Listen to hear my personal insights gathered from personal experiences, scriptures and talks about how to view your weaknesses in a positive light. Episode Summary In my last episode, I aired an interview with Kristen Walker Smith. Kristen shared how our weaknesses as mothers can actually bless our children. I loved Kristen’s thoughts on weakness, so much so, that I decided to do some personal study on the topic of weakness. In this episode, I share a few stories from my own life about seeing weaknesses in a positive light. You’ll hear what happened when I polled my own kids about what they thought my weaknesses are. My 18-year-old son’s comments totally surprised me! I talk about some weak spots in parenting when my kids were little and how my husband and I course corrected. I also share viewing weakness in a positive light from the perspective of being a daughter. The scriptures are full of examples of people who learned that weakness is a positive thing. I share scriptures that illustrate how God uses weakness for our benefit. I found a talk and an article that were very enlightening to me. You’ll hear about a talk I read by Neal A. Maxwell (link below) that helped to remind me that having weakness is totally normal. I also share an Ensign article that sheds light on how weakness is not a sin and actually draws us closer to God (link below). Through my interview with Kristen and my study of weakness I have learned that I can view weakness in a positive light. Weakness has a purpose and through the Savior’s grace our weaknesses become strengths. Episode Links Notwithstanding My Weakness talk by Elder Neal A.

What is Spiritually Minded Women Podcast?

There's more than one way to be a spiritually minded woman who wants to make and keep covenants, know her Savior and make it back home. Yes, there are essential CHECKPOINTS on the covenant path, but there are NO CHECKLISTS with a million checkboxes you must check off.

Each week on the Spiritually Minded Women podcast I’ll be sharing insights about how to embrace YOUR journey on the covenant path with CHECKPOINTS instead of CHECKLISTS.
