pre-recorded and because the perfect evidence to the thesis presented because now I am genuinely in a place of gratitude for the things I was battling when I recorded. Look at that! it works! 

Ep. 192: Creating Community When You Don’t Feel Qualified

Today’s episode is a little niche and a lot honest. I’m sharing what’s actually working for me as a Relief Society president — pink soda coolers, “pods” instead of traditional ministering, drive-through interviews, and creating access points for women who don’t always feel like they fit. I’m not an expert. I feel inadequate constantly. But I believe deeply in women, in service, and in building something that feels like relief. If you’re in leadership (or just trying to love people better), this one’s for you.

Ep. 191: Not To Be Dramatic But My Soul is Stirring

Sharing a pattern in my life I have never talked about for and how to trust divine will and ourselves in following it. 

Ep. 190: Try to Change the Day, Not the World.

Today is a quick call to action! So often we worry about how to change the world, but I think that begins with changing the day. Try this! 

Ep. 189: Maybe It’s Not a Parenting Fail

Today I’m gently pushing back on the idea that kids who stay in your faith = success, and kids who leave = failure. As a former wanderer (and current parent of five in the thick of it), I see it differently. What if raising kids who think for themselves, question, and still feel deeply loved is actually the win? Let’s zoom out and rethink what faith “success” really means.

Ep. 188: Respectfully, I Don't Care About Eternity Today

This week I’m asking myself a simple but uncomfortable question: How has my faith actually changed my life? Not in eternity. Not in theory. Today. After a stretch where religion has felt draining and honestly a little pointless, I was reminded why I still choose it. Not because I’m right. Not because I’m certain. But because it makes me better right now. Let’s talk about finding your own reason — and claiming it.

Ep. 187: What If You Just Called Taylor Up?

If you are on a journey to discover your purpose this episode is for you! In this episode I spiral (lovingly) about purpose, platforms, and why the small, awkward, showing-up-for-one-person stuff might matter more than the big shiny dreams we keep chasing. Come process with me.

Ep. 186: Letting My Guard Down

We NEED our differences! Let's talk about how I've been humbled and invited to form new beliefs as I trust that our differences are divine and it can be safe to lean in.

Ep. 185: So What If It’s Bad?

Today I’m talking about why I hate being emotionally managed, why “you’re not ugly, you just need…” makes me want to throw my phone, and why I think faith is strongest when we stop pretending everything is fine. What if we just admit when things are bad? To me, the real miracle isn’t convincing ourselves it’s not. The miracle is being okay even when it is.
