LDS Divorce Coach

When I saw this quote from Eckhart Tolle that I opened the podcast with, it really hit me. It hit me so hard that it inspired thoughts to spew out of me that I felt would be very pertinent to so many. It is so important to remember that we are not our emotions. I realized that a couple of weeks ago, I fell prey to personifying the way I was feeling. I began to identify with it. I felt like it was part of me. I had forgotten that feelings come and go. Just because I was sad, did not mean I was a sad person and it would last forever. I see this all of the time with my clients. Narrative therapy is what I will often use to try to objectify and separate those feelings from the identity. When a person says they are anxious or have anxiety, it has become part of their identity. It has become something that has been felt so consistently that it is now a part of the subconscious and is a way of life. Narrative therapy suggests to separate these entities by objectifying them. For example, labeling feelings of anxiety and painting them into a character such as "the old lady" or whatever. That way, you can ask when they remember "the old lady" first showing up. Can you see how this can begin to separate emotions from idenity? Join me in this podcast and listen to some practical examples of how this occurs and 3 steps that will help to combat identifying so much with our emotions.

We know how important it is to teach emotional regulation to our children. But parents, you better know how to emotionally regulate before you can teach it to your own children. Remember, so much more is caught than taught in our parenting world. Here is the link I promised to follow along with: https://cls.unc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3019/2016/06/Chain-Analysis-Worksheet.pdf I have decided to do a series on emotional regulation in DBT. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a great therapeutic modality because it presents so many skills that can actually be learned. To further sharpen your emotional regulation strategies, find a DBT trained therapist in your area or contact me for more info. https://linktr.ee/coachemilysanchez/

This podcast is for the self-help junkie. I have definitely been there. That hit of dopamine every time you hear the latest and greatest strategy is exquisite. So, you seek more and more and more. You've got the latest audiobook and 3 others queued and ready to go. You've got your ticket to a couple of retreats, and your nose in a few self-help books. But, is there true growth? Is there improvement? Is all the "trying" getting you somewhere. We are so good at being human doings instead of human beings. Listen in and see what might be missing.

In this episode, I share 10 ways family and friends can support their loved ones in crisis. We may not be supporting our people the way they truly need it, so listen in and let me know if you would add anything to the list. I would love to hear from you.

In this podcast I talk about how difficult communication is between anyone who seems to be the cause of pain for you. What would happen if you were asked to give a speech and while you were walking up about to deliver it, you totally stubbed your toe? Would you be able to talk right away? Would you have the senses to say everything as planned? Not at all...you'd definitely need some time to compose yourself. Same goes for our emotional pain. We just may not have the words in the moment when we are "triggered" into feeling a lot of pain. So, I offer some helpful strategies around this, so you can communicate better with your coparent, spouse, child, coworker...or WHOMEVER!

In this episode, I explain where I've been for the last couple of years. I have been chasing after a dream. I share 3 key things I have learned about chasing dreams. I explain my podcast's new name Turn the Corner.

To all my single moms out there, this message is for you. Single dads, just substitute dad for mom and listen on father's day. :) :) * Why does Mother's Day shortly after a divorce feel weird or different? I hope it doesn't for you, but just in case, I shared my perspective which I believe many share. * It is interesting that once divorced, you fall into the category of Single Mom. Isn't that nice that society has a new name for you? Subconsciously, this can feel like a different definition and even a different identity. * I believe this identity can enhance what motherhood means to you and is a special calling. As we rise to any challenge we may have, the Lord qualifies whom he calls. * Please listen in and let me know what your perspective of a single mom is. Link to Podcast in Bio. Episode #102.

I've got a little secret to share in this podcast that you might not be ready to hear. So, when you're ready...go listen! You won't regret it. * This podcast actually stems from a time in my life when I was struggling and I kept asking my mom for advice. "Tell me your secrets!" I'd say. "I want to know." She would keep telling me I wasn't in the right frame of mind to hear it yet and kept putting me off and putting me off. Well, what does that do to anyone? It sparks their curiosity and makes them want to know....NOW!!! * So when I made her tell me it started off with the phrase, "You're not going to want to hear this." Ha ha. That's not the most fun thing to hear before someone proceeds to offer advice. But, it was very simple y'all and you probably need to hear it, too. * On the back end of the podcast, I talk a little bit about what real self-care is and what it isn't. Interesting that the tough message from my mom is actually what proves to care for the self THE VERY BEST! * Link in BIO. EPISODE 101. LOVE YOU GUYS!

This is truly the come back kid story. If you feel a lack of motivation or continuation or cultivation or any -ation, come listen to this interview I have with my friend, Jordan Keith (@jordandkeith). * We are talking fitness, health, physical journey today folks, and boy this guy has had one...and a few. Growing up as a kid who was always overweight, it was super hard to feel confident enough to jump into the physical fitness world that the small town had to offer. Nobody really teaches you how to break out of unhealthy habits at that age, but Jordan exercised a lot of fortitude going into college to take his first steps in a healthier direction. * Next comes love, then comes marriage, then comes babies in a baby carriage (ok, that sounds familiar) and sometimes those things throw wrenches in the physical fitness area. We can ALL relate! * Then Jordan pushed through and broke through some barriers he never could before to get to where he is now. 11% body fat and training to GAIN weight/muscle. He can't believe he's stepping on the scale and hoping it'll go up. A place he's never been before. * Come listen in to find out his secrets on my 100th podcast episode!

In this podcast, I interview Noelle McBride, @c.noellemcbride author of "Beauty for Ashes: Divorce and the Latter-Day Saint Woman." I believe this is the first book of its kind! FINALLY, there is a great resource for members of the Church going through divorce. * We talk about everything here: healing, boundaries, forgiveness, falling out of love, dating after divorce, faith amidst trial, building ourselves back. The struggle is real, but it CAN lead to a new reinvented self through the atonement of Jesus Christ. And that's why I love her story so much!!! People, there is hope and healing on the way. * Come listen and then read the book whether you are divorced or not, this can give you the tools to overcome any challenge by using gospel principles. * Grab her book "BEAUTY FOR ASHES: DIVORCE AND THE LATTER-DAY SAINT WOMAN" on Amazon.

Ever feel like you're stuck in a rut? You just have lost your passion and vision. You may still feel happy, but things are just meh. That emoji is getting used more and more by you. Haha * I found myself here and then did something to break out of it that has been life changing. Yeah, yeah, sounds cliche and life coachy. I get it. But, hey, it worked for me big time and it will work for you, too. * Hop on the podcast train and checkity check yourself before you wreck yourself and check it out. * Podcast link in bio episode 98.

In this podcast I interview my oldest daughter Izzy. I thought it could be beneficial to go to the source and ask how her experience has been with going between two households. * I can imagine that having four parents might feel a little much at times, but Izzy handles it great. She's a wonderful oldest sister to all her siblings and is a great example. * I love how she explains having two houses as such a great way of living. She is truly blessed but also has natural frustrations that come with the territory. * I know how parents worry about their children especially when faced with divorce. You are a good parent because of it! Please do not assume it'll automatically be hard for them or something they cannot overcome. Instead, take those energies and harness them into creating a beautiful picture of what their life is.

You guys ready to hear more about setting goals? Ok, ok, we all know how to set them. Start broad, narrow them down, make them actionable and doable. * But...HOW DO WE MAKE THEM LAST? There's some statistic going around that says in 2 weeks from the beginning of the year 90% of us stop following our goals. Ok, so that number grows every time I hear the statistic. Whatever it is, that is lame! We are better than this. * I have devised a plan to help you stick with your goals. It's a fun plan an exciting plan and a meaningful plan. Come, listen in because it's one of my better podcasts let's be honest. :) :) * Bio to PODCAST is in link. Head to episode #96

In this video, I interview President Tim Overton of the Phoenix, AZ West Maricopa Stake. President Overton has been stake president for 5 years and a previous bishop. He joined the church 20 years ago while playing football at Idaho State University. Tim works as an attorney and law professor and specializes in inclusion, diversity and race relations. * I wanted to take a peek inside the training of bishops and shine light on what their role is while one is going through a divorce. Or, what their role is in general in conflict resolution. I was surprised to hear of the amount of resources available. This left me filled with hope for any individual who is seeking guidance and counsel from a bishop. * The Church has taken great strides in aiding its members with mental health. We need to remember that bishops are human and are not trained therapists. However, they can offer so much guidance and have direct access to find more support if you so need. * Check out the PODCAST by going to my link in BIO. Episode 95. * Remember the views and ideas expressed are not representing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are merely two individuals who happen to be members of the church who are sharing experiences.

Nobody likes to bring up tough subjects. If you are anything like me, you'd rather throw dirt in your eyes. But there really is a much much easier way to go about engaging in one. * What about offering apologies? Is it awkward or actually empowering. How about receiving apologies? * Whether we're trying to communicate in marriage, coparenting, or whatever the case may be, I've come across some little communication hacks that can help anyone get through the toughest convos with ease. * Link to Podcast in BIO episode 94.

In this podcast I share what I feel are the top TEN things people forget to include in their divorce decrees. When writing a parenting plan, it's hard to look into the future and have things laid out especially when your kids are young. * You're probably not thinking about cell phones, extra curricular activities let alone college. How does this all play out as the years go by? * Tune in and find out what you might be missing. Link in Bio Episode 93.

What do you do if one parent will not give permission for your child to be baptized? This can feel very devastating as members of The Church view baptism as necessary for salvation. * If you foresee this happening in the future there are a few things you can include in your divorce decree. * Come listen in to hear my take on a few things you can do to dispel the fears that surround this. I have truly found some gems from past conference talks that have completely changed my perspective and I truly hope your worry will be alleviated as well. * Link in Bio. Episode 92

Having the Gift of the Holy Ghost is probably life's most precious gift. We sometimes forget we even have it, though. We have GOOGLE where we can get all our answers, so we forget we have the greatest direction ever! * Our world is obsessed with self help books, diets, blogs, smoothies, gurus, podcasts (um ya, that's me). Everywhere you turn someone has the answer or strategy you need to feel better, be better, look better, dream better. Shoot! Our precious gift gets overshadowed easily, especially when we get out of practice of using it. * Snuggle up and come listen as I share a story of a bear, a dog, and how we can follow the Spirit in our lives. Animals in stories are awesome especially when it's death defying and about my awesome ancestor! *

This podcast is for all my self-helpers out there. The green smoothie drinking, morning routiners, goal setting, self-improving friends. Sometimes we all get into funks where our usual strategies don't seem to be working. At those types of moments, I ask (in my best Chandler from Friends voice) "Could it BE more simple?" * With so much content and self help in the world, we can miss the mark. We make things more complicated, more heavy, more important, more... * Let's wipe that all away and get to the simplicity of what works. * I'm really excited about this podcast. I hope you love it!

Here's the deal. I know how loneliness feels. It can really suck, I get it. But, ya know what else is worse? Being in a lousy relationship or even worse, an abusive one. Sometimes once we're freshly out of that relationship, the sting of loneliness hits us hard at first and literally blinds our memory of how bad it was in the relationship. * We start freaking out and want to either get back into said relationship or jump into another one straight quick. Desire to be with someone can get so out of wack that it actually screws up our chances. Have you ever wanted something so badly that it just couldn't work?! Weird that sometimes when we want something too bad, it just slips through our fingers. * In this week's podcast I take a look at how we can change our focus from wanting a partner and why we want one into who we want to become for OURSELVES! There's SO much good to do, so much fun to be a part of, and so much life to live! * And to quote Madea, "I'd rather be in a corner with a puppy and a goldfish and be happy than to be sitting around with somebody in my house and I'm wondering what the hell they there for." * Check out link to podcast in my BIO. Episode 89.

Image a world without complaining. Can you even picture it? It's too good, right?! I want you to start picturing it at least in your own life. Everything starts with one person...YOU! * Why 21 days? Studies have shown that it takes about that amount of time to make or break a habit. That is what complaining is....a habit. We have wired our brains to make complaining in conversation a part of life. We have to rewire it to break the pattern and then see results. * Complaining has been scientifically proven to shrink parts of our brain and to be very bad for our health. Let's reverse it's effects and see what our lives can become without it! Let's turn that decay into growth! * Do you think you can do it? NO COMPLAINING or CRITICIZING for 21 DAYS! JOIN ME! * Check out link in my bio to access the PODCAST episode 88!

While hiking in Sedona I noticed a lot of people without shoes. At first I thought, "they be crazy" then I started thinking maybe they know something I don't. I asked a young man why he chose not to wear shoes while hiking this uphill climb. He explained to me that not only could he grip with his toes, balance better, and slip less, but that it was supposed to ground you. * This stuck with me. I loved how that sounded and will probably try it sometime. But until then, I thought how can we all be more grounded without having to cut up our feet on a hike? * We know that strong deep roots help weather the storms that come, but let's apply this spiritually and even emotionally. * Come listen in to what I truly think can give someone the edge in feeling this grounding in their lives. It has to do with being uncommon amongst uncommon people. Let's do it! * Link to Podcast is in BIO. Episode #86

Lately it seems the only thing people can agree on is that we can't agree on anything. Our minds are trained to quickly block someone we disagree with so that in real life we start walking away from arguments or not engaging at all in important conversations that need to take place. * My goal in this podcast is to help you disagree productively, to find ways to bring truth to life and new ideas to life. There is a model to accomplish this while having mutual respect. * If you find yourself avoiding conflict to make peace, you start a war within. * Listen in to find out many steps you can take to drastically improve your conversations and disagreements.

You know when you've heard something that has changed you? Think back to a time when you listened to a story that impacted you enough to stir a noticeable shift in your heart. Luckily, this just happened to me when my new friend shared a very intimate experience with me from her past. So, I convinced her to share it with all of you. * In this podcast, Karla shares her stories and insights of how forgiveness is a gift from Heavenly Father. She expounds upon how after years of sexual abuse as a child, she was able to forgive her abuser. Her story is purely miraculous and through that experience she has possessed this gift of forgiveness that has helped her to forgive time and time again throughout her life. * Sometimes even the idea of having to forgive someone is too much to comprehend. But when we completely turn it over to the Lord, it is possible and can completely free us.

Do you love yourself? Do you enjoy being with you? This podcast is for everyone but it stemmed from some emails I received which had the same theme. What's wrong with me if my partner no longer wants me? How can I love myself if no one else does? * Sometimes it takes some courage to love yourself when you feel like you're starting over. These are tough times as it is and your capabilities are being tried and tested. * So, let's focus on 3 things. Stop looking in the rearview mirror, realize what God created and find out who you really are. * Listen in for the deets.

We've all heard of physical armor: shields, helmets, breast plates and so on. But, what is your mental armor? What are the things that help you break mental barriers and live in a peak emotional state? * In this podcast, I give you four things I believe that can create strong mental armor. I compare them to the armor of God, because just like spiritually, there is definitely a mental battle that goes on every day.

Have you ever thought something was too hard? That you just didn't have any more to give? I certainly have, but I was WRONG, and so are you. * 2020 has definitely brought a butt load of challenges. But nobody is going to come along and solve them for us. We are the only ones who are in charge of what we're going to do to handle our own crap. * In this podcast, I looked to others who have changed the definition of what suffering means; who have defied the odds; who have become so mentally tough, they know they can accomplish anything. One such individual is David Goggins @davidgoggins, retired Navy Seal, Army Ranger, Air Force tactical controlman and ultra marathon runner. * I offer 4 steps and some points to ponder from what I've learned that will prove to you that you are capable of so much more than you can comprehend. It is in you. You are the one who can do it! *

This was too crazy of a time in my family's life to not document. So, I made a podcast about our experience having COVID-19 because of what I learned through it. Our little 6 year old must have immunity of steal because she was the only one who did not test positive. * A few things I learned: 1. The Small Things Matter 2. Having a strong coparenting relationship matters 3. Allow others to hurt with you and 4. Prayer is real and has real power. * I continue to be amazed at the love and service that exists around me. I know that the world seems bleak, especially with everything going on right now, but we can truly focus on what those storms can bring and the beauty during the process. * Email me at CoachEmilySanchez@gmail.com if you have any questions.

This is the vitamin B12 shot of podcasts! You know those wheatgrass shots that supposedly give your body such energy and vibrance? Well, this podcast is your spiritual and emotional wheatgrass shot of the week. * After reading Buzz Aldrin's book "No Dream Is Too High: Life Lessons From a Man Who Walked on the Moon," I thought it was too good not to share. This book is a golden treasure chest to the self help seeker. It is full of life lesson's gems that if applied, you could literally have a whole new life full of adventure and passion. * So, boys and girls, sit and listen to the story time of a lifetime as I share his stories associated with these life lessons. And hey, it saves you having to read the whole thing. ;) ;) But I still recommend it.

It's time to strengthen those marriages! I'm taking a break from talking about life after divorce and concentrating on what to do to avoid it! I wish statistics were not 50% of marriages will end in divorce. C'mon world, we can do better than that. So...here's how. * Listen in if you: -want to build a rock solid marriage - know that your happiness and possibly marriage may be at stake -want to feel connected, understood and in love with your spouse -want to learn a brand new way to handle conflict which actually will bring you closer together -feel like you wouldn't be able to convince your spouse to go to counseling and you'd like change that could actually work now * Whether your marriage is sinking or swimming smoothly, I give 5 strategies that can dramatically improve it. So, listen in...ya know...if you want to be happier in your relationship.

There are many things you can do to combat this in your life. Listen in and become a recovering people pleaser today.

Have you ever caught yourself looking through your ex's social media? C'mon...we all do it. It's natural. Yes, it's normal and natural but it's actually hindering our ability to focus on our futures and let go of that relationship. * So WHY do we do it? And HOW do we stop it? Pretty simple stuff along with some funny albeit embarrassing stories from my past. * So grab some popcorn or laundry or your running shoes or whatever you want and have a listen.

What if I told you there was a way you could know what you should do and what path to take in every situation and in every moment of your life? That would sound pretty good wouldn't it?! People would pay unbelievable amounts of money to have this kind of knowledge. Well, save your money and invest in listening in as I explain how we can utilize personal revelation in our lives. Sometimes when things are exceptionally tough, it's hard to be guided and recognize what we should do because our minds have been quite frenzied. And what about our hearts that have been broken? How do we separate feelings from the Spirit with our own jumbled up mess. Listen in as I separate and compartmentalize how it's possible to receive even more guidance whether you are going through tough times or not. This message is for EVERYONE.

This is the continuation of the discussion I have with a woman named Kiri who was a spouse of a pornography addict. Her story explains the complex trauma that she experienced as she has waded through the waters of the effects of addiction. Her journey through betrayal trauma recovery is still ongoing and she shares her message of hope and healing with us. She is joined by a mental health counselor, Kimberly Day, who is trained in the betrayal trauma recovery process. In this episode, we concentrate more on the processes of healing and dig into how one can set boundaries in these kinds of situations. My hope is that we can point spouses who are experiencing this same kind of trauma into the right process of healing that addresses the issues in the correct way. Email me if you need help finding the right path for your personal healing. Coachemilysanchez@gmail.com

Betrayal Trauma occurs when someone we are significantly attached to lets us down and/or betrays our trust in a critical way. Betrayal trauma recovery more commonly addresses the spouses affected by pornography abuse, infidelity, and/or sex addiction. More studies are being corroborated to show that spouses who experience the daggers of mistrust associated with repeated relapses of pornography use and/or sex addiction are in fact experiencing complex trauma. In order for adequate recovery to occur, it is crucial to get into a program where it is addressed the appropriate way. In this podcast, we hear the story of a woman who's husband is a pornography addict. Her journey of healing is inspiring as she found the right fit for her in the WORTH program. We also hear from a therapist within that program who informs about the terms and processes within betrayal trauma recovery. It's so important to give a voice to those who sometimes become invisible in their spouse's recovery. These stories are difficult to share and take so much bravery and courage. Please join me in supporting her and everyone who's experienced this hardship. There is absolutely so much hope for you! Here is the link to the WORTH program which helps spouses of addicts with their recovery. https://lifechangingservices.org/worth Here is another link with anyone who might be battling pornography use. https://lifechangingservices.org

Hey, so we're in the middle of a pandemic and also have protesting, rioting, and looting...Who wants to talk about dating and love after divorce??? Seems odd to break topic, but I'm going to and this one is good folks! * In this podcast, I won't be talking about the typical red flags in dating like if he still lives with his parents or if he owns a pet boa constrictor named Clarisse. Although those are still smart to heed, what I want to present is what many mistake for love. Our biggest red flag is our own repeated pattern and those are sometimes hard to see. * So, what do people mistake for love? How about infatuation, desire, dependency, transactionalism, possession, and attachment. These things are not true love and so many of us fall into these traps in the quest for love. * So, come and listen to LDS DIVORCE COACH #72 with your podcast provider today.

Do you feel desirable? Do you feel sexy? Most times right after a divorce the answer to that is NO! We feel discarded and unwanted. This person who was supposed to love me and want me for eternity now wants someone else, something else, or nothing else. At least that's how it feels. * Feeling sexy is a mindset. Becoming desirable starts right there in the mind. You've got to begin by telling yourself the TRUTH. I also list a few steps that include BUILDING CONFIDENCE, EXERCISE, FINDING YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF and even...SHOPPING. * This actually turned into one of my favorite podcasts. Even if you aren't divorced please listen...at least to the last ten minutes when I explain that especially women need to get rid of being nice. Tune in to find out what the heck I mean by that. * Email CoachEmilySanchez@gmail.com

Maneuvering the world of dating after divorce can seem tricky with children. Your kids just went through a terrible break up as well and introducing new people and relationships into the mix can create many mixed emotions and fears in children. * In this podcast, I give 10 tidbits of advice that definitely make dating while being a parent go a lot more smoothly.

What do you want in a mate? Sometimes after a divorce the question becomes, what do I never want to repeat again? Taking a moment to ask these questions of ourselves is important before we embark into the dating world, because we don't want to repeat patterns that were harmful or simply didn't work. * A few things I cover are recognizing our own part in the dysfunction, believing in the possibility of a great relationship and changing our pattern as we become aware of how we function in interpersonal relationships. * Tune in if you never want to repeat those mistakes again or if you'd like a few tips on discovering how you can get exactly what you want in a partner. It is possible!

There seems to be so many questions to answer when one thinks about dating after divorce. So, I have started a DATING AFTER DIVORCE podcast series. Here's the first one: YOU READY? * Are you ready to date? Is there a time frame to wait before dating? What about your kids? How will this affect them? How do I navigate all this online dating stuff? I haven't dated in so many years, will I feel awkward? * I invited my favorite guest, Yasser Sanchez (my husband) to help answer these questions and more as we share some of our dating experiences after divorce. He was definitely an expert dater and has a lot of helpful thoughts to share. As divorced LDS people, there was a lot of trepidation about dating again. That's completely normal and ok. You are definitely not alone. Hopefully, our light conversation will open your eyes up to have a fun and joyful dating experience. * Email me at CoachEmilySanchez@gmail.com to set up a free coaching mini session.

If you feel like you don't fit in at church or in your social circle or where ever...good! Jesus Christ took company with the sinners, outcasts, displaced and ill. His disciples were lower class fishermen. The gospel of Jesus Christ can come alive in your life more than ever when you are having challenges that involve feeling displaced.

Much like emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence is when a person forms their own relationship with God, their own testimony and their own devotion completely independent from anyone else.

Ever heard that there will be some faithful stripling warrior prepared for you if you remain single and faithful? I used to think this was mormon folklore, but it turns out that could be very true.

In this podcast, I interview Life Coach, Zach Spafford(@self_mastery_coach). Zach teaches LDS men how to stop using pornography. Instead of thinking in terms of having an addiction, that 12 step programs teach one is powerless against, Zach asserts that instead, it is an addictive behavior and something that one can totally conquer. * Please join me in hearing what Zach has to say about his own recovery as well as the role loved ones, spouses, and even ex spouses can play in someone's life who's battled pornography.

This podcast is a direct recording of the speech I gave at the Women of Wonder annual banquet. I enjoyed being the keynote speaker along side the AZ State Treasurer, Kimberly Yee, and the President of the AZ Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Monica Villalobos. * Sometimes changing our thoughts just isn't enough to evoke the action we want. We must do it anyway! We must bring out the conviction that drives us, that attitude that comes out when the going gets tough. How do you maintain that type of driving attitude? I talk about 4 things you can do. Listen in and forgive the clanking of the forks. :) *

Can this be done while still holding true to covenants? * Whether you're on your 1st marriage, divorced or 6th marriage, come listen in on the answers to these questions along with general tips that will help you spark up a more vibrant and connective intimate relationship.

The person is the last line of my action model. It is the natural outcome if your why to the goals and habits are strong. It is your result. Right now, who you are is the natural result of everything you've practiced up to this point.
