Imperfectly Broken The Podcast

Religion EN ↓ 245 episodes

Being human means being imperfect. It means making mistakes — but also loving, laughing, learning, growing, changing, and truly living . Being human means you matter . It means you have infinite value.  This podcast is all about embracing the human experience, especially the beauty of imperfection. Our weaknesses give us the chance to grow and turn them into strengths.   Being human is a life full of stories, relationships, faith, and growth. Psychology helps us better understand what it means to be human, and I love sharing insights and lessons I learn along the way. I am a member of the Chur...

235 Carter Roundy’s Weekly Spiritual Thoughts (Weeks 1-24) 17.06.2026

In this episode, Carter recorded 24 of his weekly spiritual thoughts that he has been sending since coming home from his mission. I still get one in my email inbox once a week, and they’re always so good. I reached out to Carter and asked him if he’d be willing to record them for me to post on my podcast, and he agreed! I can’t wait for you to hear all his insights and thoughts. The other episode...

233 A Pre-Mission Interview With My Brother (feat. Corwin Nielson) 03.06.2026

In this episode, I interview my 18 year-old brother who is about to serve a mission in El Paso, Texas. He answers questions about what type of missionary he wants to be, how he’s feeling, what he’s excited for, and he bears his testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There are also a couple of time-capsule type questions which are fun! I’m excited to interview him again … in about 2 years from no...

230 Love Like Him (feat. Adelle Hayes) 13.05.2026

I went to Adelle’s mission homecoming a couple months ago, and I absolutely loved her talk. Her stories made me tear up and feel so much love for the gospel. I am SO GRATEFUL for God’s love for us. Of course I asked her if she would be willing to record a podcast episode about her mission, and she agreed! This episode is really special, and I am so grateful Adelle was willing to share her experien...

228 CLWK: The First Semester Wrap! (feat. Chloé, Ash, Laney, Anna, & Jenna) 08.04.2026

College Life With Kyra (CLWK) I asked my cohort if they would be willing to send me a little audio clip answering a couple questions. Thank you Chloé, Ash, Laney, Anna, and Jenna for sending me a clip! I also told them I was going to post it the first week of January, and here we are in April … haha whoops! I can’t even believe that in just a couple more weeks, we will have finished our first year...

227 To Become Like Them (blog post) 01.04.2026

I wrote this blog post back in February and posted it on February 10th. Sorry it took me over a month to get the audio out! I’m really happy with how this turned out. I hope it helps you understand grace and God’s plan for us a little better! “His Grace is Sufficient” by Brad Wilcox: https://youtu.be/yLXr9it_pbY?s...

226 Abounding Awareness: Proof God Loves Us One by One 25.03.2026

In this short episode, I tell the brief story of how I met two young women, Elly and Aspyn, at a youth stake dance. (I volunteered to help set things up and stayed to help clean up.) I know that God is aware of us and wants us to know that He loves us. I’m grateful He is happy to prove it to me again and again.

225 The Answer is Jesus (feat. Mikayla Seiter) 11.03.2026

In this episode, Mikayla and I talked about her missionary experience. I asked her about miracle stories, times she followed a prompting, fun facts she learned on the mission, why she decided to serve a mission, and how her relationship with the Savior grew while on her mission.

224 And He Was There (feat. Whitney Hurst) 18.02.2026

Whitney’s back! She and I recorded an episode before her mission where she shared her decision to serve. It’s called “A Wonderful Weekend for Whitney,” episode 74. Now, 18 months (and some change) later, she’s back to give us the scoop! We talk about following promptings, witnessing miracles, the mental game of serving a mission, funny experiences, and relying on Christ. I hope you enjoy our laugh...

223 The Cherished & Beloved Doctrine of Heavenly Mother (feat. Ash Rose) 04.02.2026

In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we believe that we have both a Heavenly Father AND a Heavenly Mother. This cherished and beloved doctrine of Heavenly Mother is unique to our faith and is dear to many of our hearts. Although we do not know much, we know She exists and loves us. It can be difficult that we do not know much about Her, but I have a testimony that we will understand...

222 And He Does (blog post) 28.01.2026

After venting on a Marco Polo share-cast about how hard grad school has been, I felt prompted to end my rant with gratitude. I started sharing some of the prayers I’ve been saying lately—each one ending with, “Will you help me?” Without really thinking about it, I finished with, “And He does.” I realized right after I finished recording that I had a blog post in the making. Two days later… here it...

220 The Statistics for 2025 20.01.2026

I have to be real here, I recorded this on January 1st but have been too lazy to edit it. (Alright, you caught me … I haven’t edited the last few episodes but we’re not going to talk about it.) I’m trying to go back to editing them because I want to put out good quality stuff. Since this is boring because it’s all about numbers (and I’m sure most of you don’t care about the specifics), I’m also po...

218 “Will ye also go away?” (feat. Ash Rose) 23.12.2025

It is a Tuesday, I know. I felt prompted to post this a day early, and I’m following through. (Three cheers for having something to post! Hip hip hooray!) In this episode, Ash and I discuss a powerful lesson we had in class about scripture verses in John 6. I’m sure we left some details out and didn’t explain everything to the best of our ability, but I hope you enjoy the meaning behind the messag...

217 CLWK: The Social Experiment (feat. Ash Rose) 17.12.2025

College Life With Kyra (CLWK): The Social Experiment Ash and I did a social experiment this semester for our graduate research method class.

216 So That it Continues to Matter (blog post) 05.11.2025

Carter taught me a lot, and I...

213 One Fallen Calendar at a Time (blog post) 17.09.2025

I hope that by putting “blog post” in the title, it clarifies that this is a different episode than the one with the exact same title a couple weeks ago. It is, however, the same story and message. I just wrote a cute little blog post and wanted to keep the pattern going of reading it on my podcast. It’s short and sweet, but it has a very important message: God loves you and is aware of the little...

212 CLWK: The Day That Was Hard 15.09.2025

My friends! Welcome back! On this podcast, I’ve shared a lot—I’ve been vulnerable, silly, open, and honest. This episode feels like a new kind of vulnerable for me. I’m not sure how it will come across, but my hope is that no matter your beliefs or politics, you’ll hear my genuine attempt to express how I’ve been feeling and why politics often trip me up. It’s a little jumbled at times—I start to...
