LDS Mental Health Podcast

You've spent your whole life quietly wondering why some things feel so much harder for you than they seem to for everyone else. Scripture study won't stick. Prayers get lost in fifty other thoughts. You forget things you swore you'd remember, and the shame shows up before you even understand what happened.
This week, therapist Brittney King, LPC joins Niki to talk about what ADHD actually looks like in adults, and why it usually has nothing to do with how hard you're trying. There's a reason your brain works this way, and it's more treatable than you think.

How do you know when a family relationship needs stronger boundaries, more distance or possibly no contact? When family relationships are tied to faith, loyalty, traditions, and belonging, it can be hard to separate Christlike love from the pressure to keep everyone comfortable.

In this first LDS Therapy Insights episode, I am explaining how to look for repeated unhealthy patterns, why a difficult relationship is not automatically a toxic one and the many levels of boundaries available before full cutoff. You’ll also learn why forgiveness does not require unlimited access and how to seek personal revelation from a place of clarity instead of guilt.

If you've been praying and the answer is just...silence, you're not alone. A lot of LDS women are doing everything right on the outside but quietly feeling disconnected from God. And the hardest part? They feel guilty even admitting it. Like maybe if they had more faith, they'd feel something.
In this episode, Niki talks about the real reasons prayer can start to feel difficult and why that disconnect has way less to do with worthiness than most people think. 
Plus: Niki's new 10-day prayer practice to help you start reconnecting through simple, intentional moments.

Have you ever prayed, gone to the temple, or begged Heavenly Father for help and felt absolutely nothing? No peace, no comfort, no emotional reassurance. And then immediately wondered what's wrong with you spiritually? In LDS culture we talk a lot about "feeling the Spirit" and those experiences are real. But many of us have accidentally started believing that emotional feelings are the only evidence the Spirit is present.
In this episode, Niki unpacks the many ways the Spirit actually works, especially for women who are emotionally overwhelmed, numb, burned out, or grieving. Grab the free companion reflection guide linked below to use alongside this episode.

Some experiences just stick. No matter how much time passes, or how hard you try to move on, they keep showing up in how you feel about yourself, your relationships, even your ability to hear God. And the frustrating part? You can't just decide to be over it.

In this episode, Niki sits down with therapist Allie Allen LCMHC to unpack why painful memories get stored wrong, how anxiety makes it nearly impossible to tell the difference between worry and a prompting, and the therapy tool that has people saying, "It doesn't bother me anymore."
