Okay Warrior Barbie, this one’s for us. You ever dream of your perfect Ken growing up? the prince, the hero, the best friend. Me too. But real life gets messy. Sometimes our Kens hurt us, sometimes we’re the ones who need healing, and sometimes we’re both flat on our faces like Barbie just trying to crawl our way to Jesus. In this episode, we’re talking about fighting for healing, not letting anything or anyone stand between us and our Creator. Because just like that woman who reached for the hem of His garment, we can too. So grab your armor (and maybe a tissue), and let’s keep fighting toward the One who heals it all. Note: I recorded this in Aug 2025 before Pres Nelson who turned 101 passed away. 😭 He will always be our modern day Moroni when we needed him to be. What is that C before the Episode Number?

Funny thing, read a quote from Elder Holland post-Barbie movie that hilariously linked to this scene in the film, remember? Those Ken dolls battling on the beach? Blonde Ken gets hit by waves, and Black Haired Ken teases. Like a "beach off" moment, right? Elder Holland's quote back in '09 nailed it about not digging up old stuff to toss at each other. He spoke of a a real-life "beach off," but we're aiming for kindness, not mess! You might wonder why I keep talking about my Betrayal Trauma, here's the scoop. Scriptures talk Christ for our kids' sake, right? He's more than sin-help; He's my healing source. Battling trauma, anxiety, you name it, I have learned that Christ’s got me safely in HIs arms. Through Him, I'm thriving, forgiving, feeling joy. Trauma's part of my journey, strengthening faith, like Peter said – trials more precious than gold! My life's all about growing toward Christ. No "Beach Offs," just sharing my journey. I'm on Team Healing, helping other Barbies find light too. So, no, not starting a "Beach Off," just sharing how I met my Creator. I'm here to guide fellow Barbies through their healing. Trauma happened TO us, but it’s FOR our growth. If you're stuck like I was, join my 5-Day CRUSH Course. Life's brighter on the other side, promise. What is that H before the Episode Number? Learn more about the C.R.U.S.H. Framework & the C.R.U.S.H.

You all know how much I love Superhero Movies! Piezoelectric Effect is the ability of certain materials to generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress. The word Piezoelectric is derived from the Greek piezein, which means to squeeze or press, and piezo, which is Greek for “push”. Do you ever feel this way? Pushed around, pressed down on and like life is being sqeezed out of you? Have a listen! I think this can help.  Also review Episodes 2 and 51 .  What is that H before the Episode Number?

Learned this concept from the podcast Talking Scriptures with Mike and Bryce. I am grateful for their help in adding more light to this so I can see a little more clearly.  Turning on the light isn’t always as simple as flipping a switch, listen to see what we can learn from the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr and how he controlled the darkness. If he can do it, so can we! He was just 14 and not a baptized member of any church at the time. What is that C before the Episode Number? Learn more about the C.R.U.S.H. Framework & C.R.U.S.H.

Pres. Russell M Nelson says “We have never needed positive spiritual momentum more than we do now, to counteract the speed with which evil and the darker signs of times are intensifying.” Pres Nelson gives us 5 Ways to Maintain Positive Spiritual Momentum Get on the covenant path & stay there. Discover the joy of daily repentance. Learn about God & how He works. Seek & expect miracles. End conflict in your life. Satan’s tactics can be scary but the Lord can help get us through those twists and turns quickly. Sometimes getting your coaster to climb higher for more "momentum" or speed could be studying scriptures differently or praying with real intent or serving without complaining.

I have created a list of 100 for you to choose from, to try on and to see which one fits. Remember, I only know what has worked for me and you can test that and see how it works and then if you like the sound of one and the way the other one makes you feel then you can circle it. Or just open a Notes App on your phone and jot down the ones you hear that you like or want to try to keep track of the ones that resonate with you.  If you’d like my list of 100 Battle Cries for Women just text me 561-316-8883 and I’ll send you a link.  So in a nutshell, Battle Cries or Affirmations are like a new pair of shoes. You have to try several before you find the one that fits. Try them out for a week. Say them to yourself out loud, silently in your mind, see what works best. Find what feels right and what fits right and then you can run with them and create a habit of reading them daily or multiple times a day. What is that R before the Episode Number?

As a Fidjiti entrepreneur I love the thrill of starting new businesses. It gets me fired up! Because of this ADHD method of entrepreneurship we have been able to create multiple streams of income. From my Etsy shop, my app, to our rental and more, we have been blessed to never experience what we went through when Our oldest was born over 12 yrs ago, which was unemployment and no insurance or ways to pay for our newborn baby who just got out of the hospital just days before.  Just like we have set up multiple ways to earn income to take care of our temporal needs we can create and organize multiple streams of income for our spiritual needs. What I will call - Multiple Streams of Inspiration or Multiple Streams of Revelation.  What is that C before the Episode Number? Learn more about the C.R.U.S.H.

Are you the kind of person who does the trash talking when playing sports or games or are you the person who gets trash talked to? Can you guess which one I am?  Mahatma Ghandi said “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I shall have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it, even if I may not have it at the beginning.”   Satan is the most experienced and most successful trash talker! At least that is what I have found so far.  What is that R before the Episode Number? Learn more about the C.R.U.S.H.

In December of 2010 there was a fire that destroyed the old Provo Tabernacle. The fire caused an estimated $15 million in damage. The tabernacle was one of the oldest buildings in Utah. The Church started construction in 1883 and took 15 years to complete it. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. After the fire, the only thing barely standing were the 4 outer walls. Time travel back to today and I still can’t believe that I am inside this old burned up tabernacle turned holy temple, house of the Lord. It’s a reminder to me that the Lord can work miracles in our lives, He can rebuild us if we let Him. He gives us so many chances, and He can make us better today than we were yesterday. He can make us Holy. He still blessed all of the families in the scriptures and they are dysfunctional so He will continue to bless us too.  If we let Him, He can turn our trials into triumphs, our pain into purpose and our hiccups into healing. The next time satan tries to torture you with the obvious, that you are not perfect or with the lie that the Lord doesn’t bless dysfunctional families, you throw those bible stories back at him and remember what Elder Holland says: “If for a while the harder you try, the harder it gets, take heart. So it has been with the best people who ever lived.” and he also encourages us with "...keep loving. Keep trying. Keep trusting. Keep believing. Keep growing. Heaven is cheering you on today, tomorrow, and forever." What is that C before the Episode Number? Learn more about the C.R.U.S.H.

It’s a blizzard out there! Everyone is talking about how bad the weather is especially satan, but we can’t let that stop us from getting out there. If we believe Satan’s lies about how scary it is, we will miss how amazing life can be. We can only get so far and experience so much inside our comfort zone, get out there and see what you can do. Do that hard thing. Go out there and find out what you are capable of, you’ll surprise yourself! And when you do, it will propel you to new heights.  C.R.U.S.H.

I am loving Noah’s experience of co-building and co-creating the Ark with the Lord!  Something I didn’t realize with Noah and the Ark, is that the Lord accounted for tons of peeps to fit in there with so many rooms and floors! But only 8 total peeps got on the ark (that is sad), plus animals. Why? Pres. Nelson has said “As you parents create experiences where your children can learn to feel the Spirit of the Lord — that is gathering Israel. “As you help to strengthen the testimonies of others; as you repent and help others to repent; as you reach out in your communities and participate in worthy efforts to alleviate suffering — that is gathering Israel.” Noah gathered Israel in the way the Lord inspired him to, in a way that the Lord knew Noah could. And we can gather Israel in the way that only we can with the Lord's help. Heed those promptings. C.R.U.S.H. Framework H = Hasten to Heed. Hasten to heed the Lord's promptings, just do it because we will be blessed for it and our healing can reach new levels as we are partnering with Christ to do those things that are hard and that we have felt we need to do.

Do you own the game Spot It? Negative self-talk is any inner dialogue that seems like it’s coming from yourself but is really coming from satan because he can whisper anything to us and feed it to us in our own voice. He says things that may be limiting your thoughts to believe in yourself and your own abilities, and to reach your potential. It’s bad because once you internalize it and say it to yourself, that diminishes your ability to make positive changes in your life or your confidence in yourself to do so. So negative self-talk can not only be stressful, but it can really stunt your progress. Research has shown that positive self-talk is a great predictor of success. Which means if we can push past our loud and obnoxious bully satan, we could SPOT the whisperings of the Holy Ghost more clearly and be able to hear things as they really are. But we can’t SPOT IT if we don’t recognize the words from the Holy Ghost. How can we recognize those words? We recite them, we practice them, we post them up, we say them to each other so that when satan throws them our way we will see things as they really are. If we don’t know the words we’re looking for we won’t recognize or SPOT them when they come from heaven. Let's engage in the things that will help to remind us who we are and who's we are.  C.R.U.S.H.

Have you ever taken the time to notice the difference between when the Holy Ghost talks to you and when Satan talks to you? God made everything with just using His words. So the adversary knows that words are a powerful tool to create what we desire or subconsciously create what we don’t desire in our lives and for others and uses words strategically against us to instill doubt in who we are and what we are capable of which make us feel all the negative things. "Things get difficult for all of us but the people who turn back, approach the endeavor with an attitude that is usually along the lines of: “I'm not sure about this yet”  “I'm not sure this is the right job” “I’m not sure that they are the right person”  “I’m not sure I have the right skills”  “I'm not sure this is the right time”  Because of that doubt they plague themselves with the question, “Should I?” Should I keep going” Should I try to make this work? Should I look at something else? Should I leave this position? Should I get a new job?" "They run around asking, Should should should should should, so much that they turn into what I like to call “a should head.” LOL RIGHT? I have totally been a should head and I can see this more when he puts it that way." - RORY VADENWW He then says “There will never be the perfect situation to get us to where we need to get us to where we want to go.  Elder Holland says, “Troubles we all have, but the "germ" of discouragement, to use Fitzgerald's word, is not in the trouble, it is in us. Or to be more precise, I believe it is in Satan, the Prince of Darkness, the Father of Lies. And he would have it be in us. It's frequently a small germ, hardly worth going to the Health Center for, but it will work and it will grow and it will spread. In fact it can become almost a habit, a way of living and thinking, and there the greatest damage is done. Then it takes an increasingly severe toll on our spirit, for it erodes the deepest religious commitments we can make-those of faith, and hope, and charity. We turn inward and look downward, and these greatest of Christlike virtues are damaged or at very least impaired.” - Elder Holland - BYU Speeches March 1980 Bro Vaden then says that “we don’t realize that by having the neutral attitude of “im not sure” we’re continually giving up on ourselves.” Um…yeah that’s not cool, Satan is convincing me to give up on myself?

Have you ever watched a real wrestling match? What do you notice? I needed to get off my high horse or let go of my pride, of holding onto being a victim, so that I could come down and place my hurt and my worry and my sorrows at my Savior’s feet. I was holding on so tightly because it had been a part of me so long, that I didn’t know how to pry it out of my fingers. This was my wrestle before the Lord, before I decided to allow Him to heal all of me. What Satan doesn’t tell us is that as we work with the Lord to do hard things (laying our hurt and our hangups at His feet), He helps us with our anxiety and our emotions or where we are “weaker,” to make them stronger. Satan doesn’t want us to have a relationship with the Savior, because once you know His light and love and strength, he knows you won’t go back. We will rely on the Savior even more. So let’s humble ourselves get off our high horses, pray and wrestle so hard like Enos did and then get to work like Noah so we can build that gigantic impossible ark like thing that the Lord has asked of us, because deep down we know that will bring us the most satisfaction and joy like we haven’t felt in like a million years and will take us to our promised land.  C.R.U.S.H.
