Imperfectly Broken The Podcast

Today’s episode is short but sweet! I posted, “Turning Water into Fire” on my blog on May 13, 2026. I hope you enjoy and know that with God, anything is possible!

In this episode, Carter recorded 24 of his weekly spiritual thoughts that he has been sending since coming home from his mission. I still get one in my email inbox once a week, and they’re always so good.

I reached out to Carter and asked him if he’d be willing to record them for me to post on my podcast, and he agreed! I can’t wait for you to hear all his insights and thoughts.

The other episode Carter is featured in is episode 214, “Small Acts of Devotion (feat. Carter Roundy).” I interviewed him about his...

In this episode, I interview Caleb Wilcken about his upcoming mission to the Ivory Coast! Caleb is one of Corwin’s friends and lives in my home ward. Several years ago, I babysat him and his siblings!

Caleb shares what type of missionary he wants to be, when he knew the church was true, a time he followed a prompting, and how his family and friends have influenced him to serve a mission. Like Corwin, I asked him some time-capsule questions. I’m really loving those…I think you will too!

Caleb isn’t leaving on his miss...

In this episode, I interview my 18 year-old brother who is about to serve a mission in El Paso, Texas. He answers questions about what type of missionary he wants to be, how he’s feeling, what he’s excited for, and he bears his testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There are also a couple of time-capsule type questions which are fun!

I’m excited to interview him again … in about 2 years from now.

This episode is the audio recording of my blog post, “Just Knock” with a couple stories of promptings I’ve followed recently.

I invite you to act fearlessly and JUST KNOCK!

College Life With Kyra: The First Date

As many of you know, I have a New Year’s resolution to go on 10 dates this year. I decided to tell the story of each one as they happen. Here is the unedited story of date one.

I went to Adelle’s mission homecoming a couple months ago, and I absolutely loved her talk. Her stories made me tear up and feel so much love for the gospel. I am SO GRATEFUL for God’s love for us.

Of course I asked her if she would be willing to record a podcast episode about her mission, and she agreed!

This episode is really special, and I am so grateful Adelle was willing to share her experiences with us. Thank you, Adelle!

I’m grateful for the everlasting, infinite, and incredible Atonement of Jesus Christ—a sacrifice made entirely because of love.

College Life With Kyra (CLWK)

I asked my cohort if they would be willing to send me a little audio clip answering a couple questions. Thank you Chloé, Ash, Laney, Anna, and Jenna for sending me a clip!

I also told them I was going to post it the first week of January, and here we are in April … haha whoops!

I can’t even believe that in just a couple more weeks, we will have finished our first year! I’m feeling so grateful and blessed.

I wrote this blog post back in February and posted it on February 10th. Sorry it took me over a month to get the audio out!

I’m really happy with how this turned out. I hope it helps you understand grace and God’s plan for us a little better!

In this short episode, I tell the brief story of how I met two young women, Elly and Aspyn, at a youth stake dance. (I volunteered to help set things up and stayed to help clean up.)

I know that God is aware of us and wants us to know that He loves us. I’m grateful He is happy to prove it to me again and again.

In this episode, Mikayla and I talked about her missionary experience. I asked her about miracle stories, times she followed a prompting, fun facts she learned on the mission, why she decided to serve a mission, and how her relationship with the Savior grew while on her mission.

Mikayla has unique and powerful insight, and I’m so grateful for her time and testimony! Thank you Mikayla 🫶🏻❤️

Whitney’s back! She and I recorded an episode before her mission where she shared her decision to serve. It’s called “A Wonderful Weekend for Whitney,” episode 74. Now, 18 months (and some change) later, she’s back to give us the scoop!

We talk about following promptings, witnessing miracles, the mental game of serving a mission, funny experiences, and relying on Christ. I hope you enjoy our laughter, our sincerity, and our testimonies of Jesus Christ and His gospel!

In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we believe that we have both a Heavenly Father AND a Heavenly Mother. This cherished and beloved doctrine of Heavenly Mother is unique to our faith and is dear to many of our hearts. Although we do not know much, we know She exists and loves us. It can be difficult that we do not know much about Her, but I have a testimony that we will understand someday. Until then, let us continue to cherish the wonderful doctrine of a Heavenly Mother.

After venting on a Marco Polo share-cast about how hard grad school has been, I felt prompted to end my rant with gratitude. I started sharing some of the prayers I’ve been saying lately—each one ending with, “Will you help me?” Without really thinking about it, I finished with, “And He does.” I realized right after I finished recording that I had a blog post in the making. Two days later… here it is. (I know, two days is impressive. It normally takes me weeks and months, haha!)

I hope you enjoy this brief but powerful testimony that...

I finally finished this blog post that I’ve been working on for a long time. (I actually finished it on November 30, 2025, but it finally *felt* finished this week!)

It’s about my sixth week of FSY from the summer 2023.

I hope you enjoy!

I have to be real here, I recorded this on January 1st but have been too lazy to edit it. (Alright, you caught me … I haven’t edited the last few episodes but we’re not going to talk about it.) I’m trying to go back to editing them because I want to put out good quality stuff.

Since this is boring because it’s all about numbers (and I’m sure most of you don’t care about the specifics), I’m also posting another episode this week. Today’s episode is kind of a bonus if you’re interest...

Here’s a short list of my goals for 2026!

It is a Tuesday, I know. I felt prompted to post this a day early, and I’m following through. (Three cheers for having something to post! Hip hip hooray!)

In this episode, Ash and I discuss a powerful lesson we had in class about scripture verses in John 6. I’m sure we left some details out and didn’t explain everything to the best of our ability, but I hope you enjoy the meaning behind the message.

As you listen, I encourage you to ponder, “what would I do for Jesus?”

College Life With Kyra (CLWK): The Social Experiment

Ash and I did a social experiment this semester for our graduate research method class. It was a lot of fun, so I wanted to record an episode so you could share in the fun!

By the way I *will* have another episode out next Wednesday. It’s already recorded 😎👏🏻

Friends! I’m sorry it’s been two weeks since I have posted something. This episode will make up for it, I promise!

In this episode, I interview Carter about his mission. He shares his favorite experiences, how he turned to Jesus Christ when he struggled with anxiety, the importance of following promptings, living in the present moment, and the miracles he experienced.

Carter taught me a lot, and I’m grateful I got to sit down with him to record an episode.

I hope that by putting “blog post” in the title, it clarifies that this is a different episode than the one with the exact same title a couple weeks ago. It is, however, the same story and message. I just wrote a cute little blog post and wanted to keep the pattern going of reading it on my podcast.

It’s short and sweet, but it has a very important message: God loves you and is aware of the little details of your life!

My friends! Welcome back!

On this podcast, I’ve shared a lot—I’ve been vulnerable, silly, open, and honest.

This episode feels like a new kind of vulnerable for me. I’m not sure how it will come across, but my hope is that no matter your beliefs or politics, you’ll hear my genuine attempt to express how I’ve been feeling and why politics often trip me up.

It’s a little jumbled at times—I start to say more and then move on. That wasn’t intentional; I just got nervous, and thing...

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!

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.” That particular episode just happens to be about school too haha!

So here’s the warm-up episode, where every...

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.

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 myself in Christ instead. I encourage you to lose yourself in Christ and service too. For me, it changed ever...

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 come home). She did a wonderful job, and I wanted to interview her for my podcast because she had such valuable insight that I wanted others to...

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.

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 care (SO FAIR), then stick around for next episode which will be a miracle story.

Thank you for your...

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 temple, I encourage you to take it!

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. No editing required. 🫡😎

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 Christ and what it really means for us, as well as how to support someone who is grieving—whether they’re facing a cancer diagnosis, the death of a loved...

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 powerful that many people on our shift asked if he would write it down and print copies to take home. I picked one up, and knowing how powerful the story was...

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!

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 feel less. I am grateful for the rest that Jesus Christ offers—rest He offers today and every day.

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 opinions and thoughts are her own and do not reflect the official stance of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
