We’re ending Season 2 with a conversation that goes deeper into grace, alignment, and what it really means to follow Christ. From testimonies to tattoos, from cultural discomfort to personal conviction — we’re reflecting on the atonement, sacred expression, and the idea that we don’t have to earn a place in heaven. The price has already been paid. We’re also taking a much-needed pause as we move cross-country and prep for a full podcast rebrand.
Season 3 will come with a fresh name, deeper conversations, and a more intentional space for the kinds of faith-based topics you can’t always talk about on Sunday. We’re not going anywhere — just making space to come back better than ever. See you in Season 3. And trust us… the name change? You’re going to love it.

In today’s episode, we get honest about relationships that ask us to be less—less successful, less expressive, less us. We talk about the subtle ways people can chip away at your confidence, from cheating to telling you your dreams are “too much.” Whether it’s a partner who’s insecure or a dynamic that makes you question your worth, we explore how to choose relationships that feel like sunlight, not shade. Your light deserves to be protected, not dimmed.
We also dive into the idea of being a “cafeteria Mormon”—someone who picks and chooses aspects of the faith based on personal conviction and lived experience. It’s a real and honest conversation about the tension between cultural expectations, church teachings, and personal revelation. We explore how it can feel both liberating and conflicting to follow your heart while still wanting to stay rooted in your faith, and how navigating that space requires grace, courage, and trust in your own spiritual journey.

This week, we’re talking about what happens when you choose to live in alignment — when you honor what matters most, trust your path, and open your heart to what’s meant for you. We’ll explore how manifesting, believing, and even the quiet ways we show up for ourselves can create a life that feels like a magnet for miracles. It’s not about chasing or striving — it’s about becoming. When you’re grounded in who you are, the right things have a way of finding you.
