If you’ve ever lain awake wondering Did I mess this up? or What does this mean for my family and our future? — this episode is for you.
In this very first episode of Open Conversations for LDS Moms, life coach Sherylee Kartchner speaks honestly to the quiet fears faithful mothers carry when their adult children make choices that don’t align with what they were taught. With warmth, faith, and real-life stories, she gently reframes the idea that a “messy” family story means failure — and shows why messiness is actually part of God’s plan for growth.
You’ll hear reassurance, scripture-based perspective, light moments you’ll recognize, and powerful reminders that:
- There are no perfect moms — but there are millions of really good ones
- Your love, effort, and faith were never wasted
- You are already whole, right now
- You can trust God without having all the answers
If church feels hard, shame feels heavy, or you’re tired of second-guessing yourself as a mother, this episode will help you feel lighter, steadier, and less alone.
You are a good mom.
You always have been.
And you always will be.
