In the Family

Today, we go DEEP with Andi on her religious and mental health journey. There’s laughter, tears, and a few shoutouts to family members. But first, I ask Andi to woman-splain to me what the heck she does in the army and her best travel tips as a woman of the world (she travels a lot, ok?) Also, did you know that Yeti makes shot glasses? Enjoy!

Today, I am chatting with my dad (aka the Mayor of Millcreek) about all things outdoor sports: how to start, training for races, what gets him out of bed in the morning, trail recs, and his 2024 stats (1 million vertical feet… like ok superman!) He really is an everyday athlete. Don’t believe me? He gets up at 4:00 AM EVERY DAY to ski, trail run, or mountain bike. For athletes and non-athletes ali...

World, meet my cousin Kenzie! She’s a twin and a river guide studying violin making. Plus, she is a newlywed and hoping to be a mom someday. I had a blast chatting with Kenzie and learning more about her world. And what better way to learn about life through the lens of someone I love? Enjoy!

It’s me! Your favorite ex-mormon! Today, I talk about all things leaving the church. From my newfound values, why I left, my relationships with active church-goers, and what I believe now. Enjoy!

Need advice? Ask Amy (and me by default) Anything! You submitted your questions, from jealousy to marriage to religion, and we gave you our unqualified, unprofessional advice. Honestly, I love to pretend I know all the answers. Happy Holidays, and thanks for listening!

Today, I am chatting with my brother Thomas about his post-LDS mission mental health journey and spiritual transformation. Plus where he stands now in his faith and his positive experience in therapy. I think it goes without saying that I am proud of my brother and love him endlessly. Enjoy!

What's it like to move to LA and pursue a career as an actor? In today's episode, my cousin Bela gives up the scoop on her three-year stint in Los Angeles. But first, she recounts her most recent dating experiences and patiently listens to me talk about bears. Don't sleep on this episode! Bela is hilarious, and I'm just trying to keep up. Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you have a lovely, relaxing day.

Today, I lay it ALLLL out about my relationship anxiety— past, present, and future. Yes, I “figured” it out, and yes, I still have it even though I'm married. Plus, I talk about boyfriends of the past. Spooky! Check out You Love and You Learn on Instagram— the holy grail of relationship anxiety. Enjoy!

Welcome back! Today, I’m chatting with my cousin Arya, who may or may not have thrown up at school in the third grade, just like me. Plus, we discuss procrastination, social media, and a cool habit I stole from Michael Phelps. Enjoy!

Welcome back! We’re kicking off season two with my mom and chatting about gender roles and feminism. What does it mean to be a woman? How do traditional teachings shape our understanding of womanhood? How has the LDS faith influenced our sense of identity? Thanks for listening!

Bad news: This is the season one finale of the In the Family podcast! Good news: I’ll be back on September 12th with season two!! Your job: Listen in as I brain-dump some thoughts and feelings and skirt around how I drink now and will probs get a tattoo.

On today's episode, we answer some burning questions: Do Thomas and I resent our parents? How did my Dad feel when I left the church? Why am I making "George Clooney for President" t-shirts? You'll have to tune in to today's episode as I chat with Joel, aka my Dad, aka the Mayor of Millcreek (IYKYK)! (No, we don't resent him… but maybe our mom? Jk. Does anyone even read t...

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.

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?

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.
