Episode 85 | How to Cope With Losing a Child: Finding Hope Through Grief

How can you lose someone you love and still believe that God is good? Five months after a devastating car accident that took the life of her 13-year-old son, Parker, my friend Marla Gale joins me for an extraordinary conversation about faith, grief, and the presence of God in our hardest moments. Marla shares the beautiful life Parker lived, the spiritual impressions her family experienced before the accident, and the remarkable circumstances that helped save her life. She also explains why her grief has been accompanied by unexpected hope, what she believes about life after death, and why she feels more certain than ever that every life has a purpose. This episode is a deeply personal testimony of God's love, even when life doesn't make sense.

Episode 84 | When Life Doesn't Go as Planned: Trusting God With Your Next Chapter

After eight years and roughly 330 interviews hosting the All In podcast, Morgan Jones Pearson has spent more time than most asking people about faith, suffering, happiness, and what matters most. Now, as she prepares to close that chapter and embrace a new season of motherhood, I'm turning the questions back on her. We talk about whether faith really makes us happier, why questioning God can be part of spiritual growth, what she's learned from people who've experienced unimaginable loss, and how to navigate relationships when family members believe differently. Morgan also opens up about the experiences that tested her own faith and what being “all in” means to her today. It's a thoughtful conversation about trusting God, letting go of expectations, and finding purpose in the life unfolding in front of you.

What if you don't need to change the world to make a meaningful difference? As Season 3 begins, I'm sharing why I questioned whether to return to the podcast, what I've been thinking about the choices facing women today, and why I believe it's time to move beyond talking about our problems and start building something better. Through the remarkable story of Antonina Żabińska, who helped rescue hundreds of people during World War II, we'll explore what it means to use the resources, relationships, and opportunities already in front of us. Whether you're a student, a mother, or entering an entirely new season of life, this episode is an invitation to stop feeling powerless and start making a difference right where you are.

Episode 79 | Why People Are Choosing Not to Have Kids: What the Research Says About Family, Happiness, and Meaning

What if one of the biggest ideas modern culture has sold us about happiness is actually wrong?

In this episode, Lizzy sits down with Jenet Erickson to unpack one of the biggest cultural shifts happening right now: fewer people are getting married, fewer people are having children, and more people feel lonely, disconnected, and unsure of their purpose.

But here’s the surprising part: the research tells a very different story than what we’re hearing online.

They talk about:

– Why birth rates are declining around the world

– Why you can’t simply pay people to have kids (and why it hasn’t worked)

– What actually predicts long-term happiness and fulfillment

– Why modern culture may be leading women away from what they want most

– The real impact of marriage and motherhood on women

– Why relationships, not independence, are at the center of a meaningful life

This isn’t a surface-level conversation. It’s a deep, honest look at what we’ve been told… and what might actually be true.

Episode 71 | The Power of One: How Your Life Shapes the Future

What if how you’re living your life is changing the world… quietly?

Kim Thatcher shares a story of faith, endurance, and generational impact—one that began in hardship and became something extraordinary through courage, sacrifice, and belief.

This conversation is a reminder that even when life doesn’t go the way you planned, it can still go somewhere deeply good. That your choices matter. That your story matters.

And that one life—your life—can change everything.

Episode 69 | For The Women Who Build: Why Meaning Matters More Than Success

This episode is a reset—a reminder of why this podcast exists and who it’s really for.

Lizzy shares a personal reflection on the women she feels called to serve: the builders. The ones quietly creating meaningful lives through family, faith, work, and service.

She also introduces a new initiative, “Share Good, Do Good,” where every podcast download contributes $1 to a cause that supports women, along with a new way for listeners to call in and shape future episodes.

This episode ends with a heartfelt Easter message about love, sacrifice, and seeing your life—and your work—through a more meaningful lens.

If you’ve been wondering if what you’re doing matters… this one is for you.

Episode 68 | The Science of Satisfaction (And Why You Rarely Feel It)

Have you ever finished a full day… and still felt like something was missing?

In this episode, Lizzy shares a realization she’s been sitting with for months: that so much of what we’re feeling—numbness, overwhelm, even anxiety—might come from something simple we’ve lost… natural pauses.

She reflects on how life used to have built-in rhythms—times to stop, reflect, and feel satisfaction—and how today, everything is always available, always on, always moving. And without those natural endings, we rarely take time to actually feel the life we’re living.

Lizzy shares what she’s been doing to change that—simple practices like seasonal resets, monthly focus, and capturing the moments that matter most.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, look back, and start creating a life that you don’t just live—but actually feel.

Episode 67 | Preparing for the Realities of Missionary Life

This episode wraps up Lizzy’s three-part series on preparing for missionary service.

In this conversation, Lizzy shares the realities of missionary life and the lessons she wishes she had understood before serving. Drawing from the experiences of hundreds of returned missionaries, she explores the four challenges that come up most often: navigating companionships, feeling like you’re not good enough, dealing with emotional and physical exhaustion, and learning how to connect with people.

Along the way, Lizzy shares personal stories from her mission, practical preparation ideas, and reflections on the deeper purpose of missionary work.

She also opens up about one of her biggest realizations looking back on her mission: how much joy God intended for that season of discipleship. From small miracles to simple moments of laughter and connection, Lizzy encourages future missionaries to notice the joy that exists alongside the challenges of serving the Lord.

Episode 66 | Preparing for an LDS Mission: Faith, Readiness, and Discipleship

This episode is Part Two of Lizzy’s series about serving an LDS mission.

Last week, Lizzy talked about how to know whether you should serve. In this episode, she turns to the next question: how do you actually prepare?

Lizzy shares the spiritual frameworks that shaped her own mission experience and continue to shape her discipleship today. Through scripture stories, personal reflection, and practical encouragement, she explores why God qualifies those He calls, how Jesus Christ modeled the pattern for spiritual growth, and how missionaries can learn to become instruments in God’s hands.

If you’re preparing for a mission, considering serving, or simply trying to grow closer to God, this episode offers perspective, reassurance, and a reminder that discipleship is a lifelong journey—not just an 18-month assignment.
