In this episode, we go beyond body positivity to explore a gospel-centered view of body image. Through doctrine, personal reflection, and lived experience, we examine why receiving a body is central to God’s plan, how cultural messages shape the way we see ourselves, and what it means to be a faithful steward, rather than a critic, of our body. If you’ve struggled with comparison, aging, postpartum changes, or negative thoughts about your appearance, this conversation invites you to realign your relationship with your body through the lens of Jesus Christ and restored truth.
Down the Well Podcast - Episode 2: Motherhood Will Break You — And That’s a Good Thing
Motherhood doesn’t always come naturally, and the constant busyness of life can make it hard to feel present, peaceful, or spiritually connected. In this episode of Measure of Her Creation, I sit down with meditation coach and mother of five Jesika Harmon to talk about stillness, mindfulness, and learning to hear God in the midst of everyday family life. We explore how meditation fits within Latter-day Saint doctrine, why stillness matters for revelation, and how shifting our perspective can change the emotional culture of our homes.

When Jesus called us to be peacemakers, He wasn’t describing the quiet, conflict-avoiding version most of us grew up practicing. In this episode, I talk with peacemaking consultant Maybree Spilsbury about the real work of peacemaking—how it begins inside of us and how it can transform conflict instead of avoiding it. We explore the difference between conflict and contention, how Christ modeled active peace, and what practical steps help us build peace in our families, wards, and communities.

So many of us are running through life trying to prove we’re “enough” as mothers, disciples of Jesus Christ, and women. But what if chasing enoughness is keeping us stuck in shame and exhaustion rather than helping us be all we want to be? In this episode, we talk about where the belief “I am not enough” comes from, why the mantra “you are enough” can’t fully heal it, and the freeing spiritual truth that Christ, not our perfection, makes us whole.
Friendsgiving Part 2: When someone you love leaves the Church, it can stir up grief, confusion, and love that’s hard to untangle. In this episode of Measure of Her Creation, I sit down with a friend who has left the Church to explore how to hold onto friendship and stay grounded when faith paths diverge. It’s a conversation about empathy, curiosity, and learning to stay connected through shared humanity and grace, even when beliefs differ.
Friendsgiving Part 1: Making friends as adults can feel impossible, especially when you’re packing up every few years, juggling little ones, and trying to build a sense of home from scratch. In this episode, I talk with a military wife and mom about the lonely parts of motherhood, the courage it takes to reach out (again), and how God meets us where we are through the people He places right in front of us.
Birth changes everything about your body, heart, and spirit. In this episode, I talk with a midwife who’s seen how God shows up in the laboring room and in the hearts of the women she serves. Together we explore how birth can become a place of revelation, courage, and deep transformation—a space where you have to dig deep and where we can come to know Christ in an even more personal way.
In the middle of the mess, the waiting, and the many drafts on the drawing board for what your life should look like lies the greatest gift—it is where you find God and who He wants you to become. On Measure of Her Creation, we talk about how female disciples follow Him, not only on the covenant path but on the personal, revelatory journey only God could see for you.
Welcome to Measure of Her Creation where we celebrate and explore the many facets of being female disciples of Jesus Christ. We will dig into the beautiful nuances of being Latter-day Saints and hear stories of how women are hearing Him and walking faithful yet diverse paths that only revelation from God could lead them to.
