In the Family

Today, I’m chatting with my cousin, Jonah! Does he drop some truth bombs about middle school friendships? Yes. But does he even know what a flash mob is?! Nope. Now you tell me which is more important… Anyway, come and hang out with me as I try to understand the mysteries of the teenage boy. Feelings and friends and fears, oh my! Enjoy!

Today, I am chatting with my almost-an-adult cousin, Josie! We start the episode by roasting Skyler. What’s new? Once we stop being bullies, we laugh a lot, talk about what it’s like being a teenager in the year of our Lord 2024, and laugh some more. BRB, I’m ordering Josie a Tamagotchi. Enjoy!

Today, I'm chatting with my cousin AnnaLeah, the soon-to-be mom, ex-dolphin researcher, birthday girl, and doctor. Also, sorry I called you old Paul (AnnaLeah's husband, but you should know that if you listen to the episode). You're not old. Just older than me. Anyway, I hope you walk away from this episode feeling a little braver. You can do hard things! Prove them wrong! Prove yourse...

It’s the unfiltered me answering your (aka my mom’s) Ask Me Anything questions! White lies, bad advice, friendship, etc. Thanks so much for supporting my podcast!! Share an episode you like with a friend; that would mean a lot to me. Enjoy!

You’re in for a short and sweet treat!! Today, Skyler and I are reading YOUR stories, and they don’t disappoint. There’s a fugitive, barfing, and a fart jar. Oh, and we reminisce on Loin Cloth Guy from our last Grand Canyon trip. Enjoy!

Today, I’m chatting with my cousin Estee! She’s hilarious and wise, and she used to be a puppy named Rachel. We start goofy, and honestly, her vote of confidence on Totino’s pizza rolls is enough for a brand deal, imo. As we dive into the episode, she shares her story about her mental health crisis and her journey moving forward. I’m grateful to Estee for sharing all of this in a vulnerable, hones...

Today, I’m chatting with my cousin, Maya. We answer some crucial questions… What’s her beef with my brother Thomas? Why does she only eat chicken and bread? Why is she always cold? Why is she not into kissing? We also hear about her first date and kiss and discuss her relationship with her boyfriend, Adam. If there’s one thing I love, it’s talking about love! Remember, don’t settle for less than y...

Today, my cousin Daniel and I give a hot-button topic our best shot! He beautifully shares his story about leaving Mormonism (death by a thousand cuts) and how he ultimately aligned with his most authentic self (”What do I have left after Mormonism?”). We also discuss faith versus logic, evolution and the Mitt Romney of it all, and our feelings about a just God. Most importantly, our shared belief...

Class is in session! Today, I am chatting with my cousin Sierra about being a high school English teacher. Miss Olsen is the MVP at helping students appreciate the coolness of reading, treating them like REAL human beings, and creating a haven where laughter is allowed in the classroom. Maybe she’ll be the next famous TikTok teacher? But first, we reminisce about her pogo-stick skills and how much...

Today, I’m back with my cousin Pearl for part two! Pearl tells me how Mormonism fueled her feminism, why she loved being a “Colorado Mormon,” and her gratitude for her ongoing faith transition. Plus, we discuss how personal and beautiful faith is and how Uncle Adam and Grandpa bookended her depressive episode. Check out her art account that illuminates the joy and light in everyday, mundane life....

Today, I'm welcoming another angry feminist who can appreciate an excellent loafer to the pod! Pearl and I chat about all things family, including what it is like for her to have a brother with a disability. Plus, you'll learn my mom's favorite catchphrase and how old her sister Bela REALLY is. Bonus: Listen closely to hear a Wishbone the dog cameo. Enjoy!

We made it, folks, to episode ten! Today, I chatted with my cousin-in-law Katie about her and Daniel’s love story. But first, we hear about her first kiss and first date and how she told her family she was leaving the Mormon church. (It’s You’ve Got Mail coded FYI). I love love, and especially theirs. Enjoy!

On today’s episode, I talk with my mom about the loss of her brother, Adam. We discuss the grief of losing a loved one, death by suicide, and how to find help if you’re in a crisis. Join me and my family in raising awareness about suicide by having an open dialogue with your loved ones. Thanks for listening! Are you in a crisis? Call or text TALK (988) to 741741 Visit 988lifeline.org (National Sui...

It’s the ol’ switcharoo! Today, Skyler is taking the reins and interviewing yours truly. It’s a hodgepodge of topics from doggos to baby names. Plus, the age-old question… Why does the universe hate introverts?! Enjoy!

Today, Noah and I have a beautiful conversation about coming out, the LDS faith, and the strength of loving relationships. Honestly, this conversation reconnected us in a way I didn’t expect! I have so much love and respect for Noah, and I’m so grateful he was willing to share his story with me. Enjoy! Check out @inthefamily_podcast on Instagram to see the iconic dock photo...

Today, I’m hanging out with my bestie, Andi. This might be my favorite episode yet! First, we talk about all things dating. Need to get out of a dud date? Andi has got you covered. Want to chat about Love is Blind or The Ultimatum? Andi is your girl. We wrap up our convo with our most embarrassing stories. And yes, Mom and Dad, I tell the cereal one. Enjoy!

Get ready to turn back time with my grandma on today’s episode. I learned that she can outsmart a bull, isn’t a huge fan of her first name, and my fear of snakes is hereditary. Also, she’s hilarious and the best kind of grandma (honest and makes great food). Enjoy!

Today, my dad and I discuss his unique talent of reading and watching TV simultaneously, the soundtrack to our backpacking death march, and whether or not he could hack it on Survivor. Plus, he answers my most burning question (that I didn’t even know I had): Why hasn’t he written a book? Enjoy!

On today’s episode, Thomas and I discuss his time living in Chile and whether or not he loves eating chicken feet. He answers my most burning questions, like what happens when a gringo drinks the water, and do the stray dogs only attack the white boys? Enjoy!

Today, I hang out with my mom and discuss her experience with the pregnancy and birth of her favorite child…. ME! Plus, she drops some truth bombs about raising kids and reminds me of the importance of letting go of expectations. Enjoy!

Welcome to the first episode of In the Family! Chatting with my number one guy on episode number one seemed fitting. Listen in as we tell our story: how we met, who went in for the first kiss, and whether or not Skyler moved to Utah to date me. Enjoy!
