Episode 72 | 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.

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

Episode 69 | 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 68 | 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 67 | 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.

Episode 66 | How to Know If You Should Serve a Mission 

How do you know if you should serve an LDS mission? And how do you know what God wants you to do with your life?

In this episode, I share my personal story of wrestling through the decision to serve, the spiritual principles that helped me receive personal revelation, and what I believe is the more important question everyone must answer first: To whom or to what will you give your life?

We talk about trusting God’s timing, overcoming fear and outside pressure, starting down a path even when you don’t have perfect clarity, and learning how to hear the still small voice. Whether you’re considering serving a mission, supporting someone who is, or navigating a completely different life decision, these principles apply far beyond 18 months of service.

Ultimately, this episode isn’t just about whether to go. It’s about building a relationship with God strong enough to guide every decision you’ll ever face, and trusting that when you turn your life over to Him, He will lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.

Episode 65 | How to Help Your Child Become Capable for Life (In Today’s School System)

Four years ago, I said yes to working inside a small, innovative school... and it changed me.

In this episode, I sit down with director Matt Clayton to share what I’ve learned about mastery-based learning, closing academic gaps, math confidence, growth mindset, and raising capable, self-directed kids in a rapidly changing world.

We talk about what’s really happening in modern education, and what actually works.

If you’ve ever felt like school could be more for your child, this conversation is for you.

Episode 64 | Why Presence Matters More Than Perfection

This conversation stayed with me.

Sharon Eubank has spent decades working in humanitarian spaces most of us will never see—and yet what she kept coming back to wasn’t scale, strategy, or perfection.

It was presence.

Trust.

Showing up with what you actually have.

We talked about how God guides us—not loudly, not all at once—but through quiet impressions that ask us to partner with Him.

We talked about rest, and why it’s not optional.

And we talked about service that doesn’t require more money, more time, or a better version of yourself—just honesty and love.

One of the most grounding reminders from this episode:

It’s really hard to mess up presence.

If you’ve been wondering what God wants from you right now…

If you’ve felt overwhelmed by the idea of “doing more” or “doing it right”…

If you’re craving clarity without pressure—

This conversation is for you.

🎧 Sharon Eubank on The Lizzie Jensen Show — now live.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You’re showing up. You’re trying. You’re praying.

And still—it feels quiet.

The older I get, the more I’m convinced those years aren’t wasted.

They’re formative.

They’re the foundation.

In this conversation with Emily Snyder, we talk about a life that didn’t unfold the way it was supposed to—and somehow became richer because of it.

The years of waiting.

The unexpected pivots.

The moments where no one else could walk the road with her, and it became a sacred space between her and God.

Emily has worked alongside some of the most influential leaders of our time—but what moved me most was her trust in the unseen work.

The kind God does underground.

The kind that makes you steady when everything else shifts.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your years of becoming are leading anywhere…

If you’re in a season that feels quiet, slow, or misunderstood…

This episode is for you.

Nothing in God’s timing is wasted.

Not the waiting.

Not the detours.

Not you.

In this heartfelt conversation, Lizzy sits down with Julie Taylor, a writer, mom of five, and soon-to-be author, to talk about the tension between purpose and peace, control and surrender, faith and doubt. Together they unpack what it means to stay faithful while walking an unpaved path, how to build instead of burn, and why satisfaction isn’t found in achievements—but in the quiet moments when you finally let go.

You’ll learn: how to stop chasing validation, why sharing from your scars matters, and how to find beauty in the middle of the climb.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Others are forged in the middle of exhaustion, loss, and showing up anyway.

In this conversation with Tiffany Rosenhaun, we talk about womanhood in its truest form—

the seasons where you are holding everything together,

the nights you’re parenting alone,

the moments when life changes in ways you never planned for.

We talk about friendship that becomes a lifeline.

About faith that holds when answers don’t come quickly.

About creativity born in the margins of motherhood and grief.

And about the way women rise—again and again—when life asks more than feels fair.

This episode is a reminder that the hardest chapters often shape the most meaningful stories.

That community matters.

That vulnerability is not weakness.

And that becoming is almost always born in the unseen places.

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, changed by loss, or strengthened by the women around you—

this one is for you.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I sat down with Bubba Page and we talked about the things we don’t slow down long enough to notice—our reactions, our triggers, the way our bodies respond before our minds catch up.

What happens when we stop judging the reaction…

and start asking God why it showed up?

We talked about fatherhood as a sacred calling.

About men who lead with God.

About women who create space instead of carrying everything alone.

About healing that doesn’t start with fixing someone else, but with getting honest about what’s happening inside of us.

We talked about faith practices that quiet the noise, community that actually holds you, and why Christianity was never meant to be lived in isolation.

This episode is about slowing down enough to listen—to your body, to your spirit, and to God’s invitation to heal what’s underneath the reaction.

If you’ve felt tense, overwhelmed, disconnected, or tired of carrying it all…

this conversation will meet you right where you are.

Elizabeth Borowsky has lived a lifetime in music — performing internationally as a child, building a career as a pianist, teacher, and composer — and then, suddenly, her life changed in a way she never chose.

A cancer diagnosis has a way of stripping things down to what actually matters. Who you are. What you project. What remains when your body, your plans, and your sense of control shift overnight.

In this episode, we talk about identity, presence, surrender, and the quiet realization that who we are is never just what we look like, what we produce, or what we’ve accomplished. We talk about fear, loss, beauty, and the surprising ways growth shows up through trials.

We also share the story behind a meditation album Elizabeth and Jessica created together — music and words born directly from lived experience, not theory.

If you’ve ever had something happen that wasn’t part of your plan…

If you’ve ever wondered who you are when life takes an unexpected turn…

This conversation is for you.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Before the plans.

Before the pressure to become someone new this year.

There’s a quieter question I think we skip too often: What do I actually want?

We live in so much noise — good ideas, better strategies, endless input — and it’s easy to move forward without ever stopping to ask whether the life we’re building is really ours. Whether it’s aligned with who we are, where we are, and what God might be inviting us into right now.

In this episode, I talk about slowing down before the new year rush. About reclaiming your own voice. About learning to tune out what doesn’t matter so you can hear what does. Not so you can do more — but so you can move with clarity, intention, and trust.

If you’ve felt overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about what’s next… this conversation is for you.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, I sit down again with David Butler for a conversation about fear, becoming, and the quiet, holy way God moves people forward. We talk about why fear so often accompanies God’s invitations—and why that fear is not a sign to stop, but a sign to pay attention.

Drawing from the Christmas story, the creation account, and the consistent patterns God has used from the very beginning, this conversation reframes growth, change, and the pressure we feel—especially around a new year. What surprised me most was how much clarity came not from looking ahead, but from looking backward and recognizing where God has already been at work.

This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by expectations, paralyzed by fear, or unsure how to step into what’s next. It’s a reminder that holiness is often found in the ordinary, that growth is meant to be slow, and that God never asks us to move forward without first saying, “Fear not.”

Wherever this episode finds you, let it be a pause.

Let it be perspective.

Let it be permission to see your life through God’s lens—not the world’s.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Read that again. 🫶

In today’s episode, I sit down with Shannon Foster, also known as @theredheadedhostess, and we talk about the fear so many women quietly carry:

“I don’t know enough to teach my kids.”

“I’m not good at the scriptures.”

“Our family scripture time is a mess… am I failing?”

Shannon’s story is the exact opposite of what you’d expect.

She grew up illiterate in the scriptures, sitting in the back of seminary praying she wouldn’t get called on. The idea of reading a verse and then explaining what it meant? Absolutely terrifying.

And yet… God took that exact weakness and turned it into her training ground.

She became a full-time seminary teacher.

She learned how to teach youth who didn’t understand, didn’t feel confident, and didn’t naturally love the scriptures—because that had been her.

And now she’s helped tens of thousands of families learn how to study the scriptures, feel confident in the word of God, and create homes where the gospel feels like an exhale, not a performance.

If you’ve ever wrestled with fear, insecurity, imposter syndrome, or wondered if God still sees you—this conversation will feel like a deep breath.

Today I sit down with the incredible artist and songwriter Ashley Hess.

Her music has moved so many of us, but what I loved most about this conversation is how honest and unpolished it was in the best possible way.

We talk about:

• The surprising truth about fear and calling

• Why your insecurities might actually be pointing toward your purpose

• The story behind her song Yet—born in a moment of deep questioning

• How God meets us in our honesty, not our perfection

• Why vulnerability builds the kind of community our souls crave

• And what it means to follow Jesus when you don’t feel qualified

This episode is an invitation to stop waiting until you feel ready and start trusting that God can use you exactly where you are—questions and all.

If you haven't listened to Ashley’s song Yet yet, go play it after this. Let it meet you right where you’re standing today.

I’m so glad you’re here. 💛

There are some conversations you walk into knowing they’re going to shift something in you—and this was one of them.

Sitting across from Ralphie Jacobs of @simplyonpurpose felt like sitting with quiet, steady, heaven-backed royalty. In this conversation we talk about gentle parenting, how to make the holidays magical without spending a dime, and why motherhood—even in the mess—is one of God’s greatest gifts.

We dive into:

• How to actually enjoy your kids more
• Why looking for what’s going right changes their behavior (and your heart)
• Simple, free ideas to make the holidays feel special
• Social media, callings from God, and knowing when “enough” is enough
• How to teach your children Jesus by being more like Him in your home

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or worried you’re “ruining your kids,” this episode will feel like a deep breath and a gentle reset.

I’m so glad you’re here. 💛

They talk about faith, motherhood, leadership, imposter syndrome, and the myth of “traditional” career paths. Tiffany’s story is proof that movement creates clarity, that emotional intelligence is real leadership, and that the world needs more women who trust their timing.

Today I’m joined by a powerhouse panel from Ampelis Health to talk about the real state of women’s health and what’s actually working:

• Dr. Jessica Jones – Psychiatrist & Medical Director at Ampelis Health
• Tanna Fox – Internationally Certified nutritionist
• Robbie Harmon – President of Ampelis and co-creator of their new Core7 supplement

We talk honestly about why women are more stressed than ever, how that stress shows up in our bodies and brains, and why so much of the advice we’ve been given (hello, intermittent fasting) was built on research that didn’t even include women.

You’ll hear a grounded, hopeful conversation about when medication is essential—and when lifestyle, food, and spiritual practices can be the strongest medicine of all. We go deep on movement, protein, fiber, gut health, sleep, Sabbath rest, and why a well-nourished mother is one of the most powerful forces in society.

Episode 48 | Why Your Child’s Anxiety Isn’t the Problem

What if anxiety isn’t something to avoid… but something to understand?

In this powerful conversation, Lizzy sits down with researcher Melanie Jensen to unpack one of the biggest lies many of us grew up believing—that some people just “aren’t math people.” And why that belief may be holding you (and your kids) back more than you realize.

Quotes:

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words. Victor Hugo

Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. Khalil Gibran

Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks, and invents. Ludwig van Beethoven

Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue. Plato

Music cleanses the understanding; inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself. Henry Ward Beecher

Music has the power to provide spiritual nourishment. It has healing power. It has the power to facilitate worship; it allows us to contemplate the [Savior’s] Atonement…Music provides power for us to express prayerful thoughts and bear testimony of sacred truths. Russell M. Nelson

Children can learn the doctrine when they’re learning to sing just as much as they can learn the doctrine in a class. Russell M. Nelson

Primary songs are not simply a nice part of our religious tradition. They are sermons for disciples of Jesus Christ, testimonies to the truthfulness of the restored gospel, and prayers set to music. Sacred music can shine the Light of Christ on the hearer and can pour into the heart of the singer. Tracy Y. Browning

In this honest and faith-filled conversation, Amber Dawn Pierce shares her journey from striving and self-doubt to peace, purpose, and a deeper relationship with God.

This episode is a gentle invitation to let go of the pressure, release the checklist, and come back to a relationship with Christ that is rooted in grace, not performance. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or spiritually stuck—this one is for you.

Episode 45 | Sunday Sermon #1: What It Really Means to Be a Peacemaker

This episode marks the beginning of Lizzy’s new Sunday Sermon series—a short, intentional space to reconnect with God and reflect on what matters most.

In this first message, Lizzy explores the idea of peacemaking—not just as avoiding conflict, but as something deeper and more transformative. She shares how the concept of shalom has expanded her understanding of peace into something more whole, more healing, and more Christlike.

Through personal reflection, spiritual insight, and ideas inspired by recent study, Lizzy invites you to consider where you’re holding onto resentment, where you feel justified in your hurt, and what it might look like to choose a different way.

This episode is an invitation to soften your heart, seek reconciliation, and step into a deeper kind of peace.

You’ll get: simple prompts, scriptures to study, and a fresh lens for tricky relationships.

Episode 44 | How to Trust Yourself (Even When You Feel Unsure)

I didn’t like the idea that my life was being ruled by something that happened to me. Then I met Slade Combs—a former Madison Avenue creative who spent 20+ years decoding fear to move billion-dollar markets—and this conversation flipped everything. Slade explains how one unconscious childhood fear quietly drives our choices…and how inverting it reveals a lifelong, portable purpose that fuels clarity, courage, and real momentum.

In this episode, I share why I delayed my season launch to apply this work, how it’s changing my home and my work, and simple ways you can start activating your purpose today.

What you’ll learn

• The single fear that hijacks decisions (and why it doesn’t feel like fear)

• How “inversion” exposes a neurological pathway to your purpose

• Why purpose is a virtue that travels with you through every role

• How to spot self-sabotage as a safety mechanism

• Small daily reps to build a purpose-driven life

If this helped you, subscribe, leave a comment with your biggest takeaway, and share it with a friend who’s in a season of transition. 💛

Season 2 Episode 1 | When the World Feels Heavy: A Conversation on Faith and Clarity

Season 2 is here—and Lizzy is starting with a deeply personal “State of the Union.”

In this episode, she reflects on the past few months and the sense that something in the world—and in all of us—has shifted. She shares why reflection has become such a powerful practice in her life, how it brings clarity in uncertain seasons, and what it’s taught her about moving forward with intention.

Lizzy also opens up about the heaviness so many are feeling right now, the importance of knowing where you stand, and how to stay grounded in truth, faith, and purpose when things feel chaotic.

More than anything, this episode is a reminder that you’re not here by accident. You’re allowed to feel the weight of what’s happening—and still move forward with courage, clarity, and hope.

Season 2, Episode 43 | When Should Kids Get a Phone? (And How to Set Boundaries That Work)

Technology isn’t going anywhere—but that doesn’t mean it gets to take over your family.

In this episode, Lizzy is joined by Andrea Davis of Better Screen Time for a practical and honest conversation about parenting in a world of phones, social media, and constant access. Andrea shares her own experience of getting it wrong at first, and what it looked like to reset, repair, and move forward with intention.

Together, they talk about how to set boundaries with your kids without damaging the relationship, how to know when your child is actually ready for a device, and what red flags to watch for along the way.

This episode is full of simple, actionable ideas—but more than anything, it’s a reminder that you are still the parent, you still have a voice, and it’s never too late to lead with clarity and confidence.

Lizzy highlights Ishmael, or In the Depths by E.D.E.N. Southworth — a forgotten classic about courage and perseverance — alongside The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, a powerful invitation to slow down and reclaim what matters most. She also dives into the Emma M. Lion series by Beth Brower, celebrating humor, authenticity, and rich friendships, before rounding out the list with the 1828 edition of Noah Webster’s American Dictionary of the English Language, exploring how words can anchor truth and faith in a noisy world.

Through personal stories of reading alone in a childhood treehouse to simplifying her modern life, Lizzy reflects on why these books still spark courage, curiosity, and purpose. She reminds listeners that growth is never a quick chapter — but a story built page by page.

What follows is one of Lizzy’s most empowering episodes to date - a masterclass on how to work with fear rather than against it. She breaks down why fear always shows up when you’re stepping into growth, and why it isn’t a stop sign, but a signal that something important is stirring.

Lizzy shares a practical decision making checklist to help listeners clarify their next steps, along with personal stories of her own moments of uncertainty; from starting a faith-based blog after law school to re-entering the public space after years away. Through it all, she offers powerful reminders: fear means you care, perfection is not the goal, and momentum only comes after you act.

Whether you’re starting a business, a creative pursuit, or a new chapter in your life, this episode is for anyone standing at the edge of something meaningful and wondering if they’re ready.

In this deeply personal episode of Lean In with Lizzy, Lizzy takes on a topic she’s long resisted discussing—prejudice against her faith as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She opens up about her own experiences with religious bias, from being physically attacked as a missionary to witnessing discrimination in business and media.

Lizzy explores the broader implications of religious intolerance, questioning why public outcry is selective when it comes to faith-based discrimination. She unpacks the stereotypes perpetuated in media, including recent portrayals in film and television that distort and demean Latter-day Saints.

But this isn’t just about one faith—it’s about the growing divide in how we treat people of all beliefs. Lizzy challenges listeners to rethink their own biases and invites an open, interfaith conversation on how we can build bridges instead of walls.

If you’ve ever felt your faith was misrepresented or dismissed, this episode will resonate with you.
