We all have things that inconvenience us and annoy us in our lives. Many times we like to play victims and think those inconveniences are caused by others. This week I talk about an inconvenience I dealt with for over 18 months because I thought my husband should take care of the problem. It wasn't until I finally realized that I could solve my own problem, did I also realize that the I was the one causing the inconvenience - not my husband. Come have a listen to not only hear how stupid I was for 18 months, but to also hear how you can be sure not to do the same thing in your own life. Enjoy!

Decisions, decisions, decisions!! They are what we face daily and to some of you, they can be paralyzing. Today I talk all about the importance of getting out of the land of "I don't know." and making decisions for your life. I talk about how your brain works regarding decisions and how Satan and the Holy Ghost play into the whole process. Come have a listen and then let me know what you think! Enjoy!

This life we live is fast paced and crazy. At times we need to take a step back and realize that we are not running a race against anyone else. Our life is important and valuable and sometimes that means we need to slow things down, sleep, and take a deep breath. Come listen to some tips I share after a week of being sick and being forced to slow down. I hope they help you slow down as well and focus on some important self-care. Enjoy!

It's the beginning of the month so that means it's time for me to bring you another interview. Today I am excited to have Chanelle Neilson from "Moms Who Know Podcast" as my guest.

Today Chanelle discusses the importance of the morning routine. If you are anything like me, getting your day started off on the right foot is essential in accomplishing all that the day will bring you. Chanelle also shares how to take information that we learn and apply it in our life in a way that is more meaningful and helpful in advancing our forward progress.

One of the key doctrines of the church is that God has not stopped speaking to man and that The Church has an open canon where revelation is on going. This means that God can change things through His appointed prophets to meet the needs of His saints in real time. Personally, it is how I know this church is true. I know God will not leave me alone in my day and age and will guide me and His prophets so that all I need to know to live the life God wants me to will be revealed to me. As far as the Church goes, only the prophet, Russel M. Nelson can receive revelation for the Church and he sure has received a lot lately. Joel and I discuss these changes today and Joel then shares why he believes so many changes are and will continue to happen. Enjoy!

I don't know where this thought process starts, most likely in ones childhood when the frustration of a mother who sees ungrateful children wanting more and more finally snaps and produces an epic lecture on how greedy children are and that they should just be grateful for what they have and not want more. I have to agree with that mother, and honestly I have been that mother, that all humans - especially children - need more gratitude in their lives. But where I've always gotten it wrong is that I shouldn't want for more. But what if gratitude and wanting more are actually two principles that go hand in hand? What if you are suppose to be grateful AND want more almost in the same breath? Come listen to today's podcast where I talk about how God Himself has taught us this principle through an act we do everyday. It's one I hope to implement more not only in my own life, but teach to my children as well. Enjoy!

You may think that self confidence is something that people are born with, but really it all comes down to how you view your situations and your ability to change your outcomes. Come listen to today's podcast where I give you the key to gaining more self confidence and how you can develop this skill if you want. You read that right, it is a skill and that is such great news because it means anyone can develop more self confidence, thus being able to create the outcomes they want in their lives - and that most definitely includes you. Enjoy!

MISTAKES! We all dread them, but they are simply part of being human. Mistakes are how you learn and how you grow, but we tend to make them mean so much more than they really are. I know God is always forgiving of my mistakes, so you and I both need to make sure we are forgiving of ourselves. In fact, God created a whole plan centered around the very fact that you would make mistakes. Join me today on the podcast as I discuss some recent mistakes I've made and how I handled them so as to not make them worse than they already were. I teach you how to do the same in all the mistakes that lie in your future. Enjoy!

Have you been thinking of going back to school and furthering your education? Have you wondered what it would be like to become a nurse while still having young kids at home? If you answered yes to either of these questions, make sure you take a listen to this interview with Kristina Thomas. Kristina decided it was time to go back to school and get her degree in nursing while her kids were still young and at home. She talks about how she and her husband navigated that time, why she did it when she did, and her feelings about doing it now that she is on the other side of it. Kristina also talks about the privileges she has experienced as she has been a nurse and helped her patients not only with their medical needs but their emotional and spiritual ones as well. Kristina is real and I feel gives a great insight into going after your dreams while still juggling a family and all that life has to bring. Enjoy!

In January 2019, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints made a shift to focus gospel study a bit more on the home. The traditional three hour block of church was dropped down to two hours and a curriculum for families to study together at home was given to all church members. While still in it's infancy, Joel and Meg weigh in on their experiences so far with the new church schedule and curriculum. Enjoy!

We all like to be in a place where we feel like things are sailing along and it's easy and fun. But in life those moments are often fleeting and they take a great amount of energy to get to. That energy needed can be intimidating and keep you from even getting started.

I had a totally different podcast planned for today, and while this podcast is meant to teach and inspire you, I hope that my being real and in the moment will always inspire you more. Our dear sweet dog Griffen passed away yesterday unexpectedly and tragically. I won't go into all the details, but it has definitely thrown a curveball into our lives. Today I pay tribute to him and speak from the heart on what this lesson is teaching me. I know there will be more lessons to come. Thanks for listening and being supportive and understanding. I love you all.

We talk a lot about how to get started doing something, but we often don't talk about the benefits that come once we do start and gain some momentum towards our goal. We certainly don't address the affects it has on our brains. Today on the podcast I talk about the blessings of momentum and the amazing things it produces for you as you grow and develop and become the best version of yourself. Enjoy! If you want help getting to a state of momentum in your life, sign up for a free mini session with me at the link below! https://coachingwithmegtilton.as.me/9sessions

Joel expounds upon insights learned from those of other faiths in regards to the nature of Christ and who He was. He dives deep into the Gospel of John and reflects on the teachings given in that book and the implications it has into our lives and relationship with the Savior.

Today I turn the interview table around and have Dr. Tilton interview me for this special podcast episode. It's totally unedited so I hope you enjoy it. I didn't even know the questions ahead of time. I hope you all had an amazing 2018 and that 2019 is your best year yet!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with many family and friends surrounding you. You are loved and YOU are the reason Christ came to earth. You are worth everything He hopes for you. May you believe in Him and in you. I love you.

You live in a society today where you are bombarded by things that if you consume or participate in, promise to make you feel happy all of the time. As a society we have grown to think that negative and uncomfortable emotions are not the way life's supposed to be lived. But it’s all false advertising. No food, pill, or thing you can buy will ever be able to relieve you from negative emotion long term. They are all quick fixes of relief and in actuality only create more problems down the road. Today I want to talk about a bit more sly hit of dopamine we like to give ourselves and that is “buffering with learning”. We have been taught that knowledge is power. That is only partially true. Knowledge is power only when you put it into action and even when you do that, there is still going to be negative emotion with whatever you are doing. But it’s easy to get caught in the trap of your brain telling you that the reason you can’t go forward is because you don’t have enough knowledge and that lack of knowledge is what will cause you uncomfortable emotions. Come listen to two examples I talk of today about two women who are on opposite sides of the knowledge spectrum and their outcomes. You will be surprised by what you hear. Enjoy!

We are quickly approaching a new year and with a new year comes resolve to do better than the last year. Statistically most of us won't accomplish the goals we set at the beginning of 2019. Why is that? On today's podcast I talk about the only thing you need to succeed at any goal you set - be it in the New Year or at anytime. The great news is that it's nothing you have to buy, it doesn't have anything to do with your talent, and it certainly doesn't have anything to do with how many people like you. It all comes down to one thing, and you are the master of that thing. If you want help with this one thing, be sure to sign up for a free 30 minute session.
