The Single LDS Woman | Loneliness, Self-Confidence, Happiness, Goals, Life Coach

You’re doing everything right—but still single. You’ve prayed. Stayed faithful. Attended BYU. And yet… no husband. No temple sealing. No timeline that makes sense. You sit in church surrounded by couples and families, wondering where you fit—and if you even matter. You’ve heard the talks. You strive to keep the commandments. Tried to stay hopeful. But deep down, you can’t shake the ache: 🌀 Did I miss my chance? 🌀 Am I broken—or worse, forgotten? 🌀 What does this mean for my exaltation… and about my worth? If any of that sounds familiar, you’re not crazy. You’re not broken. And you’re not alone.

In this podcast, you’ll find: ✨ Real talk for LDS singles ✨ Faith-based life coaching grounded in LDS doctrine ✨ Mindset tools that actually work (no toxic positivity here) ✨ Honest conversations about chastity, loneliness, worthiness, and eternal marriage I’m Sharon Lamar—a certified life coach and faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I didn’t get married until I was 52. I know the questions that keep you up at night. I’ve lived the waiting, the wondering, and the quiet heartbreak.

And most of all, you can trust God and trust yourself again. 💡 In this podcast, I’ll teach you how—with proven faith-based tips and tools, self-coaching strategies, and a reminder of who you really are.

Women who get what they want don’t start with more willpower—they start by doing one thing most women avoid.

They ask for help.

In this episode, we’re talking about why asking for help feels so uncomfortable, how your brain quietly tries to talk you into staying comfortable, and why trying to create the life you desire all on your own actually keeps you from doing just that.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly what to d...

And yet… something isn’t moving.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about why trying harder isn’t always the answer—and how expecting perfection might actually be the thing keeping you stuck. We’ll explore what progress really looks like, why being kind to yourself matters more than you think, and how letting go of perfecti...

Let me ask you something.  When things don’t go the way you hoped… a relationship is strained…a door doesn’t open…or life just feels heavier than it should…

What do you make it mean about you?

Because most of the pain women carry isn’t coming from their circumstances. It’s coming from the story they’re telling themselves about who they are because of what’s happening or not happening.

And today, we’re going to talk about identity —...

If you’ve ever stared at your goals and thought, ‘I don’t know how,’ today’s episode is going to change everything. Because the truth is… you do know more than you think.

So, if you’re tire...

Ever wonder why you quit chasing your dreams, or why your goals always seem to stall out? It’s not because you lack motivation. It’s not because you’re incapable, or that you missed your moment.

The real reason we stop pursuing the life we want is because we don’t want to feel the emotions that come with growth — the uncomfortable, awkward, uncertain emotions.

And here’s the part most of us don’t see: feeling emotions isn’t a probl...

Are you using old failures, heartbreaks, or missed opportunities as proof that your future can’t be different?
