The Divine Worth Podcast

Motherhood is beautiful — but it can also be overwhelming, messy, and full of moments where your self worth and confidence take a hit. In this special Mother's Day episode, host Karen Papin shares powerful clips from the She Is Known online experience, featuring conversations with Hayley Clarke, Jackie Swainson, and Rachel Rhien Tucker. Together, they explore how God sees you in every hard, beautiful, imperfect moment of motherhood — and why your self worth and confidence are rooted in something far deeper than what you do or don't get done in a day.5 Key Takeaways:Stop "shoulding" yourself. Satan uses shame to destroy your self worth and confidence. Focus on what truly matters — not the world's impossible checklist.You can't hide from God. He sees you fully and loves you completely, in your best moments and your hardest ones.Your identity is daughter of God. That core identity never shifts with seasons, roles, or circumstances — and it is the foundation of true self worth and confidence.Your weaknesses are your potential. They are not evidence of failure. God uses them to build your strength.Trust your intuition. God partners with you to know what each of your children uniquely needs. You are not parenting alone.Resources Mentioned:She Is Known Mother's Day Experience: https://karenpapincoaching.thrivecart.com/sheisknown/Want a daily reminder of your divine self worth and confidence?

Do you ever struggle to feel like you are enough? In this episode, Karen sits down with Abby Harding — wife, mom, Christian author, content creator, and host of the Strive Podcast — to talk about the journey of building genuine self worth and confidence from the inside out. Abby shares her story growing up in Orange County, navigating comparison culture, returning home from a mission, and how her faith helped her rediscover her identity and confidence. This conversation is warm, honest, and packed with truth that will remind you of who you really are.5 Key TakeawaysSelf worth starts early. Children begin questioning their worth as young as age seven, often shaped by what they hear at home. Be mindful of how you talk about yourself around your kids.Knowing yourself builds confidence. When you are clear on who you are — your values, your likes, your opinions — outside comparison loses its power over your self worth.Your worth is not tied to your obedience. As Sister Renlund teaches, your worth is constant and given by God. Nothing you do or don't do can change it.Give yourself grace in transitions. Life changes — like returning from a mission or a spiritual high — can shake your confidence. Rest, process, and be kind to yourself in those seasons.Pray for reminders of God's love. When you actively ask God to show you His love, your eyes open to how He sees you — and that transforms your self worth and confidence from the inside out.Resources MentionedThe Strive Podcast by Abby Harding — wherever you listen to podcastsBorn to Shine: Ignite Your Heavenly Light by Abby Harding — available on AmazonDoctrine & Covenants 25 — Abby's favorite divine worth scripture"Turn On Your Light" — talk by Sister Eubank, 2017Connect with Abby on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook: @_abbyharding_✨ Free Gift for Listeners!

Have you ever felt like you didn't belong anywhere? If you've been struggling with your self-worth and confidence, this episode is for you. In this powerful episode of the Divine Worth Podcast, host and life coach Karen Papin sits down with Phylicia Aquino — the self-proclaimed "sassy saint" — for a raw, emotional, and deeply inspiring conversation about what it truly means to rebuild your self-worth and confidence after hitting rock bottom.Phylicia shares her remarkable journey from a military childhood marked by racial identity struggles, to losing herself in destructive choices, to experiencing a miraculous spiritual awakening that restored her self-worth and confidence completely. Her story is living proof that no matter how far you've fallen, God sees your worth — even when you can't. If you've ever questioned whether you are lovable, enough, or worthy of good things, this conversation will speak directly to your heart and begin to rebuild your confidence from the inside out.5 Key Takeaways:Your self-worth is not determined by where you fit in. Phylicia's struggle with racial identity shook her self-worth and confidence to the core — but God's truth is louder than any label others put on you. He says, "You're not different. You're mine."God never stops pursuing you. No matter how dark the path, your self-worth in God's eyes never changes. He is always reaching out His hand, ready to restore your confidence and call you back home.True love rebuilds your confidence. Real love — from God and from those who care for us — shows up in our worst moments, refuses to let go, and reminds us of our self-worth when we've forgotten it completely.Stillness is where God restores your self-worth. When we quiet the distractions and choose to be still, that's when God can speak truth to our self-worth and confidence and remind us of who we truly are and what we were created for.Your trials are building your confidence, not breaking you. Phylicia wouldn't trade her pain because it shaped her into the woman God always saw — a warrior, a source of joy, and never-ending love. Your struggles are not destroying your self-worth; they are refining it.Favorite Scripture Shared:Doctrine & Covenants 31:5 — "Therefore, thrust in your sickle with all your soul and your sins are forgiven you... for the laborer is worthy of his hire."Connect with Phylicia Aquino:Follow her on Instagram: @sistaaquinoResources & Links:✨ Join the Divine Worth Membership — A community dedicated to helping you grow in self-worth and confidence as you step into the divine role God has for you:👉 https://karenpapincoaching.thrivecart.com/divineworthmembership/📖 Get Your FREE Divine Worth Scripture Cards — Daily scriptures to anchor your self-worth and confidence in God's truth:👉 www.karenpapin.com/scripturecards📓 Divine Worth Journal by Karen Papin — Your daily companion for building self-worth and confidence through scripture and reflection.

What does it truly mean to be strong? In this powerful episode of the Divine Worth Podcast, host and life coach Karen Papin sits down with artist, athlete, and speaker Jenedy Paige — known as the "Art Ninja" — for a deeply moving conversation about self worth and confidence, faith, and discovering what you're truly capable of when you trust God's plan for your life.Jenedy shares her remarkable journey from a teenager with zero art training to a celebrated oil painter, and from a complete beginner to a six-time American Ninja Warrior competitor. But beyond the physical feats, this episode dives into the heart of true inner strength — the kind rooted in knowing your identity as a daughter of God. Whether she's talking about grieving the loss of her young son, learning to paint through divine inspiration, or hosting an empowering event for 500 women, Jenedy's story is a testament to what happens when we stop telling ourselves what we can't do and start letting God show us what we can.If you've ever struggled with self worth and confidence, doubted a prompting from God, or wondered if He really sees you in your pain — this episode is for you.5 Key Takeaways:God's belief in you shows up in what He asks you to do. Jenedy shares how God's persistent promptings — like applying to American Ninja Warrior with zero experience — are actually evidence of His belief in our potential. When we feel resistance to a good thing, that's often a signal it's coming from Him. True self worth and confidence grow when we say yes to those uncomfortable callings.Obedience is about becoming, not just doing. After years of competing and never being aired on TV, Jenedy learned that God wasn't interested in a marketing campaign — He was transforming her into a stronger, more faithful person. The task was never the point; becoming was. This reframe is foundational to building lasting self worth and confidence.Take action to show your faith. Jenedy's advice for overcoming fear of a God-given prompting is simple: take the first step. Sign up. Book the appointment. You don't need the whole plan — just enough faith to move your feet. Each action builds momentum and reinforces your self worth and confidence along the way.Strength means knowing who you are. When asked what it means to be strong, Jenedy's answer cuts right to the core: strength is knowing you are a child of God. That identity is the foundation of all self worth and confidence — and it looks different for every person. Strength isn't one-size-fits-all; it's personal, divine, and expansive.Journaling bridges prayer and scripture into real transformation. Jenedy emphasizes that writing is just as vital as prayer and scripture study. Journaling helps you identify what to pray about, record how God shows up, and synthesize spiritual experiences into lasting testimony — especially in the dark seasons when you need to remember His faithfulness most.Resources Mentioned:Jenedy Paige's website: jenedypaige.comInstagram: @JenedyPaigeStrong Women Experience: strongwomenexperience.comOnline painting classes: Patreon (search Jenedy Paige)Scripture referenced: Helaman 5:12 — the foundation on the rock of the RedeemerScripture referenced: Matthew 10:29–31 — the sparrow scriptureBook referenced: Mere Christianity by C.S.

In this special Easter episode, life coach Karen Papin shares personal reflections on the significance of Easter and how it relates to our divine worth. Drawing from her experience finding peace in scripture after her younger brother Sam's passing, Karen explores how Christ's atonement, suffering, and resurrection demonstrate the immeasurable worth of each individual. The episode concludes with a guided Easter meditation that invites listeners to visualize themselves as witnesses to key moments in the Savior's final days.Key points:Christ's sacrifice demonstrates our inherent divine worth regardless of whether we accept itThe empty tomb is proof that we are not meant to remain in brokennessChrist suffered not only for our sins but also for our pains, afflictions, and infirmitiesBecause of Easter, we can trust that we are never alone and that our mistakes don't define usChrist sees beyond who we are now to who we are becomingQuestions to PonderWhere have I been doubting my worth?How does the atonement and resurrection of Christ speak to that doubt?What would it look like to live today like I truly believed I was worth it?Scriptures:John 15:13, Mosiah 14:4-5, Alma 7:11-12, Matthew 26:8, Revelation 21:4Get your free divine worth scripture cards at www.karenpapin.com/scripturecards and remember: you are of worth, you have a purpose, the Lord loves you, and only you can make the impact on this world that you are meant to make.

Do you struggle with self-worth and confidence? Have you ever been told you're "too much" — too loud, too passionate, too bright? In this beautiful and uplifting conversation, host Karen Papin sits down with marriage and relationship coach Michelle Bacca Llamas to talk about what it truly means to embrace your divine identity and let your light shine — even when others are uncomfortable with it. Michelle shares her deeply personal journey of rediscovering her self-worth and confidence after losing herself in her first marriage, and how surrendering her will to God has helped her step boldly into who He needs her to be. If you've ever dimmed your light to make others comfortable, this episode is for you.5 Key TakeawaysYou are not "too much" — you are exactly who God needs you to be. When others are uncomfortable with your light, it's often a reflection of their own struggle with self-worth and confidence, not a flaw in you. Instead of dimming your light, use it to help others find theirs.His love has always been there. Even when we don't recognize it, God is consistently present in our lives — carrying us through the hard seasons. Building self-worth and confidence starts with trusting that you are never alone.Grace is a powerful tool. We are far too quick to shame ourselves when we make mistakes. Michelle reminds us that the Atonement is meant to be used — give yourself grace, take your mess to the Lord, and let Him unravel it.Stop dismissing your divine qualities. When someone gives you a compliment, resist the urge to deflect. Practice saying "thank you" and then learning to actually believe it. Your self-worth and confidence grow as you stop dismissing what Heavenly Father says about you.Be still with Him. One of the simplest and most powerful tools for recognizing your worth is stillness. Take a few minutes each day to be still — not just quiet, but present with God — and let Him remind you of your divine identity.Resources MentionedScripture featured: Doctrine & Covenants 93:12–13 — "He received not of the fullness at first, but continued from grace to grace."Connect with Michelle Bacca Llamas:Facebook: Michelle Llamas, LLC Instagram: @baccamichelleReady to Go Deeper?If this episode sparked something in you and you're ready to truly build your self-worth and confidence, here are three ways to take your next step:📖 Grab your FREE Divine Worth Scripture Cards — beautiful cards to keep God's truth about your worth front and center every day.👉 www.karenpapin.com/scripturecards📓 Get the Divine Worth Journal on Amazon — a guided journal filled with scriptures to help you embrace your divine worth and potential.

What happens to your self worth and confidence when the unthinkable occurs? In this powerful episode, host Karen Papin sits down with Ashlee Boyson — mother of seven, author, and speaker — who shares her remarkable journey of rebuilding self worth and confidence after her husband was murdered in 2011. Ashlee opens up about discovering his infidelity in the same devastating moment, navigating a painful second marriage, and how God used every broken piece of her story to reveal her true, unshakeable worth. If you have ever tied your self worth and confidence to another person's opinion of you, this episode will speak directly to your soul.5 Key TakeawaysYour self worth and confidence cannot come from another person. Ashlee learned through heartbreak, betrayal, and loss that when we attach our worth to how others see us, we are left empty every time. True self worth and confidence are rooted in how God sees us — and that never changes.Hiding your story keeps you stuck. Many of us shove our pain under the rug hoping it will disappear, but healing begins when we are willing to acknowledge our story with honesty. Sharing her story — first through a blog, then through speaking — became the most freeing thing Ashlee ever did for her self worth and confidence.God's answers to our prayers don't always look the way we expect. Like the Jaredites, sometimes God says "you tell me," sometimes He gives clear direction, and sometimes He simply asks us to trust Him. Each response is designed to build us, not break us.Tell your children the truth. Ashlee made the courageous choice to share age-appropriate truth with her kids after tragedy struck. Rather than protecting them with lies, she protected their ability to know and own their story — and they have thanked her for it.Small, simple daily habits protect your self worth and confidence. Ashlee's grounding routine — one verse of scripture, a prayer, and a few lines in a journal — may seem modest, but done consistently it creates the spiritual foundation needed to fight off the negative thoughts that erode self worth and confidence every day.Resources MentionedAshlee's books – Moments We Stand (a three-part series chronicling her journey through murder and the murder trial) and her children's grief book Quite — all available on AmazonAshlee's website: momentwestand.comAshlee on social media: search Moments We StandScripture referenced: 1 Samuel 16:7 — "The Lord looketh on the heart."Book of Mormon references: 1 Nephi 1:1 (Nephi on afflictions and being highly favored)Ready to Go Deeper?If this episode stirred something in you and you are ready to truly step into your self worth and confidence, here are three ways to keep growing:🌿 Grab your FREE Divine Worth Scripture Cards — a beautiful collection of scriptures focused on your worth, designed to remind you daily of how God sees you.👉 www.karenpapin.com/scripturecards📓 Get your Divine Worth Journal on Amazon — a guided journal with scriptures to help you embrace your divine worth and potential.

Do you ever feel like you're doing "all the things" — serving, working, mothering, showing up — yet still feel completely empty inside? If your self worth and confidence are buried under exhaustion, resentment, and overwhelm, this episode is for you.This week, Karen sits down with emotional wellness coach Kristen Smith, who shares her personal journey from burning out as a busy working mom of four to building the peaceful, connected life she always longed for. After 30 years of marriage, raising four daughters, juggling work-from-home life, church callings, and a husband who had drifted from their faith, Kristen found herself crying on the floor of her closet — convinced she needed to change everyone else. What she discovered instead set her on a completely different path.Kristen opens up about the moment she felt God whisper, "You're praying for the wrong miracle," and how that nudge began a journey toward real self worth and confidence — not through fixing others, but through doing the inner work herself. She shares how gut health, mindset work, and emotional wellness tools all came together to help her find peace without losing her faith or herself.If you've been white-knuckling life and wondering why the gospel isn't "working," this conversation will give you clarity, hope, and a practical first step forward.**5 Key Takeaways:**1. Focus on what you want, not what you don't want. Your brain and body respond to where your attention goes. Reframing your thoughts — from "I don't want to fight with my husband" to "I want a loving, healthy relationship" — is one of the most powerful tools for building genuine self worth and confidence from the inside out.2. You might be praying for the wrong miracle.3. We all think differently 4. Your body is keeping score.5.

Are you exhausted — not from doing too much, but from carrying too much? In this solo episode, Karen Papin opens up about a season when she was doing all the "right" things — reading the best books, taking action, striving toward her goals — and yet still felt hollow. The missing piece wasn't more effort. It was trust in God.Karen explores what it really looks like to release the pressure of proving your worth and instead partner with God. True self worth and confidence aren't built by doing it all — they're discovered when we stop pushing through our lives and instead let the Lord lead. If you've been spinning plates, running on empty, and wondering why it still doesn't feel like enough, this episode is for you.5 Key Takeaways:Exhaustion often comes from striving, not busyness. The low-level pressure of needing to have it all together is what drains us — and it quietly erodes our self worth and confidence over time. True rest comes from releasing that pressure, not just crossing things off your list.Striving to prove yourself can block God's help. Like Nephi, we often try our own approaches first — and that's not wrong. But real breakthroughs come when we shift from "I need to make this happen" to "Father, what's the next right step?" That's when self worth and confidence rooted in Him begin to grow.Surrender is not passive — it's powerful. Handing your burdens over to God doesn't mean you stop caring or stop acting. It means you stop carrying the weight alone. Releasing outcomes to the Lord actually expands your capacity to move forward with clarity, love, and genuine confidence.Presence is one of the greatest gifts you can give. Whether it's a bedtime moment with your child or a quiet prayer, being mentally and emotionally there matters more than any to-do list. When we let go of striving, we find we're finally where we're meant to be.Trusting God changes your heart first — and then everything else. Karen's anxiety about her kids didn't disappear immediately, but when she surrendered it to the Lord, her heart shifted. From that place of love instead of fear, she became more present, more effective, and more connected — a beautiful example of how real self worth and confidence are fruits of faith, not performance.Resources Mentioned:Matthew 11:28–30 — "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest…"The story of Nephi and the brass plates — 1 Nephi 3-4 in the Book of MormonReady to go deeper?If this episode resonated with you and you're ready to move from striving to surrendering, here are three ways to keep growing in your self worth and confidence:🌿 Join the Divine Worth Membership — Each month we go deeper into topics just like this one.

What happens when everything you've built your identity around is taken away? For Carrie Yost — mom of seven, farmer's wife, and now an emerging songwriter — a sudden autoimmune illness stripped away her coaching, her community roles, her photography business, and her sense of self. But out of that darkness came something she never expected: a calling to write music that speaks directly to the soul. In this episode, Carrie shares how God showed up for her through the people around her, how she went from knowing almost nothing about music to producing deeply moving songs heard across the country, and how true self worth and confidence aren't built on what we do — but on who God knows we can become. 5 Key TakeawaysSelf worth and confidence aren't found in your accomplishments. When Carrie lost her health, her roles, and her sense of purpose, she discovered that her worth was never tied to what she could do. Real self worth and confidence are rooted in God's view of you — not the world's.God shows up through other people. When Carrie couldn't feel the Spirit during her depression, Heavenly Father kept sending friends, neighbors, and strangers with meals, prayers, and encouragement. Those acts of service were His love made visible — a powerful reminder that we are never truly alone.Weakness can be the perfect breeding ground for your purpose. Carrie's illness humbled her in every possible way — and that humility made space for God to redirect her life toward something she never would have chosen on her own. Sometimes what feels like loss is actually preparation.Line upon line is enough. Carrie didn't need to know the whole plan. She just needed to take the next step — learn one chord, write one song, trust one person. God filled in the gaps as she showed up with willingness. Building true self worth and confidence often works the same way — one small act of courage at a time.Standing up for what you believe takes courage — and it's worth it. Inspired by President Nelson's call for women to testify boldly, Carrie pushed past her fear of public criticism to share her faith online. As soon as she did, God amplified her message in ways she never could have orchestrated herself. Your voice and your story matter more than you know.Resources Mentioned🎵 Carrie Yost's Music – Find her songs including No Orphans of God, Each Fallen Sparrow, Learn in the Dark, and Call to Stand: https://www.youtube.com/@CarrieYostMusic🌐 Carrie's Website: carrieyostmusic.com📘 Carrie on Facebook & Instagram – Search Carrie Yost Music📖 Psalm 139:14 – "I am fearfully and wonderfully made" (Hebrew: Yare — made with holy intention)🎶 "Wonderfully Made" by Angie Killian & Katie HigleyIf today's episode stirred something in your heart, here are two ways to keep growing:📖 Grab your FREE Divine Worth Scripture Cards — beautiful, printable cards to remind you daily of your self worth and confidence in God's eyes.👉 www.karenpapin.com/scripturecards📓 Get the Divine Worth Journal on Amazon — a guided journal filled with scriptures and prompts to help you embrace your God-given worth and build lasting self worth and confidence.👉 Search Divine Worth Journal by Karen Papin on Amazon or go directly here:https://www.amazon.com/Divine-Worth-Journal-Scriptures-Embracing/dp/B0CZDPF4TT/

What does it really mean to know your self worth and walk in confidence as a child of God? In this uplifting and wide-ranging episode, Karen sits down with Dr. Trina Boice — university professor, author of 35 books, film critic, and mom of four — for a rich conversation about identity, divine worth, and the everyday practices that help us remember who we truly are. Trina shares personal stories of feeling God's love in profound moments, practical tools for raising your energy and silencing negative self-talk, and insights from her newest books that will deepen your understanding of Jesus Christ and His love for you. Whether you're struggling to feel your self worth or simply looking for a confidence boost, this episode is filled with wisdom, warmth, and encouragement for your journey.5 Key Takeaways:Your mirror doesn't tell the whole story. So much of our self worth and confidence gets tied to what we see in the mirror, but the mirror is just glass — it doesn't know your heart, your kindness, your divine nature, or the incredible things happening inside your body. True self worth comes from understanding who you are spiritually, not just physically.Pause and replace negative self-talk. When you catch yourself speaking harshly to yourself, Trina's simple but powerful tool is to pause and replace that thought with: "I am a child of God and my worth does not change today." Building self worth and confidence doesn't require a huge life overhaul — just one replaced thought at a time.Raise your energy to raise your confidence. Trina shares the concept of an "energy ladder" with despair at the bottom and gratitude at the top. Simple practices like listening to music, going outside, writing a list of things you love, or even playing nature sounds can shift your energy and help you show up with more confidence and clarity.Your worth is unconditional — no exceptions. God's love and your divine worth are not dependent on your performance, your mistakes, or what others think of you. Doctrine & Covenants 18 reminds us that the worth of every soul is great. No number of mistakes can erase that. Anchoring your self worth and confidence in that eternal truth changes everything.What you consume shapes how you see yourself. Doom scrolling, negative media, and constant comparison quietly erode self worth and confidence. Trina challenges listeners to be intentional about what they're feeding their minds and spirits each day — and to replace unhelpful habits with things that truly uplift and inspire.Resources Mentioned:What the Mirror Doesn't Tell You: The Wonder Within – book by Dr. Trina Boice and her twin sister (a nurse practitioner), focused on helping women recognize the miracle of their bodies and reclaim their self worth and confidenceThe Language of Heaven – Dr. Trina Boice's book on Hebrew words for Latter-day Saints studying the Old Testament, including the word ga'al (kinsman redeemer), which beautifully illustrates our divine worthVia Dolorosa – Dr. Trina Boice's book walking through the 14 stations of Christ's path through Jerusalem, a powerful Easter devotional for familiesLet Them – book by Mel RobbinsDoctrine & Covenants Section 18 – on the worth of every soulMatthew 25:40 / Mosiah 2:17 – favorite divine worth scriptures shared by Dr. Trina BoiceReady to go deeper in your journey of self worth and confidence?📖 Grab your FREE Divine Worth Scripture Cards to keep God's truth about your worth and confidence close every single day:👉 www.karenpapin.com/scripturecards📓 Get the Divine Worth Journal on Amazon — a beautiful tool to help you reflect, grow, and anchor your self worth and confidence in scripture.

What happens to your self-worth and confidence when life dismantles everything you thought you were? Amber Jackson is a widow and single mom to four children who has faced more identity upheaval than most — postpartum depression, two divorces, and the loss of her husband Tim to terminal brain cancer. Through it all, she has returned to one unshakeable truth: she is a daughter of God, chosen and seen.In this episode, Amber shares how curiosity before God, honest prayer, and letting go of even the good labels became the foundation of her self-worth and confidence. She opens up about raising three kids with autism, redefining what success as a mother looks like, and why showing up authentically is the key to attracting the right people into your life.5 KEY TAKEAWAYS1. Curiosity is the beginning of true self-worth and confidence. Bringing honest questions to God — "Who do you want me to become?" — is one of the most powerful first steps toward discovering your divine worth.2. Even the "good" labels can hold you back. Letting go of all identities opens us up to become exactly who our Heavenly Father created us to be.3. Redefine success on God's terms, not the world's. True self-worth and confidence come from showing up faithfully in the life God actually gave you — not from meeting the world's expectations.4. Your authentic self attracts the right people. The more Amber showed up as who God designed her to be, the deeper and more sacred her friendships became.5. Give yourself the same grace you give your children. Caring for your own basic needs is not indulgence — it is stewardship of the divine worth God placed within you.RESOURCES MENTIONEDScripture: Proverbs 31:10 — "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies."Connect with Amber on Instagram: @enjoyinghollandamberjacksonJOIN THE DIVINE WORTH MEMBERSHIPhttps://karenpapincoaching.thrivecart.com/divineworthmembership/FREE DIVINE WORTH SCRIPTURE CARDSwww.karenpapin.com/scripturecardsGET THE DIVINE WORTH JOURNAL on Amazon — search "Divine Worth Journal by Karen Papin" or visit:https://www.amazon.com/Divine-Worth-Journal-Scriptures-Embracing/dp/B0CZDPF4TT/

Do you ever hold back from asking for help because you don't want to burden others? In this episode, Karen shares a coaching conversation and a personal story about her brother Sam that will change how you view asking for help. Discover why the belief "I don't want to be a burden" may actually be keeping you from experiencing love, building deeper relationships, and developing true self worth and confidence. Learn how accepting help isn't a weakness—it's an act of strength that allows others to show their love while strengthening your own sense of self worth and confidence.5 Key Takeaways:Accepting help strengthens relationships and builds self worth and confidence - When you refuse help, you unknowingly distance yourself from those who love you and prevent them from showing their care, which can diminish your sense of worthiness.The "I don't want to be a burden" mindset often stems from love, but creates isolation - While this belief feels selfless, it can lead to emotional distance, burnout, resentment, and prevent you from developing healthy self worth and confidence.Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness - Humbly accepting that you're struggling and reaching out for support demonstrates true self worth and confidence, not putting up a false front of perfection.God wants to hear from you, always - He welcomes your tears, fears, questions, and needs. Reaching out to Him in prayer strengthens your relationship with Him and reinforces your divine self worth and confidence.Allowing yourself to be seen allows you to feel loved - When you open up to trusted people about what you're going through, you create space for genuine connection and experience the love that builds lasting self worth and confidence.Ready to deepen your journey toward self worth and confidence?

In this episode, Karen sits down with Sharla Goettl, author of Covenant Power: Transforming Fear into Faith Through Jesus Christ, to explore how temple covenants can transform our self-worth and confidence. Sharla shares her personal journey of writing this powerful book, including a profound experience during an Elder Bednar training where she learned that anxiety was pride in disguise—a fear that was blocking her from recognizing her divine worth and capability.Discover how understanding your covenants can address common human fears like betrayal, not being good enough, and not being loved. Through beautiful examples from scripture characters like Nephi, Mormon, and Peter, Sharla reveals how each covenant principle provides solid guarantees that build our self-worth and confidence. She explains that covenants aren't restrictions—they're the very tools God uses to accomplish His work, and as we understand them better, they empower us to become more capable and confident in who we truly are.This conversation will help you see your covenants as a ladder to becoming your true self and recognizing your immeasurable value in Heavenly Father's eyes.5 Key Takeaways:God is a Wonderful Coordinator - When we act on spiritual promptings and keep our covenants, God coordinates events in ways we cannot foresee to help us receive what we truly want most, building our confidence in His plan for us.Covenants Address Human Fears - Each temple covenant addresses a specific human fear and provides a guarantee that strengthens our self-worth: obedience addresses fear of losing control, the law of the gospel addresses fear of not being loved, and chastity addresses fear of not being capable.Covenants Are Tools, Not Restrictions - Our covenants are the same principles Heavenly Father used to accomplish His work. They aren't obstacles to overcome but rather empowering tools that increase our capability and confidence.Your Value is Immeasurable - The fact that God's work and glory is to bring about our eternal life means our value is equal to the price Christ paid—His life. Understanding this transforms our self-worth and confidence.Prophets Introduce Us to Our True Selves - Through prophets and our covenant relationship with God, we're introduced layer by layer to who we really are, discovering our divine worth and true identity as children of heavenly parents.Resources Mentioned:Book: Covenant Power: Transforming Fear into Faith Through Jesus Christ by Sharla Goettl (available on Amazon and Cedar Fort website)Book: Spiritual Resilience by Sharla GoettlScripture: Moses 1:39 - "This is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man"Website: sharlagoettl.comInstagram: @authorsharlagoettlReady to deepen your understanding of your divine worth and build unshakeable confidence?

In this episode, Karen sits down with life coach Heather Rackham to explore the profound connection between understanding our divine identity and building unshakeable self worth and confidence. Heather shares her personal journey of discovering God's love through losing her younger brother at age eight, raising her own children, and navigating a faith transition that required her to fundamentally reimagine her relationship with Heavenly Parents.Through vulnerable storytelling, Heather reveals how she transformed from viewing God as austere and demanding to understanding Him as a loving parent who is here to prove us to ourselves—not the other way around. This shift revolutionized her self worth and confidence, enabling her to step into uncomfortable spaces, build a thriving coaching business, and help others on their own faith journeys.Listeners will discover how the beliefs we hold about ourselves—like Heather's deep-seated feeling that she "doesn't belong"—can silently sabotage our ability to live in our fullness. But more importantly, they'll learn practical tools for recognizing these limiting beliefs and developing the self worth and confidence to challenge them with loving curiosity rather than shame.5 Key TakeawaysWe're here so God can prove us to ourselves, not to prove ourselves to God. This reframing shifts us from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance, building genuine self worth and confidence as we recognize that God already knows our capabilities and is helping us discover them.Trust is three-dimensional: "I trust them, they trust me, I trust me." Heather's powerful mantra reveals that true self worth and confidence require not just trusting God, but also trusting ourselves—a dimension many of us neglect in our spiritual practice.Repentance is chiseling away everything that isn't authentically you. Like Michelangelo revealing David from marble, the process of gaining new perspectives helps us remove the false beliefs and layers that hide our divine nature, strengthening our self worth and confidence in who we truly are.Our emotions aren't mutually exclusive—we can hold multiple feelings simultaneously. Even in grief, we can experience peace and joy. This understanding helps us navigate life's challenges while maintaining self worth and confidence through difficult seasons.Living in your fullness helps others live in theirs. When we embrace our divine worth and develop genuine self worth and confidence, we give others permission to do the same. Your personal growth isn't selfish—it's actually the most effective way to serve those around you.Resources MentionedCome Follow Me (scriptures referenced from Moses 1:4 and current week's study)Doctrine and Covenants (referenced regarding "you are my child")Hebrews 12:27 ("things which cannot be shaken")Latter Day Saint Life Coach Directory - Email: ldslifecoaches.comHeather's podcast with Latter Day Life CoachesReady to deepen your journey of self worth and confidence?Join the Divine Worth Membership where you'll find a supportive community, monthly coaching, and resources designed to help you embrace your divine identity and build lasting self worth and confidence: https://karenpapincoaching.thrivecart.com/divineworthmembership/Get your FREE Divine Worth Scripture Cards to carry reminders of your divine nature with you every day: www.karenpapin.com/scripturecardsOrder the Divine Worth Journal on Amazon to guide your daily reflections and strengthen your self worth and confidence through scripture-based prompts.

In this episode, guest Bob Smith shares his journey from checking all the boxes of LDS life while feeling empty inside, to discovering true connection with himself, his relationships, and God. Bob opens up about growing up in a chaotic home that left him feeling small and powerless, and how years of marriage revealed that what was missing wasn't more doing—it was his authentic presence. He introduces his "Become the Captain" method, which combines vision, tools, and emotional healing to help LDS men step into their divine power and create genuine intimacy in their marriages. Bob's story reminds us that the longest journey we make is the 13 inches from our head to our heart, and that healing and transformation are absolutely available to each of us.5 Key TakeawaysDoing More Isn't the Answer - You can read scriptures, attend church, serve in callings, and check all the boxes, but if you're not present and connected to yourself, you'll still feel empty. What matters most is bringing your authentic self to your relationships.Complete the Emotional Circuit - True healing requires experiencing both the difficult emotions AND the resolution emotions. We can't just jump to positive thinking—we must allow ourselves to fully process negative emotions and then experience the completion (comfort, pride, nurturing) to truly move forward.Alignments Create Assignments - Who you surround yourself with is more important than what you do. Finding the right coach, mentor, or community aligned with where you want to go will naturally lead to the right actions and faster progress.All Problems Are Emotional Problems - The only reason we avoid doing something is because of how we believe it will make us feel. Recognizing this helps us understand that emotional healing is the key to moving forward in any area of life.Shaking Reveals What Remains - Like Hebrews 12:26-27 teaches, God shakes us to remove what isn't truly us, so that our authentic, powerful self can emerge. Marriage and challenges are opportunities for this refining process to reveal who we've always been underneath.Resources MentionedBecome the Captain Program - Bob Smith's coaching program for LDS menWebsite: becomethecaptain.comEmail: [email protected] 12:26-27 - Bob's favorite scripture about shaking and remainingReady to deepen your understanding of your divine worth?

Join host, Karen Papin for a conversation with guest, Bekah Sorensen, an LDS singer and songwriter who shares original music and reimagined hymns to testify of the Savior's love. In this episode, Bekah opens up about her journey with music, including the physical challenges that have affected her voice, and how these limitations have deepened her understanding of divine worth. She shares insights about offering our "breadcrumbs and fish heads" to the Lord, trusting Him to magnify our imperfect offerings, and discovering that our worth isn't tied to our talents or abilities—but to whose we are. This conversation will remind you that you are enough, simply because you are His.5 Key TakeawaysYour Best is Enough - God doesn't always ask for what we think is our "perfect" best. Like the loaves and fishes, He can work miracles with our "breadcrumbs and fish heads"—whatever we can offer Him in the moment, even when it feels inadequate.Choose to Believe - In moments of faith struggle or doubt, we can choose what we believe and choose to remember what we've felt and experienced with the Spirit. Our questions are welcome, but we can anchor ourselves in truth while we seek answers.Identity Beyond Talents - Our worth isn't tied to our abilities, accomplishments, or even our God-given talents. Our divine worth comes solely from being His—being children of Heavenly Father. That identity is constant, even when everything else changes.Less Can Be More - Sometimes removing the "excess" in our offerings—whether in music, service, or other areas—leaves room for the Spirit to do His work. Simplicity can create space for divine connection.Keep Asking - Don't just ask Heavenly Father once what He thinks of you—keep asking until you feel and understand His love. Write down those experiences, because we tend to forget during difficult trials. He is anxious to tell you how much He loves you.Resources MentionedBekah Sorensen's Music:"I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go" (reimagined hymn) - Available on YouTube"Choose to Believe" (original song)"You Are Mine" (original song - coming soon)Connect with Bekah:Instagram: @bekah.sorensenFacebook: Bekah Pence SorensenWebsite: bekahsorensen.com (for music and sheet music)YouTube: Bekah SorensenScriptures Referenced:Doctrine & Covenants 19:1-2Moses 1 (Come Follow Me)Join the Divine Worth CommunityReady to dive deeper into discovering your divine worth?

Start your new year from a place of abundance! In this episode, Karen encourages you to carry the Christmas spirit of love and gratitude into your goal-setting process. Rather than focusing on lack and what's missing, Karen talks about the importance of setting identity-focused goals while embracing God's blessings and your inherent worth. Discover how shifting from a scarcity mindset to one of gratitude can transform not only your goals but your entire approach to personal growth.5 Key Takeaways:Set goals from abundance, not lack - Instead of focusing on what you wish was different, recognize the blessings already surrounding you and build your goals from that foundation of gratitude.Celebrate your progress and strengths - Reflect on what you accomplished last year, the lessons you learned, and the growth you experienced rather than dwelling on unmet goals.Practice present-moment gratitude - Use all your senses to notice the blessings around you right now, from electricity to relationships, to shift into an abundant mindset.Remember you've survived challenges before - Looking back at difficult times reminds you of your capability and resilience to overcome future obstacles.Partner with God in your goals - When you put limits on yourself, you're also limiting God. Trust that He will guide you and help you accomplish more than you imagined possible.Resources Mentioned:Quote from Elder Uchtdorf: "Being grateful in times of distress does not mean that we are pleased with our circumstances. It does mean that through the eyes of faith, we look beyond our present day challenges."Upcoming Workshop: Identity-Focused Goals with Grace, Love, and Gratitude - January 14th (exclusive to Divine Worth Membership members)Ready to set identity-focused goals with love and grace?

In this Christmas episode, Karen Papin shares a personal reflection on celebrating the Savior's birth during her first Christmas without her brother JD. Through an intimate scripture study of Luke chapters 1 and 2, she explores the birth of Christ and what it reveals about God's love and belief in us. Karen walks through the annunciation to Mary, Elizabeth's miraculous pregnancy, and the nativity story, drawing powerful connections between these ancient accounts and our modern struggles with doubt, inadequacy, and fear. This episode is a beautiful reminder that with God, nothing is impossible, and that He provides both divine support and earthly companions to help us through our callings and trials.5 Key TakeawaysGod Believes in You - When the angel called Mary "highly favored," it wasn't despite her calling but because of it. When God calls us to difficult things, it's evidence that He believes in our ability to accomplish them."Fear Not" Means Refocus - The repeated scriptural phrase "fear not" is a gentle invitation to shift our focus from our fears back to the Lord and His power to sustain us.You're Not Alone - Just as God provided Elizabeth as a companion and support for Mary, He provides people and the Holy Ghost to walk alongside us in our trials and responsibilities.Nothing Is Impossible with God - Our self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy don't change the truth that with God's help, we can accomplish what He asks of us.Ponder and Remember - Following Mary's example of keeping things and pondering them in her heart, we should regularly reflect on the Savior's love, His sacrifice, and the blessings in our lives.Resources MentionedScripture reference: Luke Chapter 1 (verses 27-48, specifically)Scripture reference: Luke Chapter 2 (verses 1-19, specifically)Join the Divine Worth Membership and dive deeper into discovering your divine worth with a supportive community, monthly coaching calls, and exclusive resources: https://karenpapincoaching.thrivecart.com/divineworthmembership/Download your FREE Divine Worth Scripture Cards at www.karenpapin.com/scripturecards to carry daily reminders of your worth with you.Get the Divine Worth Journal on Amazon by searching "Divine Worth Journal by Karen Papin" or visit: https://www.amazon.com/Divine-Worth-Journal-Scriptures-Embracing/dp/B0CZDPF4TT/

In this episode, Karen Papin explores how to transform prayer from a daily checklist item into a powerful tool for connecting with Heavenly Father. She discusses the common obstacles that prevent us from having meaningful prayers—busyness, perfectionism, fear, and emotions—and shares practical strategies to deepen your prayer life. Karen emphasizes that prayer is about building a relationship with God through vulnerability and humility, not just fulfilling a routine. Through scriptural examples and personal experiences, she reminds us that Heavenly Father wants to hear from us throughout the day, in both formal prayers and quiet moments.Key Takeaways:Prayer is about connection, not completion - The purpose of prayer is to build a relationship with Heavenly Father, not simply to check it off your to-do list. Ask yourself what meaningful prayer looks like and feels like to you.Pray always, in every circumstance - You don't need a quiet, formal setting to pray. Some of the most powerful prayers happen while driving, caring for children, or in the midst of daily activities. Keep a prayer in your heart throughout the day.Pause and set intention before praying - Take deep breaths and remind yourself that prayer is an opportunity to connect with Heavenly Father. Visualize Him there with you to make the experience more real and personal.Resources Mentioned:Scriptures Referenced:3 Nephi 20:1 (Book of Mormon)Doctrine and Covenants 10:5Mosiah 23:12 (Book of Mormon)Moroni 7:9 (Book of Mormon)Alma 37:36-37 (Book of Mormon)Biblical Stories: Daniel in the lion's den, Alma the Elder and his people in captivityReady to go deeper?

Join Karen Papin in conversation with Lynzi Clyde, host of the Why I Stay podcast, as they explore the profound difference between knowing and feeling God's love. Lynzi shares her vulnerable journey from being a fiercely independent achiever to learning to slow down, be present, and truly internalize divine love. This conversation will resonate with anyone who has struggled with the need to "do it all" while learning to let God in.Discover why presence matters, how slow growth refines us, and practical ways to move from intellectual understanding to heartfelt experience of your divine worth.5 Key Takeaways:Know vs. Feel: There's a crucial difference between intellectually knowing God loves you and actually feeling His love—and learning to feel it requires vulnerability and openness.The Power of Presence: Being fully present in one moment at a time (rather than constantly multitasking or seeking the next thing) opens our hearts to feel God's love and find joy in the journey.Slow Growth Has Purpose: God allows us to experience slow, gradual growth because it refines us, teaches us to be present, and creates lasting transformation that quick fixes cannot achieve.Write Down God's Love: Actively recording moments when you feel God's love helps you internalize His care for you and provides reminders during difficult times.Love Leads to Action: When we allow ourselves to feel God's love and let it fill our hearts, it naturally propels us forward to good works and sharing that love with others (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17).Resources Mentioned:Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17Connect with Lynzi Clyde:https://www.instagram.com/whyistaypodcastLynzi's Why I Stay Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4nsI2zsgzUAIEsI6ikkYYiReady to dive deeper into your divine worth journey?Schedule a Rooted in Love Clarity Call: Free Rooted in Love Consult: ⁠https://calendly.com/kpapincoach/conversationwithkarenJoin the Divine Worth Membership for ongoing support, resources, and community: https://karenpapincoaching.thrivecart.com/divineworthmembership/Download your free Divine Worth Scripture Cards at: www.karenpapin.com/scripturecardsOrder the Divine Worth Journal on Amazon by searching "Divine Worth Journal by Karen Papin" or visit: https://www.amazon.com/Divine-Worth-Journal-Scriptures-Embracing/dp/B0CZDPF4TT/

In this episode, Karen welcomes Elise Palm, a relationship therapist from Norway, who shares her powerful journey of discovering divine worth through seasons of depression, service, and relationships. Elise opens up about moving to Alaska as a teenager and falling into a deep depression where she couldn't feel love for anyone—including herself. Through accepting a calling to serve as young women's class president, she experienced God's love flowing through her in ways she never thought possible. Elise also shares vulnerable insights about her first relationship where she struggled with feeling "not worth it," and how Heavenly Father eventually showed her the kind of love she truly deserved. With practical wisdom from her work as a therapist, Elise offers actionable tools for strengthening marriages and embracing the truth that we are daughters and sons of God.5 Key TakeawaysGod's love can flow through service even when we feel numb - During depression, Elise discovered that serving others became a conduit for experiencing divine love, which eventually helped her relearn to love herself.Learning to be loved is just as important as learning to love - We need both experiences: understanding how to give love AND how to receive it. Without learning to receive, we become resentful and unable to recognize our own worth.Vulnerability requires courage but creates connection - Asking for what you need in relationships ("I just want you to say 'that sucks'") helps your partner know how to respond and deepens intimacy.The companionship inventory transforms marriages - Weekly check-ins asking "How did you feel loved this week?" and "What's one goal for our relationship?" create intentional connection and growth (found in Preach My Gospel).Your divine identity is your strongest defense - Like Moses declaring "I am a son of God," knowing who we are as children of God gives us confidence to resist temptation and refuse to settle for less than we deserve.Resources MentionedThe Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John GottmanPreach My Gospel (Companionship Inventory tool)Moses 1:13 - Elise's favorite divine worth scriptureConnect with Elise Palm:Ready to Go Deeper?If this episode resonated with you and you're ready to dive deeper into embracing your divine worth, we'd love to have you join the Divine Worth Membership.

In this episode, Karen explores the truth that we don't have to do everything perfectly before turning to Christ. She addresses the misconception around "after all we can do" from 2 Nephi 25:23, sharing how our "best" looks different on different days—and that's okay. Through personal stories and powerful scriptures, Karen reminds us that Christ wants to be with us in the messy moments, not just when we have it all together.5 Key Takeaways:"All we can do" means humility, not perfection - The phrase "after all we can do" isn't about doing everything flawlessly; it's about humbly accepting we need Christ's help and inviting Him into our lives.Christ understands our worst days - According to Alma 7:11-12, Christ experienced all our pains and weaknesses so He could succor us in our hardest moments—not just our best ones.God gives us weaknesses to make us humble - As shown in Ether 12:27, the Lord gives us weaknesses so we'll turn to Him, and when we do, He can make our weak things become strong.Perfectionism is actually Satan's plan - Trying to do everything perfectly before turning to God denies Christ's power and mirrors Satan's plan to force everyone to do everything right without need for a Savior.Christ loves you individually - Just as He invited people one by one to feel the prints in His hands (3 Nephi 11), Christ's love is personal and specific to you, right where you are today.Resources Mentioned:Divine Confidence Roadmap - A personalized guide to help you release the pressure of doing it all and give from a place of love again:https://karenpapincoaching.thrivecart.com/confidence-roadmap/Connect & Continue Your JourneyJoin the Divine Worth Membership - Go deeper with monthly sessions that help you trust God, let go of perfection, and find faith in your purpose alongside other women of faith:https://karenpapincoaching.thrivecart.com/divineworthmembership/Get Your Free Divine Worth Scripture Cards:www.karenpapin.com/scripturecardsOrder the Divine Worth Journal on Amazon - Search "Divine Worth Journal by Karen Papin" or visit:https://www.amazon.com/Divine-Worth-Journal-Scriptures-Embracing/dp/B0CZDPF4TT/

In this solo episode, Karen Papin shares personal reflections on staying focused on what truly matters, the power of being present, and finding strength through connecting with God. Drawing from scriptural examples like Nephi building the boat and the Brother of Jared's barges, Karen explores how to receive divine guidance in our daily lives. She also opens up about her grief journey following her brother JD's passing and shares a beautiful perspective on the law of consecration—reminding us that even our smallest contributions matter when combined with others' efforts.Start Your Day with Divine Direction - Ask Heavenly Father what's most important to focus on each day or hour. This practice helps you align with what truly matters rather than chasing distractions.Joy Happens in the Present - Being present allows us to connect deeply with God, our loved ones, and ourselves. It's in these moments of stillness that we find peace, even amid life's storms.Gratitude Is Healing - When we allow ourselves to feel our emotions and be present with them, we open ourselves up to see all the ways God is showing His love and blessing us, even in hard times.Go to Church for Jesus, Not Just People - When our relationship with Christ is our foundation, we can stand strong through judgment and difficulties, and our hearts naturally turn outward in love for others.The Beauty of the Law of Consecration - You don't have to do everything. Give what you can in each moment, and trust that as we combine our efforts—even small ones—great things happen. Sometimes all you can do is grieve, and that's giving your all.Tough Genes Superhero Fundraiser - Supporting children with rare diseases (ends November 15th) - https://tilt.fyi/A2rR0SKDd9Ready to dive deeper into embracing your divine worth and potential?Join the Divine Worth Membership at https://karenpapincoaching.thrivecart.com/divineworthmembership/ where each month we explore topics that help you trust God, let go of perfection, and find faith in your purpose alongside other women of faith.Get your free Divine Worth Scripture Cards at www.karenpapin.com/scripturecards to carry daily reminders of your worth.Order the Divine Worth Journal on Amazon by searching "Divine Worth Journal by Karen Papin" or visit https://www.amazon.com/Divine-Worth-Journal-Scriptures-Embracing/dp/B0CZDPF4TT/Remember: You are of worth.

This was the conversation I (Karen) needed to have. In this conversation, I sit down with positive intelligence coach Lori Petersen to explore how women can reconnect with their divine worth even amid life's challenges. Lori shares her personal journey from perfectionism and the "three strikes you're out" mentality to learning that her worth comes from God's love, not from checking all the boxes. Through beautiful metaphors of sailboats and storms, Lori reveals how the Savior can be our anchor when the winds and waves of life threaten to overwhelm us.5 Key Takeaways:The Savior in Your Boat: When life feels out of control, remember that with the Savior in the boat with you, the winds and waves cannot sink you—and those very winds are what propel your sailboat forward in growth and progression.The Power of Presence: Taking just 10-20 seconds to engage your five senses can shift your brain from fight-or-flight mode to a place of clarity, gratitude, and connection with God.Gratitude as a Tool, Not a Burden: It's okay to feel difficult emotions first.

In this conversation, guest, Audra Elkington shares her journey of discovering her divine identity through multiple moves, periods of doubt, and ultimately returning to the church after five and a half years away. As a self-described introvert who's lived in 12 homes over 21 years of marriage, Audra opens up about how God has repeatedly shown her that she's more than the "shy girl" she once believed herself to be. From speaking at Time Out for Women to starting her podcast "Where We Gather," Audra's story is a powerful testament to how the Savior helps us see our true worth—even when Satan tries to convince us otherwise. Her insights on finding connection as an introvert, turning weaknesses into strengths, and letting Christ change our identity will inspire anyone struggling to see themselves as God sees them.5 Key TakeawaysYour personality traits aren't flaws to fix, but strengths to harness for good. Even stubbornness can become spiritual resilience when directed toward standing firm in your faith and identity.God places you exactly where you need to be—and places others there for you too. Every season and location in your life has divine purpose, whether you're there to bless others or to receive the blessing yourself.Finding community as an introvert means creating spaces around YOUR interests. Instead of forcing yourself into groups that drain you, invite others into activities that fill your soul while building meaningful connections.Your divine identity cannot be separated from Jesus Christ. Like Jacob becoming Israel or the Lamanites becoming Anti-Nephi-Lehis, true identity change happens when we let the Savior transform us into who we were always meant to be.5. Speaking up matters—even if you only reach one person. Your voice has power, and the courage to share your testimony or truth can be the catalyst someone else needs for their own conversion or breakthrough.Speaking up matters—even if you only reach one person.

In this powerful episode, Sheila Layton shares her remarkable story of faith, loss, and divine love. At just 21 years old, Sheila experienced unimaginable tragedy when her father passed away from alcohol addiction in June 1985, followed by the death of her mother and sister in a car accident just one month later. Despite facing such overwhelming grief, Sheila never questioned God's love for her—a spiritual gift she's carried throughout her life.From meeting her husband Blair on a blind date three years before the tragedy (which she now sees as divine preparation) to receiving comfort through dreams and tender mercies, Sheila's story demonstrates how God prepares us for our trials and carries us through them. Now, 40 years later, she hosts her own podcast "Beyond Coincidence" and works with a humanitarian organization helping over 200 Haitian children in the Dominican Republic. Her journey from reluctant podcaster to faithful servant shows how God uses our gifts—even the ones we don't initially recognize—for His purposes.5 Key Takeaways:God prepares us for our trials before they come - From meeting the right spouse to having supportive family members positioned in our lives, divine preparation is often evident only in retrospect.Stepping outside our comfort zone is essential for spiritual growth - Just as physical muscles need resistance to grow stronger, our spiritual development requires us to do hard things we wouldn't choose on our own.God speaks through thoughts, scriptures, and daily experiences - Divine communication often comes as thoughts in our minds, relevant scriptures that speak to our situation, or small "coincidences" throughout our day.Our perceived weaknesses can actually be divine gifts - What others may see as flaws (like talking too much) can be exactly what God needs us to use in His service.5. The Lord qualifies whom He calls - When God asks us to do something, He provides the people, resources, and abilities we need to accomplish His work, even when we feel completely unprepared.Resources Mentioned:Beyond Coincidence Podcast - Sheila's podcast about seeing God's hand in daily lifeDominican Starfish Foundation - Humanitarian organization working in the Dominican RepublicCardston Alberta Temple - Historical temple mentioned in Sheila's storySong: "Walk Tall, You're a Daughter of God" - Meaningful song from Sheila's mother's funeralConnect with Sheila:Instagram: @beyondcoincidence.podcastEmail: [email protected] Your Free Divine Worth Scripture Cards!

After taking three weeks off from the podcast to process this loss, she opens up about how the Savior's promise that His "yoke is easy and burden is light" has carried her through this difficult time.

In this conversation, Karen Papin sits down with Marla Gale, founder and executive director of the We Are Creators Conference and creator of the Instagram account @marlalovesjesus. Marla shares her raw and real journey of discovering God's love and belief in her through some of life's most challenging moments, including high-risk pregnancies, marriage struggles, and the daily trials of motherhood.This episode will transform how you view trials, miracles, and your own divine worth. Marla's vulnerable stories of trusting God's voice—even when doctors disagreed—and finding peace in the midst of uncertainty will inspire you to see God's hand more clearly in your own life.5 Key TakeawaysTrials are Evidence of God's Confidence in You - God doesn't bring us to experiences He doesn't believe we can handle with His help. Every trial is a "Red Sea moment" where we get to witness His power and grow in capability.Miracles Often Look Like Peace - The biggest miracles aren't always dramatic healings or interventions, but rather the peace we feel during uncertainty and the daily strength to keep going when we shouldn't be able to.Your Worth is Constant and Unchanging - Nothing you do or don't do can alter your divine worth. It was given to you by God and remains great in His sight regardless of your decisions or circumstances.Gratitude Journals Help Us See God's Hand - Recording small daily miracles and tender mercies trains our eyes to recognize God's presence in the "manna moments" of life.Temple Worship Solidifies Our Understanding of Worth - Spending time with God in the temple and scriptures creates an inner confidence that makes others' opinions—both praise and criticism—less likely to stick.Resources MentionedIsaiah 43:1-5 - Marla's favorite divine worth scripture about God knowing us by name and being with us through trials"You Are Special" by Max Lucado - Children's book referenced for its analogy about worth and how time with our Creator makes others' opinions less stickyPresident Russell M.

In this episode of the Divine Worth podcast, life coach Karen Papin sits down with accomplished author and illustrator Fay A. Klingler to explore the journey from knowing intellectually that God loves us to truly feeling that love in our hearts. Fay shares her vulnerable story of overcoming negative self-talk and discovering her divine worth through faith, prayer, and the power of positive affirmations. From her experiences with betrayal recovery to finding courage in life-threatening situations, Fay's insights offer hope and practical tools for anyone struggling to believe in their own value.This conversation between Karen Papin and Fay Klingler provides both heartfelt storytelling and actionable wisdom for embracing your divine worth.5 Key Takeaways:There's a difference between knowing and feeling God's love - Many people intellectually understand that God loves them but struggle to feel that love emotionally in their hearts.Satan targets our self-worth - Negative thoughts and comparisons are often influenced by Satan, especially for those who are naturally more gentle or sensitive souls.Pray specifically for help feeling your worth - Ask Heavenly Father two specific questions: "Do you love me?" and "Will you help me to feel inside my own value?"Daily recognition of God's hand is essential - Make it a practice to identify how Heavenly Father showed His love for you each day, as these moments can easily be overlooked without intentional reflection.Positive affirmations paired with prayer are powerful - Write realistic, present-tense affirmations (using "I am" statements) and ask God to help you live them, then watch for confirming experiences.Books by Fay A. Klingler:My Day Reader - Daily affirmations with supporting scripturesShattered: Six Steps from Betrayal to Recovery - National bestseller on betrayal recoveryA Woman's Power - About the power women have but often don't utilizeI Am Strong, I Am Smart - Children's book about grandmother-granddaughter connectionsFinding Rena's Voice - Children's book about overcoming fear of singingGrandparenting book (over 400 ideas, Deseret Book bestseller)Get Your Free Resources:📖 Free Divine Worth Scripture Cards - Visit www.karenpapin.com/scripturecards📔 Divine Worth Journal - Available on Amazon by searching "Divine Worth Journal by Karen Papin" or visit: https://www.amazon.com/Divine-Worth-Journal-Scriptures-Embracing/dp/B0CZDPF4TT/ref=sr_1_1?crid=R6V7UATRL0QZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JIj8ahN3DmFYx_g5xJ5SmA.OtBnhoHy3wcSn282flZ4vciJc6fuj7FpdgC0w8qguOk&dib_tag=se&keywords=divine+worth+journal+karen+papin&qid=1745498771&sprefix=divine+worth+journal+karen+papin%2Caps%2C267&sr=8-1

In this episode of the Divine Worth Podcast, host and life coach Karen Papin sits down with Stacey Chadwick, a woman-centered life coach who has been helping moms and teens create balanced, fulfilling lives rooted in faith, family, and fitness since 2018. Stacey opens up about her personal journey of discovering and maintaining her divine worth through two major life challenges: navigating her husband's pornography addiction early in their marriage and coping with the unexpected loss of her father in 2022.This deeply personal conversation explores how understanding our identity as children of God transforms every aspect of our lives, providing peace, connection with Christ, and the ability to shine light for others even in our darkest moments. Key TakeawaysDivine Worth vs. Divine Potential: Divine worth is your inherent value as a child of God that never changes regardless of circumstances, while divine potential is your capacity to grow and develop godly characteristics through your connection with Him.The Power of the Triangle Relationship: The strongest marriages and relationships are built like a triangle - both individuals connecting upward to God first, which then strengthens their connection to each other.Your Body is a Temple: Understanding that your physical body is literally the temple of the Holy Ghost changes how you care for yourself - not for appearance or vanity, but to glorify God and serve others with energy and vitality.Trauma Responses Are Normal: PTSD triggers from difficult experiences don't mean you haven't made progress - they're your body's safety mechanism, and understanding this helps you respond with compassion toward yourself.Grace and Divine Timing: God has placed you here "for such a time as this" with unique talents and gifts. Giving yourself grace while striving to reach your divine potential allows God's grace to work in your life.References:Conference Talk: "Burying Our Weapons of Rebellion" by Elder D.

Have you ever felt like God is calling you to something that seems meant for someone else—someone more qualified, more confident, or just "more everything"? In this powerful episode, Karen Papin explores the universal struggle of self-doubt and how to overcome the thoughts that keep us from stepping into our divine calling.Drawing from inspiring examples in the scriptures like Moses, Moroni, Esther, and Mary, Karen shows how even the most faithful people in scripture wrestled with feelings of inadequacy. She shares her own journey of learning to speak publicly and how God helped her transform her weaknesses into strengths through faith and trust.This episode provides a practical framework for moving from fear to faith by changing how we see ourselves, reframing our thoughts, and taking action from a place of divine confidence.Key TakeawaysSelf-doubt is universal - Even those in the scriptures like Moses, Moroni, Esther, and Mary struggled with feelings of inadequacy when called by GodTrust God's vision over your own - Focus on God's perspective of who you are rather than your perceived limitationsReframe your thoughts - When self-doubt arises, intentionally choose to think differently and embrace empowering beliefsFocus on the next step - You don't need to see the entire plan; just take the next faithful step forwardTake action from faith - Even small steps taken in faith can lead to great things when aligned with God's visionResources MentionedFear to Faith Program - Available at https://karenpapincoaching.thrivecart.com/feartofaith/Divine Worth Summit - Get on the waiting list at karenpapin.com/summitScriptures MentionedExodus 4 (Moses and his calling)Ether 12:24-29 (Moroni's struggle with writing)Esther 4 (Esther's courage to approach the king)Luke 1 (Mary's calling to be mother of Jesus)1 Nephi 3:7 (The Lord prepares a way)Ready to embrace your divine worth?

In this powerful and inspiring episode, life coach Karen Papin sits down with two remarkable women who have transformed their understanding of service, vulnerability, and divine worth through their experiences with spinal cord injuries. Jill McAuley, a quadriplegic injured in a car accident at 18, and Jamie Moore, who became paralyzed at age 5 from an accidental gunshot wound, share profound insights about how allowing others to serve us is actually a form of service itself.Both women discuss their journeys from questioning their identity and worth after their accidents to discovering deeper truths about their divine nature. They explore the challenges of accepting help, overcoming the "burden" mindset, and finding purpose through vulnerability. Their friendship, which began as college roommates at BYU, demonstrates the beautiful connections that can form when we allow others into our struggles.Key Takeaways:Allowing others to serve you is serving them - When we receive help, we give others the opportunity to experience the joy and blessings that come from serviceDivine identity is unchanging - Our worth isn't defined by our physical abilities or circumstances, but by our eternal identity as children of GodIt's okay to take your turn - Everyone will need help at some point in life; accepting assistance is part of the human experienceVulnerability creates connection - Being open about our needs allows for meaningful relationships and community buildingWe rob others of blessings when we refuse help out of pride - Service is a two-way blessing that benefits both giver and receiverTrials can be both the worst and best things that happen to us - Like Adam and Eve's experience, our limitations can become pathways to God's greatest giftsSimple acts of service matter - Even small gestures like smiling or asking about someone's day can make a significant impactResources MentionedDents in My Armor Podcast - Where Jill previously shared her storyScripture References:Mosiah 2:17 - "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God"Doctrine & Covenants 58:3-4 - About God's design and glory following tribulationGet Your Free Resources:📖 Free Divine Worth Scripture Cards: Visit www.karenpapin.com/scripturecards📓 Divine Worth Journal: Available on Amazon by searching "Divine Worth Journal by Karen Papin" or visit: https://www.amazon.com/Divine-Worth-Journal-Scriptures-Embracing/dp/B0CZDPF4TT/ref=sr_1_1?crid=R6V7UATRL0QZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JIj8ahN3DmFYx_g5xJ5SmA.OtBnhoHy3wcSn282flZ4vciJc6fuj7FpdgC0w8qguOk&dib_tag=se&keywords=divine+worth+journal+karen+papin&qid=1745498771&sprefix=divine+worth+journal+karen+papin%2Caps%2C267&sr=8-1

Karen opens up about her experience of being paralyzed by fear when asked to speak in church, and how that crushing moment became the catalyst for her growth and faith.Through personal stories and scriptural insights, Karen reveals how she learned to reframe fear as an indicator rather than an obstacle, and how consistent spiritual preparation through prayer and scripture study became the foundation for conquering anxiety. She discusses the difference between fear and the "spirit of fear," and shares practical tools for turning fear into faith.Key Takeaways:Fear is an indicator, not a problem - It signals you're about to step outside your comfort zone and growReframe your "what ifs" - Instead of focusing on what could go wrong, ask "What if it goes well?

In this episode, Karen sits down with Susan Hart, a mom of four who shares her transformative journey from deriving her self-worth entirely from her children's successes to discovering her own divine identity and purpose. After nearly 20 years of living her life through her kids, Susan experienced a wake-up call when her son was rejected from his dream college. This moment led her to realize she had lost herself in motherhood and was placing unfair pressure on her children to validate her worth.Susan opens up about her journey back to herself - how she reconnected with God, rediscovered her passions, started her own editing business, and became a coach to help other moms find their purpose beyond motherhood. Her story is a beautiful example of how we can be devoted mothers while still maintaining our individual identity and divine calling.Key Takeaways:Recognize when you've lost yourself - Living vicariously through your children's achievements creates unhealthy pressure on them and robs you of your own identityPartner with God to rediscover your purpose - Prayer and seeking God's guidance helps you discover your unique calling beyond motherhoodYou can be both a devoted mom AND pursue your passions - Schedule time for yourself and rediscover what you used to love - it's not selfish, it's necessaryLet your children learn through their own experiences - Allow kids to handle challenges and learn from mistakes while they're still in your homeTake time to be still and listen - Find quiet moments to hear God's voice amidst the chaos of motherhoodScripture Highlight:Romans 8:16-18 - "The spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God, and if children then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ..."Resources Mentioned:The Balanced Mom Facebook Group - "Creating Purpose and Passion Beyond Motherhood" Ready to embrace your divine worth?Get your FREE Divine Worth Scripture Cards at www.karenpapin.com/scripturecardsWant to dive deeper into your journey?Get the Divine Worth Journal on Amazon by searching "Divine Worth Journal by Karen Papin" or visit: https://www.amazon.com/Divine-Worth-Journal-Scriptures-Embracing/dp/B0CZDPF4TT/ref=sr_1_1?crid=R6V7UATRL0QZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JIj8ahN3DmFYx_g5xJ5SmA.OtBnhoHy3wcSn282flZ4vciJc6fuj7FpdgC0w8qguOk&dib_tag=se&keywords=divine+worth+journal+karen+papin&qid=1745498771&sprefix=divine+worth+journal+karen+papin%2Caps%2C267&sr=8-1
