  • 246. Temple Sealings After Divorce: What Happens to Your Eternal Blessings?

    246. Temple Sealings After Divorce: What Happens to Your Eternal Blessings?
    Oct 12 2026
    You kept your covenants. You gave your marriage your all. So when your temple marriage ends in divorce, what happens to the eternal blessings you were promised? In this follow-up to my episode on temple sealing cancellations, we explore Elder David A. Bednar’s October 2026 General Conference message, “Sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise,” and the hope it offers those navigating divorce, betrayal, and questions about eternal families. We’ll discuss the two aspects of the sealing ordinance, the difference between divorce and a sealing cancellation, and what the Church teaches about children’s blessings after their parents’ sealing is canceled. We’ll also make room for the grief, loneliness, and unanswered questions that can remain—even when you trust God. If you’re wondering, “I kept my covenants. What happens now?” this conversation is for you. Your questions deserve compassion, and your healing matters today.

  • 245. I Prayed for an Answer About Divorce… and Felt More Confused

    245. I Prayed for an Answer About Divorce… and Felt More Confused
    Oct 5 2026
    Have you been praying for an answer about your marriage or divorce and still don’t know what to do? Maybe you’ve asked God whether you should stay, leave, keep trying, or let go. Maybe you thought you received an answer, but you don’t like it. Or maybe you feel like you know what God is asking you to do, but you’re afraid to act on it. In this episode, Jenn explores what the Bible teaches us about receiving answers from God and why His direction doesn’t look the same for everyone. Through the stories of Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Paul, Joseph, and even Jesus Christ, you’ll see that sometimes God says go, sometimes He says wait, sometimes He invites us to rest, and sometimes He gives us enough light for only the next step. You’ll also learn why someone else’s revelation about their marriage or divorce is not necessarily the answer for yours, how to keep seeking God when clarity doesn’t come quickly, and different questions you can bring to Him when “Should I stay or should I go?” doesn’t seem to be getting an answer. If you’re stuck in the messy middle, waiting for clarity, afraid of the answer, or wondering if God is even hearing you, this episode offers hope: you don’t have to see the entire road to take the next faithful step.

  • 244. 5 Lies Divorce Makes You Believe About Yourself

    244. 5 Lies Divorce Makes You Believe About Yourself
    Sep 28 2026
    5 Lies Divorce Makes You Believe About Yourself What if some of the most painful things you believe about your divorce aren't actually true? After reading thousands of comments and having countless conversations with people navigating divorce, I've noticed something interesting. Different people, different marriages, different circumstances, but so many of the same painful beliefs. "I'll never trust again." "My kids are ruined." "God abandoned me." "My marriage failed because I wasn't enough." "I'll always be alone." Sound familiar? In this episode of Find the Joy with Jenn, we're unpacking five common beliefs that can keep you stuck in shame, fear, and hopelessness after divorce. I'll coach you through each one and help you recognize the difference between what happened to you and what you've made it mean about yourself. We'll explore how to rebuild trust, release guilt about your children, reconnect with God when your prayers weren't answered the way you hoped, and stop allowing your divorce to define your worth or determine your future. Your divorce may have changed your life, but it doesn't get to decide who you are or what happens next. Whether you're navigating separation, healing after divorce, or rebuilding your life and faith, this conversation will help you begin questioning the beliefs keeping you from moving forward. You can grieve what you've lost, trust God with what you don't understand, and still find joy in the journey. Ready for more support on your healing journey?

  • 243. Can Trust Be Rebuilt After Betrayal with Geoff Steurer

    243. Can Trust Be Rebuilt After Betrayal with Geoff Steurer
    Sep 21 2026
    What happens when the person you trusted most breaks that trust? Can a marriage heal after betrayal? How do you know if you're seeing genuine change or just hearing more promises? In this episode of Find the Joy with Jenn, Jenn sits down with licensed marriage and family therapist Geoff Steurer, who has more than 25 years of experience helping individuals and couples heal from betrayal, trauma, and disconnection. Together, they talk about what rebuilding trust actually requires, why forgiveness doesn't automatically mean trust or reconciliation, how to recognize genuine accountability and change, and what healthy boundaries can look like after betrayal. They also discuss how to rebuild trust in yourself, what to consider when you're unsure whether to stay or leave, and how faith can support healing while still making room for therapy, accountability, and personal responsibility. And for those whose marriages didn't survive betrayal, Geoff shares insight into healing without the answers, apology, or closure you hoped to receive, and learning to trust again moving forward. Whether you're fighting for your marriage, deciding what comes next, or rebuilding your life after divorce, this conversation will help you better understand what healing and healthy trust can look like.

  • 242. What My Injury Taught Me About Healing After Divorce

    242. What My Injury Taught Me About Healing After Divorce
    Sep 14 2026
    Can you be hurting more than you realize, even when you think you’re doing okay? After months of pushing through recurring plantar fasciitis, my plantar fascia suddenly ruptured on the pickleball court. One minute I was playing the match of my life, and the next I couldn’t walk. Now I’m in a boot, on a scooter, and being forced to slow down and let my body heal. And it got me thinking about divorce. So many of us learn how to function through pain. We work, parent, go to church, exercise, take care of everyone else, and keep moving forward. We tell ourselves we’re fine because we’re still functioning. But underlying pain doesn’t always disappear just because we’ve learned how to live with it. In this episode, I’m sharing what my injury is teaching me about recognizing the warning signs, getting the right help, and the important difference between managing pain and actually healing. We’ll also talk about how prolonged divorce stress can affect your physical and emotional health, why support matters, and how faith, professional help, and divorce coaching can help you take your next right step. You don’t have to wait until something in your life “pops” to decide it deserves your attention.

  • 241. Why Faithful Women Stay in Unhappy Marriages

    241. Why Faithful Women Stay in Unhappy Marriages
    Sep 7 2026
    Why do so many faithful Christian and Latter-day Saint women feel trapped in unhappy marriages, even when they deeply believe in marriage, family, and honoring their covenants? Sometimes it’s finances. Sometimes it’s children, geography, fear of starting over, spiritual pressure, or worrying about what other people will think. And sometimes, without even realizing it, a woman can begin to believe, “I don’t have a choice.” In this episode of Find the Joy with Jenn, we’re talking about the difference between choosing to stay in your marriage and believing you have no choice but to stay. We’ll explore some of the hidden reasons women feel stuck, how controlling behaviors can slowly affect your sense of self, and why recognizing your agency doesn’t automatically mean leaving your marriage. You can love God, honor your covenants, believe deeply in marriage, and still be honest about what isn’t working. You can work on your marriage while also becoming stronger, wiser, more confident, and more connected to God.

    240. You Don’t Need More Divorce Advice. You Need This
    Aug 31 2026
    What are the questions about divorce you’re afraid to say out loud? Will I ever love again? Did God want my divorce? Should I have stayed longer? Could I have done more? Can my marriage still be saved? Will my children resent me? What if I’m actually happier divorced? And will I ever recognize myself again? In this episode of Find the Joy with Jenn, we’re talking honestly about some of the hardest questions Christian and Latter-day Saint men and women face before, during, and after divorce. There aren’t always simple answers. But there are healthier questions we can ask, lessons we can learn, and ways to move forward without abandoning our faith or spending years second-guessing the past. We’ll talk about reconciliation, regret, dating your ex, children and divorce, finding love again, rebuilding your identity, and most importantly, learning to trust God when your life looks nothing like you thought it would. Divorce may be part of your story, but it does not get to write the final chapter. God has not given up on you, and your best days do not have to be behind you. Listen now and share this episode with someone who may be asking these same questions.
