Imperfectly Broken The Podcast

Today I decided to do something different and kind of exciting! I share five songs that have spoken to me. Maybe because they have a good message, they helped me during a hard time, they are relatable, or because they are just well written … they all have different special meanings and purposes that helped them make the cut. What song(s) speak to you? Why? Do you remember where you were when you f...

I’m not going to lie, this episode is a little chaotic! I suppose most of them are to be honest! Savannah and I continue our talk about who we present and seeing past someone’s defenses. We also talk about ordinary people being extraordinarily divine and important! Don’t forget to sign up for Remind! Text @kmpodcast to 81010 Thank you soooo much for listening.

This episode is (kind of) a part two of “It Gets Better. I Promise.” That episode didn’t end up being very inspirational or exciting, and I felt disappointed in how it turned out. So I recorded another one! I focus on Elder and Sister Holland’s worldwide devotional this month and add my thoughts to the message they shared. I hope (hehe) this episode does a better job of what I wanted the other one...

I met Savannah the first week of this new semester. Ironically (or not so ironically), she’s in my communication class! We had a lot of fun recording this episode and talking about who we are, what matters to us, what masks we wear, how we present ourselves to others, and the importance of change. Stay tuned for part two next week! Don’t forget to sign up for Remind! Text @kmpodcast to 81010 Thank...

College is super fun, but it’s also kind of weird! It creates opportunities to meet people, to learn, to grow, to enjoy life, to make lifelong friends, and to get to know yourself. The joys and challenges of college are simple in theory, but they can be complex too. Today, I mostly focus on the simplicity of college and of my first week back to school. I talk about knowing a lot of people, getting...

Part two of the (mostly 😉) controlled chaos and camaraderie is here once again when Whitney and I talk about the importance of social connection and friendship in our day-to-day lives. We talk about belonging, being known is being loved, being your true authentic self and being loved for being that person, what sides of ourselves we present, the little moments next to those we love, our progress,...

On September 28, 2020, I published a blog post by the name of “Happiness Exists. I Promise.” In this podcast episode, I use parts from that blog post and other life experiences since then to share why life is worth living, why hope is not lost, and why I KNOW that it gets better. The best part? Even when things are (finally) great and amazing, the best is *still* yet to come. Stay tuned for part t...

Rambling and giggling ensue when Whitney and I get together, and this episode is no different. We have been planning on recording an episode for a long time now, so we both come very prepared with lots of notes and thoughts to share. I hope you enjoy the passion we both have for this very important and very applicable topic: friendship. Stay tuned for part two next week! Don’t forget to sign up fo...

It is scary when you feel God has a specific plan for you, but you're not sure what it looks like or what will happen in order for you to get there. But from my experience, things always end up better than they could ever be imagined. This was the case for me when I grappled with the decision of whether or not to go on a proselyting mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. Afte...

***DISCLAIMER*** I mention suicide and talk about it for a couple of minutes. In this episode, I explain how this college course changed my life in a way I never expected and didn't know I needed. I share a note I wrote to my professor and talk about the importance of "teach[ing] a man to fish" to prepare him for a lifetime. Lastly, I talk about vulnerablity and its ability to create opportunities...

In this episode, I interview Kaden, a past FSY counselor. He spoke at an FSY devotional with me, and I just loved his message and needed to have him on the podcast! He shares a touching story about a young man who received the miracle he had been praying for. I hope you learn that you can ask for miracles too! Additionally, I hope you love the story as much as I do! FYI: The microphone that Kaden...

In this episode I talk about the disappointment of not getting things that we hoped to get. I share the story of the seminary seminar I took in order to potentially become a student teacher, and I relate basketball and the choice to quit before I broke my arm. Finally, I talk about letting things go that we cannot change and choosing to love ourselves instead. Thank you soooo much for listening. M...

FSY is a new segment where I interview FSY counselors and ask them about their experience this past summer. From asking them why they chose to be a counselor to inviting them to share a funny or spiritual story, I hope you find this segment as amusing and exciting as I do! Emma and I were together for four weeks this summer, so I asked her to be my first interviewee. We talk about a fire alarm, fo...

In this episode, I explain the jingle that is at the beginning and end of each episode; where it came from, how it sounds so professional, who is singing, what instruments are there, and some of the tricky things about getting it finished. Additionally, I talk about the benefits of getting to know more people, but most importantly, I talk about how it is hard to hate and hard not to respect someon...

In this episode, I talk about being brave and biting the bullet, the catch 22 I found myself in, the journey being the process, eustress vs distress, quote and word of the day, and I tell a couple of personal stories that relate to today's topics.
