Description

What does it really mean to be “perfect”? In this episode, Jamie offers a refreshing and deeply comforting perspective that challenges the pressure of perfectionism. Together, we explore how true perfection isn’t something we achieve on our own, but something made possible through the Savior. With a focus on growth, purpose, and what truly matters, this conversation invites you to let go of unrealistic expectations and embrace a more meaningful path forward—one rooted in grace, progress, and becoming whole. https://www.jamiepyattlcsw.com/ https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/2014/07/young-adults/becoming-perfect-in-christ?lang=eng https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1995/10/perfection-pending?lang=eng http://churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2017/10/be-ye-therefore-perfect-eventually?lang=eng [https://www.jamiepyattlcsw.com/ https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/2014/07/young-adults/becoming-perfect-in-christ?lang=eng https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1995/10/perfection-pending?lang=eng http://churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2017/10/be-ye-therefore-perfect-eventually?lang=eng]

episode Learning to Hear Him Through the Holy Ghost artwork

Learning to Hear Him Through the Holy Ghost

What if the Holy Ghost isn’t as quiet as we sometimes think He is? In this episode, Elizabeth talks with Arantza Condie, a convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who describes feeling the Spirit like a bolt of lightning — though it wasn’t always that way. As Arantza shares her conversion story, she reflects on how becoming a wife and mother became the catalyst for profound change, and how she can now look back on some of the darkest seasons of her life and recognize that the Savior was gently reaching out to her through the Holy Ghost all along. Her story is a beautiful reminder that God’s love never ebbs and flows, His invitations never cease, and perhaps He has been speaking to us all along as we learn to recognize His language.

The Hope of Motherhood

In this special Mother’s Day episode, we reflect on living and mothering with intention, joy, and connection. Our guest Elle Rowley [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/down-the-well/id1797861644?i=1000723703868 ]models what it means to live authentically—choosing connection, embracing growth, and finding joy along the way, especially in motherhood. She reminds us that our “down the well” moments—times of uncertainty or struggle—are not wasted, but can become places of growth and clarity when we face them with honesty. Motherhood is a hero’s journey, inviting each of us to grow and lead in our own way. There is hope in that journey—hope that our efforts matter, that we are being strengthened, and that our children are being guided as we help them discover who they are. This conversation is a gentle reminder of the beauty and privilege of motherhood—and an invitation to live it more fully, more intentionally, and with greater joy.

Hope for Motherhood With Chelsea Monahan

What does it look like to hold onto hope when the answer you’re praying for doesn’t come—at least not in the way you expected? In this episode, Chelsea Monahan shares her deeply personal journey through infertility and the long, tender season of waiting for motherhood, offering powerful insight into what it means to trust God in the unknown. Her story reaches beyond infertility, speaking to anyone who has ever felt they were “waiting on the Lord,” and bringing comfort to those experiencing loss, longing, or life paths that look different than planned. Released in anticipation of Mother’s Day, this episode gently redefines motherhood—not as something limited to biology, but as a calling rooted in love, nurturing, and caring for God’s children. Through her faith and experiences, Chelsea reminds us that even in the waiting, we are seen, loved, and never alone.
