#15 Part 3 The Inherent power within every Woman in Zion.
Welcome back, friends! I'm so excited to kick off Season 2 of Hope Smiling Brightly with the final part of this powerful series on what it really means to be a woman in Zion. In this episode, we’re diving into the the second word I found repeated over and over again in reference to women — how it’s woven into who we are as daughters of God, how it shows up in scripture, and why it’s so needed in the world right now.We'll explore some beautiful symbolism from the parable of the ten virgins, talk about what it means to “trim your lamp,” and how to use your unique gifts, experiences, and covenants to truly shine with Christ’s light. Whether you're a mom, single, newly discovering your identity, or just needing some encouragement — this one’s for YOU.🚢 Upcoming Event: Alaska Cruise 2026!Guess what?!

#14 PART 2 Stepping into your powerful and majestic role as a Woman in Zion
This is part 2 in a series where we explore divine truths of what it is to be a woman in Zion. How do I discover my unique role as a woman in God’s plan? How do I explain to my daughter why she can’t hold the priesthood? How do I overcome doubt of my value as a woman in the church? I try to address these and other concerns in this episode as I focus on this important truth... We cannot see our unique role if we are focused on or comparing to the role of someone else, male or female.Come with me on an Alaskan cruise!

#13 PART 1 The powerful and majestic role of Women in Zion.
The Powerful and Majestic Role of a Woman in ZionTo be able to see our role clearly as Women in Zion and step into that role fully is to bring the power of Jesus Christ into our lives. But with the influence of the world, our view can get muddied. In this episode I get a little vulnerable and share an experience where God corrected my view and and showed me something much more majestic. The Spirit taught me something about the role of women that no one has been able to explain to me in quite the same way. I hope I am able to convey it with the same power here because it has changed me.Follow me @amberdawnpearce on all social media platformsCome with me on an Alaskan cruise!

About Hope Smiling Brightly with Amber Dawn Pearce
I had a wonderful and unique upbringing raised off grid by addict hippies who converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We ending up becoming a family of 15 including 8 adopted siblings. Yep, I know what it’s like to live in a home with dirt floors, and no plumbing or electricity. Oh I’ve got stories. You’ll hear a lot of them here. But the most important thing I share is what my life has taught me about the power of Jesus Christ. That answer you've been seeking. That change you've hoped for. That struggle you want to overcome. The goal you want to reach. It is all in Jesus Christ. Christ can be your coach, your mentor, your motivational speaker, your healer. After living a life seeking hope and help from every solution out there I finally learned how to access the power of change through Christ.
