Shining Moment #16: Amber Pearce

Hey mama,  This week, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Amber Dawn Pearce—a woman whose life story is as powerful as her testimony. Raised off-grid by convert hippie parents who joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Amber grew up in a family of 15, with 8 adopted siblings and a home that had dirt floors and no electricity or plumbing. Her childhood was anything but ordinary—and so is her perspective on faith, resilience, and divine purpose. ✨ In this episode, Amber shares: Her unique upbringing and what it taught her about love, connection, and seeing others through Christ’s eyes How her testimony and love for the scriptures started small (just “checking the box”) but blossomed into a deep, personal study that fuels her life The incredible shift she experienced after taking President Nelson’s plea to seek for and increase personal revelation—and how it’s accelerated her spiritual growth Her journey through debilitating insomnia, migraines, and vertigo, and how opposition became the very thing that deepened her relationship with God What it really means to fill the measure of your creation, and how we can trust God’s timing even when it doesn’t match our own Amber also introduced us to a beautiful new word: compersion—the opposite of jealousy. Imagine celebrating others' joy as if it were your own. What if we all lived like that? 🔗 Connect with Amber: Podcast: Hope Smiling Brightly with Amber Dawn Pearce Instagram: @amberdawnpearce Change Your Questions, Change Your Life by Wendy Watson Nelson 🎁 Bonus: Want to feel confident in making choices that are best for YOU and YOUR own family's circumstance?
