Imperfectly Broken The Podcast

Thank you Kaylee so much for helping me mess around with zoom and recording an episode. It helped me so much! For this episode, Kaylee and I talk about FSY and then anything that comes to our minds. To be honest, I edited this a few weeks ago and don’t remember exactly what it’s about, so listen to find out because I forgot! 😂 I love you Kaylee! Don’t forget to sign up for Remind!

🚨Fair warning🚨 When you record three podcast episodes in a row and it’s late at night, the quality goes 📉⤵️. It was kind of difficult to edit this episode because my words are extremely jumbled, and I couldn’t decide what mess to leave in there and what to take out. Here’s the final edit, though it is SO far from perfect. #embraceimperfection Teach by example, right? Nevertheless, this poorly r...

YOU GUYS. This episode was so much fun to record and so much fun to edit. I apologize it’s soooo long. The time truly got away from us. Whoops! While editing, I couldn’t stop laughing at our silliness and at our laughter. I hope our laughter doesn’t annoy you, because there’s a lot of it! Kennedy took the reins in this episode, and she decided she wanted to talk about conspiracy theories. This tak...

Hey my friends, welcome back to part two! I teared up once or twice while editing this back, so I just hope you know how much I love and care about you. FSY may be over, but I refuse to give up and forget about you. Won’t happen. There is one more part to this series that is already recorded, but I’m planning on recording another 2-3 episodes about certain stories from that week. As to when they’l...

Wow. Jaden, thank you. I didn’t say on the podcast [insert slap on the forehead here], but I want to make it clear that I learned so much from you too. You blessed my life in more ways than one, and I truly don’t think you understand how much you enriched my life. I know Heavenly Father loves me because He sent me you! So thank you again. From the bottom of my heart! Also, thank you for recording...

Hey kiddos! I’m excited for you to be able to listen to this episode. Unfortunately, I only got through day zero and day one. How that happened, I’m not really sure. Sorry in advance! 🫣 The good news is that Jaden and I have recorded an episode together that will post this Wednesday! Stay tuned for that! I also recorded two more episodes right after this one that will play the following two Monda...

Oh my goodness what a fun episode to record, listen to, and edit. So many times I just thought, “aww she is so precious” and “I love her so much.” We were able to record two episodes during free time while at training for FSY. So stay tuned for the next one about conspiracy theories! 😲🫣🤪 We cover lots of different topics, and we laugh and have fun along the way. I hope you enjoy listening to th...

In this episode, I recap my fourth week this summer as an FSY counselor. I really enjoyed my kids from that week; especially my girls! I was able to get pretty vulnerable with them during pizza night, and we bonded a lot! I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow and to share my testimony with my kids from that week. Don’t forget to stand forever! Stay tuned for some mind-boggling miracles (like se...

This episode was SO fun to record. I simply love Lacey sooo sooo much! We recorded this back in May, so it’s a little dated considering I talk about FSY and how I want to approach this summer. Since it’s literally my last week this week, I can only hope I implemented my goal of being there and being willing to say, “I don’t know but I’ll find out.” Lacey and I talk about parenting out of fear, rep...

Dale G. Renlund said, “God’s love is perfect. Our ability to sense that love is not.” That was kind of our theme for the week, and it turned out to be pretty special. I’m grateful for my kids and for the opportunity to learn and grow with them! I hope we are always Firm in the Faith! Don’t forget to sign up for Remind!

Last but certainly not least, meet my sister Amara. She’s kind and dedicated and smart and loving. I’m grateful she agreed and decided to come on my podcast. I love her and am grateful for her in my life. P.S. I didn’t have time to edit this, so I hope it’s not too clunky. Don’t forget to sign up for Remind!

“Tell Them Why” Where to start. To be completely honest with you, this is probably one of my most vulnerable episodes yet. In fact, I’ve had a ton of anxiety over sharing this with everyone and putting my fears and concerns and pain out there for people to see and listen to. Especially my kids. That being said, I have to practice what I preach, and I believe in embracing imperfection, embracing hu...

Two words: Teenage boys 🤪 Without a doubt, my brother is a teenager boy, and he goes to prove that today. This recording was originally just over 10 minutes, and the final product is considerably less so. Why you might ask? Well because he liked to give me a hard time and just sit there for several seconds after most questions. Don’t worry, I’ve saved you that time. He sounds way nicer with his q...

“An Inexorable Love” This is the second episode of a set of three about my second week as an FSY counselor in Bowling Green, Kentucky. I feel so grateful to have been there and to have taken part in the “marvelous work” that the Gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is. I feel so grateful to have met and loved my youth. And it’s only just the beginning! I’m so sorry to Hailey, Lauren, Emma,...

Hey everyone! This is my third interview with one of my siblings, and it was super fun and entertaining to record. Ellora is so cute, and I’m so grateful to be her sister. I love you Ellora!

“A List of Firsts” This episode is from my second week as an FSY counselor in 2023. I continue my journey in Bowling Green, Kentucky, at Western Kentucky University. My company was “A Marvelous Work,” and we had a marvelous time! Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?), I had a ton to say, so this is episode one of three. Sit back, relax, and get excited for the next two parts! Don’t forget to sign...

Sibling #2! Our relationship has only gotten better and better over the years, though this podcast episode doesn’t really relate that very well. That being said, we both enjoyed recording this, and I hope you can keep up with his super active mind and thoughts! Don’t forget to sign up for Remind!

This episode is for my first week as an FSY counselor in 2023! My company was named, “Remember and Do,” and I was in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Though I talk in the tense of “last week,” this was actually about three weeks ago. I finally got to editing this and getting it ready. I love my youth from that week and hope they always remember and do the things that will lead them to joy! Thank you soooo...

While home in AZ, I recorded an episode with each of my siblings. Here’s my sister Samera! Don’t forget to sign up for Remind! Text @kmpodcast to 81010 Thank you soooo much for listening. Make sure to turn on notifications so you never miss a new episode!

The next episode to this mini series is here! It’s best paired with the episode right before this as this one just jumps right in with almost no introduction. After I finish explaining the things I noticed and sharing a story or two, I express that there will be at least one more episode about my study abroad program. I’m not sure when that will come out, so keep your eye out! That specific episod...

I’ve talked about it a lot. I’ve referenced it a lot. I’ve expressed my excitement and anxiety a lot. And it’s finally here. It’s over and completed. I went on my once-in-a-lifetime adventure across the seas and away from home. I did it! I went to: Prague, Czech Republic Vienna, Austria Munich, Germany Paris, France London, United Kingdom In this episode, I go into detail about both small and larg...

This is technically part 2, and unfortunately, the last episode I have recorded with Whitney. She’ll be back … but not until we are both back in Cedar for school. Editing this episode made me miss her so much! I just love our friendship! I hope you can feel that love coming through as you listen to us hangout for the last time. (That is, until this Fall.)

Phew! I made it back from across the seas! I had one day at home until I drove down to Arizona to spend some time with my family before FSY. So now I am “home” once more. Back in the United States and back in the home I lived in for 6 years! At the beginning of this episode I say it’s going to be a quick one, and then it nearly ends up being my usual length. It goes to show that I know how to ramb...

To be honest with you, this was such a fun episode to record and edit. Being with Whitney is always a blast, and editing it made me feel like I was with her all over again. She means so much to me and I value our friendship a lot! One thing about Whitney is that she is a Taylor Swift fan. She is dedicated to admiring and appreciating the art that Taylor Swift creates. In tune with our theme of art...

My plan was to go back and edit this episode again, moving things around and making it make more sense. That plan didn’t work, so here we are. I left all the in between chatter in, and I’m sorry if you can’t hear it. The microphones work great if they’re close to your mouth, but sometimes they are too quiet or too loud based on the distance from one’s mouth. Anyway … I’ve met some really cool peop...
