Eleah Boyd is wife to her best friend and mom to their five fabulous children (plus one in heaven). She is a daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and a soon-to-be grandma! She and her husband have worked together in business for their entire 28-year marriage and she wouldn’t have it any other way. She enjoys helping others achieve their goals and follow their dreams. Eleah loves the gospel of Jesus Christ. She counts it as one of her great privileges to be an ordinance worker in the Houston Temple, where she gets to see the power of temple blessings working in people’s lives. She recently received her bachelor’s degree in Marriage and Family Studies from BYU-Idaho. Currently, she is working on letting God prevail in her life, facing each day with optimism, and not biting her fingernails. She would like her headstone to read simply, “She gave great hugs!”

And that’s exactly what hosts Miya and Michelle plan on doing with Dr. LaShawn as they address shame and poverty in this episode.

The music is both soothing and powerful, and the entire family was involved in creating it.

Hope and infertility. Two words that don’t always go together in this world. But, for one couple, hope came at the end of a long struggle with the dark cloud of infertility. And for them, it brought with it peace and a strengthened testimony of Jesus Christ and the hope He gives to all who seek it. It was the kind of hope that gave Sally and Ryan Paskins new life, literally and figuratively.
