Where Can I Turn for Peace - With Molly Christianson CSW

Cleaning Out

What if healing begins by clearing out the “dusty rooms” of our minds? In this interactive episode, Shiree shares a simple three-step exercise to help you identify painful memories, recognize your good intentions, receive God’s forgiveness, and extend grace to yourself. As we release shame and self-judgment, we create more space for God’s peace, guidance, and love—allowing us to show up more compassionately in relationships, especially with loved ones who have made different religious choices than we would have wished. This practical episode offers a path to greater self-forgiveness, emotional healing, and deeper Christlike connection.

Your Feelings Matter Too - With Alysia Humphries

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with life coach and light therapist Alysia Humphries to talk about something many parents and loved ones quietly carry: tying our sense of peace and worth to how someone else is doing. Alysia gently shares why making our emotional well-being dependent on another person can unintentionally place a heavy burden on the relationship. We discuss the importance of remembering that we are not anyone else’s savior—that role belongs to Jesus Christ—and why our healing matters too. This conversation is a tender reminder that caring for ourselves is not selfish. There is a difference between being self-centered and honoring our own needs, emotions, and stewardship. God cares deeply not only about our loved ones, but about us as well. If you’ve been exhausted from carrying the weight of someone else’s choices or struggles, this episode offers wisdom, hope, and permission to begin healing yourself too.

Your Story Isn't Over

In this deeply personal episode, I share pieces of my family’s journey navigating faith differences, heartbreak, strained relationships, and the fear that things may never heal. Like many parents, my husband and I raised our children with love, faith, values, and the hope that they would embrace the beliefs that meant so much to us. Over time, many of our children chose very different paths. Some stepped away quietly. Others left dramatically. Some relationships became painful, distant, or deeply complicated. But this episode is not ultimately about loss. It is about hope. It is about learning that relationships can heal even when beliefs differ. That hearts can soften over time. That love can grow deeper when judgment fades. And that God’s love for our children never changes.

Peacekeeping vs. Peacemaking - With Kathie Christensen

What is the difference between being a peacekeeper and a peacemaker? In this powerful and perspective-shifting conversation, I’m joined by Kathie Christensen—a remarkable woman, master teacher, and someone who has spent decades in the trenches of human relationships. As a mother and highly trained foster parent for the state of Utah, Kathie was entrusted with some of the most challenging children in the system. Through those experiences, she developed a deep understanding of behavior, connection, and what it really takes to create peace. In this episode, Kathie shares the profound difference between peacekeeping and peacemaking—and why that distinction matters more than we might think. While peacekeeping often looks like avoiding conflict or smoothing things over, peacemaking requires something deeper, braver, and far more transformative. Through heartfelt stories and hard-won wisdom, Kathie illustrates how true peace is not about control or silence, but about leaning into conflict with honesty, and love. Together, we explore the Savior’s invitation to “be peacemakers” and what that actually looks like in our everyday relationships—especially when things feel complicated, painful, or divided.

Conference Mash-Up

In this episode, I’ve pulled together powerful quotes from recent General Conferences of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—all centered on one question: How do we stay close to people who believe differently than we do? The answers aren’t found in fixing others—but in turning more fully to Jesus Christ. These messages gently challenge us to rethink love, patience, prayer, and what it really means to be a light. If you’ve ever felt stretched in your relationships, this episode offers a perspective shift that can bring more peace than you might expect.
