Wanna catch up on David's last episode, where we go over hi...

Text Me Here!!! I cannot wait for yall to hear this episode!

Text Me Here!!! Is anybody else feeling that shifting or stirring happening around them? Just me? I have to think someone else is feeling this.  Something is calling us all to be a little less 'earthly' and a little more 'heavenly'. To not be mean, but to be kind. This was a topic I studied in my scriptures last week and felt very moved to share what I learned. What I thought w...

Text Me Here!!! Mikell is back! And I'm so happy she is! I had seen on one of Mikell's instagram stories that a recent change had happened in her life: She started homeschooling.

What I think is most amazing about this episode is how it really was, bit by bit, that Mikell's mind was...

Text Me Here!!! Would you believe that we are already 3 months through the year? I can't!  The other day I was looking back on these months and feeling defeated, that all that hope and gusto that I had January 1st, was gone.  I wondered what I would want someone to say to me in this moment, and after some deep thought and prayer, I'm thinking I found a great solution. To not just stop, a...

Like most young adults, Joshua had a plan for himself, graduate, go on a mission, come home, go to college and get married, etc. What he didn't plan on was having all of those things completely rearranged! We talk through the experience of coming ho...

Text Me Here!!! If there is one thing for sure that is preached and advocated for on this podcast, it is follow your gut (and that little voice in your head)! When plans don't go to plan, before jumping to fill in the gap, stop for a second and think. That's the premise of the episode. An unplanned thought becoming an episode. I think with everything going on in our social and personal l...
