Imperfectly Broken The Podcast

I love this episode. Although I read things differently than I normally do, I love the resources that I found that talk about God’s infinite love. Isn’t it crazy that He has so much love for us that He trembles from it?! If you’d like to hear more about God and Jesus Christ’s love for you, this episode is for you! I hope the links below work. As promised, here they are! Ether 5:5 https://www.churc...

CLWK = College Life With Kyra This episode is all about my first couple days of graduate school at BYU. I’m loving it and feel grateful to be back in a classroom. Believe it or not, I have two more episodes already recorded, and I’m really excited for one of them. It’s called, “Trembling From Love,” and I’m going to post it Friday. Monday’s episode will be titled, “CLWK: The Day That Was Hard.” Th...

Last week, my calendar fell off the wall. (I haven’t put it back up yet … though I should do that!) I realized that it was Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother’s way of saying, “Hey, I got you. I’m here for you. I’m aware of you.” I promise that if you look for God’s hand in your life, you’ll find it everywhere. It shows up. Again and again. In my case, it shows up one fallen calendar at a time. He...

Hey friends! This episode ended up being significantly longer than I expected it to be, but as I got to updating you on my life and all the things that I’ve been thinking about, the time quickly added up. After I update you on things, I talk about losing myself in Christ and what I’ve learned about that. When I felt like I had lost part of myself, I got inspiration that I should refocus on losing...

I didn’t know how long this episode would end up being, but I’m not surprised it ended up being 45+ minutes long. The “main post” is only about 4-5 minutes long, and the ramblings of page two took the rest of the time. I hope you enjoy the backstory of my journey getting into graduate school! (Though episodes “It’s Just a Matter of When” part one through five tell the story pretty well too haha!)...

Kadrianne and I met while we were both attending Southern Utah University, and we became dear friends. She is a wonderful person, piano player, disciple of Christ, and the list goes on and on! Kadrianne is one of the kindest people I know, and I feel so blessed to be her friend. We recorded this the day after her homecoming (that’s when missionaries speak in church about their missions after they...

On July 28th, I went for a hike. Part of it I was planning on, and the other part … I was not. In this episode, I share the story of my hike and the small miracle that occurred. It has nothing to do with my safety by the way, so don’t worry about that. I’m okay and was always okay. ;) I hope you enjoy my silliness and the story that proved to me, once again, that prayer works. Here is a link to my...

The honest truth is that I had absolutely no desire to edit this episode, so I didn’t (other than normalizing it). I sincerely hope it doesn’t drive you crazy, but like I said, I had no motivation to listen to myself ramble for 30 minutes. If you’re curious about my move and want to hear the story (as well as some random details about my life), then this episode is for you. If you don’t really car...

Although this episode is a little more scatterbrained than I wanted it to be, I am grateful for the opportunity to reflect on what I learned from serving in the Cedar City Temple as an ordinance worker. I hope you can follow my thought-process and hear the love I have for the temple, the patrons, the Gospel, and for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. If you ever have an opportunity to serve in the...

Hello hello! In the past, I have published episodes that I did not edit, though I’ve tried to keep that number low. I suppose today we are adding one to the count. As I write this (in this current moment), it is late, my eyes are hurting/strained, and I am very tired (hence the multiple yawns in this episode haha). If you’ve heard of the video chat app, Marco Polo, pretend I am sending you a Polo....

On an August night 17 years ago, LynAnn received devastating news: both her husband and son had died in a plane crash. Wanting to turn to the Lord for comfort and strength, LynAnn and her family clung to the gospel of Jesus Christ with “both hands.” In this episode, LynAnn shares her story—the heartbreak and sadness, but more importantly, the hope and healing. We discuss the Atonement of Jesus Chr...

A few months ago, a brother on my temple shift shared a tender story that touched all of our hearts. (Seriously, everyone was shedding tears. Myself included!) After returning from military service, he struggled with severe PTSD. But through a series of divine interventions where the Lord clearly guided him and his family, he found healing—divine healing—in the House of the Lord. His story was so...

I’m going to be so real … the reason I am posting this on a Thursday (and even posting it at all) is because I want the episode tomorrow to be episode 200, so I kind of needed a filler episode. This little story doesn’t even take 5 minutes, so it was perfect. Feel free to skip this one, but if you choose not to (or even if you do), I hope you ponder the power of prayer! Here is a link to my table...

I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ for SO MANY reasons. One of those reasons is because it is a great place to find Christ’s peace and enter into His rest. I know that Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost—the Godhead—are the true authors of peace. They can help us feel whole even while we wait for healing. They can help us feel strong when we feel weak. They can make us more when we fe...

In this episode, I interview my new friend, Nellybutter (a name she had fun creating!). Due to sharing some vulnerable things, she wanted to stay anonymous, and I totally respect that! We talk about faith, help, hope, and healing. Nellybutter shares a couple vulnerable things and encourages others to seek support and utilize the resources available to them. Please note: All of Nellybutter’s opinio...

I’ve posted a lot of vulnerable things on both my blog and on this podcast. I’ve talked about depression, anxiety, unmet expectations, my testimony, personal stories, and so much more. Well this blog post is a little bit different as it is *extremely* vulnerable and makes me uncomfortable to think about sharing with the world. It’s been on my blog since December of 2022, but it’s pretty hidden. I’...

In today’s episode, I share a little fun fact about me and then talk about something silly that happened on Sunday. I then connect this experience to Jesus Christ and my decision to choose Him again and again. He is the “Living Water” and by drinking from His doctrine, we can have everlasting life and never thirst again. How incredible is that?! Here is a link to my table of contents: https://docs...

College Life With Kyra: The Search is Over I’m going to be so real with you right now (I always try to be), I think this episode will be a lot more engaging/interesting if you listen to it sped up. When I recorded this, I was kind of lethargic and slow, and as I was listening back to edit the episode, it drove me crazy. So for your sake, play this at a faster speed than 1x. There should be an opti...

Believe it or not, I posted a blog post today. The last time I posted was November 8, 2024, so this is a pretty momentous occasion. I decided to record and post it today on my podcast as well, but I’ll be posting another episode with the same title (without “blog post”) soon. That episode will be more in depth about this topic and perhaps a little bit more vulnerable. Stay tuned for that! Here is...

Your favorite girl is back! It just worked out for Ellora to record another podcast episode with me, but this time, we got to do it in person! We talked about her FSY experience last July and all the miracles that occurred for her that week. We talked about being strong in the faith, about how we can have an impact on people and not even know it, about how sometimes those who seem really strong ar...

In today’s episode, my younger sister and I talk about the Holy Ghost and feeling the spirit. We discuss D&C 8:2-3 which talks about how the spirit speaks truth to your heart and mind. There are lots of ways to feel the spirit: someone may feel an intense pounding of their heart; someone else may feel chills/tingles; someone may get an inspired message in their mind; another may feel at peace;...

Okay so you know how sometimes people say (myself included), “you do *not* want to miss this episode!” Ladies and gentlemen … that does not apply today. 🫣 Perhaps you’re wondering, “Kyra, why are you encouraging me to skip this episode?” To that response, I would say, “Great question! Let me explain!” 1- The audio quality isn’t going to make anyone jealous. I had to use my phone again (which is a...

Okay so I know I do this a lot (haha sorry), but I waited til last minute … again. This time, the audio quality suffered, and I recorded a brief intro and outro using my phone’s microphone. Forgive me! Although this episode is last minute, I spent way longer than I wanted preparing and editing it. You’re worth it though. 😉🩵🫶🏻 I shared some quotes from varying BYU devotionals (and a general con...

I read this article over two weeks ago, and it touched me deeply. I actually felt the spirit 3-4 times while reading it! Wanting others to hear this miraculous story, I saved the link to later record a podcast episode. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I do and can feel God’s love for us, His children, as you listen. So many times it is clear that God was in the details and by divine design,...

WE MADE IT! Wahoooo! But for real, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling relieved that I’m done with this project. I’ve spent close to 30 hours (or more I don’t even know!) preparing the idea, making the google form, sending the form out to people (and reminding them haha), reading the responses, organizing the responses, putting people’s names by their answer, thinking about what I wanted t...
