  • 240. Healing Through Forgiveness with the Sister Connection
    Apr 13 2026

    Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.

    Some pain doesn’t feel forgivable.
    Not because you don’t want peace… but because it feels unfair to let it go.

    In this Sister Connection episode, two women share what it actually looks like to wrestle with forgiveness when the hurt runs deep.

    One is navigating forgiveness after years of abuse from her mother.
    The other is grieving the loss of her 17-year-old daughter from a preventable accident.

    This isn’t surface-level “just forgive and move on.”
    This is about what happens when anger, grief, faith, and healing all collide.

    One takeaway:
    Forgiveness isn’t about excusing what happened. It’s about choosing what you carry forward… and what you finally set down.

  • 239. Forgiveness Without Excusing the Hurt
    Apr 6 2026

    Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.

    Forgiveness gets talked about a lot.

    But for many women, it feels like pressure. Like you’re supposed to “move on” from something that still hurts… or make peace with something that never felt okay in the first place.

    In this episode, we’re clearing that up.

    You’ll learn what forgiveness actually is… what it is not… and how to begin releasing the weight of resentment without minimizing your pain or removing wise boundaries.

    Because healing doesn’t come from pretending it didn’t hurt.

    It comes from finally giving your heart permission to stop carrying it alone.

    There’s also a free worksheet linked for you to process this at your own pace.

    If this topic has ever felt confusing, heavy, or impossible… come take a listen!

  • 238. After the Kids Grow Up: Reclaiming YOU With Dr. Christy Kane
    Mar 23 2026

    Send us a text message if you have a question you want answered on the podcast.

    There’s a moment many women don’t see coming.

    The house gets quieter.
    The kids grow up.
    Roles begin to shift.

    And suddenly you find yourself wondering:

    Who am I now?

    For years you’ve poured your heart into motherhood, marriage, family, and service. And while those things matter deeply, they can quietly become the only place your identity lives.

    So when life transitions happen, it can feel disorienting. Lonely. Even a little scary.

    In this episode, psychologist Dr. Christy Kane and I talk about what it looks like to rediscover yourself during seasons of change.

    We talk about the emotions many women experience but rarely say out loud. The quiet grief. The anxiety. The sense of losing yourself.

    But we also talk about something hopeful.

    Rebuilding identity.
    Protecting yourself.
    And learning how to create purpose again without abandoning the faith and values that matter most.

    If you’re in a season of change or can feel one coming, this conversation might be exactly what your heart needs.

In this podcast, Niki talks about so many good things! In single episodes, she has a specific topic and talks about it in depth while also maintaining a concise manner. I love her thoughts and how clear her dedication to the gospel is in her content.

My sister invited me to join a 5 day group led by Niki Olsen. That is where I found out about her podcast "Meaningful Minutes." Listening has changed the way I think about scripture study...no longer a checklist , but a way to power! Each podcast is short and easy to listen to and has great insights as well as action items to help you work toward change!

Jumpstart your scripture study, give it new life!

I love myself a good podcast but with kids, running a business, and the taxi service that motherhood is, I rarely have enough time to finish one. Now I can! I love that it really is just a few minutes buts it's packed with knowledge, spiritual thoughts, and mental health tips. Just a few minutes each Monday and I feel encouraged to start a new week of running around.

Actual minutes that mean something.
