Tune in to this week’s episode to learn more about the interrelated nature of mother and caregiver mental health and children’s mental health, and how we can best help children and families thrive.

Today I am joined by the incomparable Robin Ritch, and extraordinary leader with a wealth of experience in tech and innovation. From the get-go, you will be inspired by Robin’s passion and excitement for life and the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this episode, she shares insights gained from interviewing several dozen Latter-day Saint women who came of age in the ‘60s and ‘70s. She shares their wrestles and how the friction these women experienced shaped their lives and testimonies. Robin also invites women to reflect on how they can bring greater light to the world around them through their own unique gifts and talents, a role she sees as divinely female.

Challenge: This week, ask a Latter-day Saint woman, maybe older than you, about her story. Reflect on what you learn from her experiences.

Resources:

Watch for Robin’s book with lessons from her interviews with Latter-day Saint women later in 2024!

Candace Queathem is a mom of three young children who has made time and space in her life to serve the vulnerable in her community. Candace, who lives in London, England, formally serves as the community outreach specialist for the Hyde Park Stake, but her volunteer efforts began with a simple observation of need during the Afghan refugee crisis and a desire to help. Today, I talk with Candace about the value of education, the critical importance of relationship and trust building in volunteer work, and how centering her life in Christlike service has given her a firm foundation when challenges to her faith have come. She shares some great suggestions for ways women can immediately get involved in serving the needy in their communities, and why we must reach out to help. Ultimately, Candace has learned that advocacy work is the Savior’s work, breaking down man-made barriers and bringing about peace.

Challenge: How can you make your influence more felt in your community? How can you serve in ways that align with your skills and values but also move you outside your comfort zone?
