Imperfectly Broken The Podcast
Being human means being imperfect. It means making mistakes — but also loving, laughing, learning, growing, changing, and truly living. Being human means you matter. It means you have infinite value. This podcast is all about embracing the human experience, especially the beauty of imperfection. Our weaknesses give us the chance to grow and turn them into strengths. Being human is a life full of stories, relationships, faith, and growth. Psychology helps us better understand what it means to be human, and I love sharing insights and lessons I learn along the way. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this podcast focuses heavily on testimony-building stories, scripture-based insights, and powerful experiences that highlight growth and turning to Christ. I hope listening to this podcast makes you laugh, encourages you to grow, strengthens your testimony of Jesus Christ, and reminds you that you are never alone. I hope it helps you embrace being human — embracing brokenness so that, through Christ, you can be made whole. Embracing imperfection as a pathway to joy and meaning. And ultimately, I hope it changes your life for the better. Make sure to turn on notifications so you never miss a new episode!

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...

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.

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...

I’ve posted a lot of vulnerable things on both my blog and on this podcast. I’ve talked about depression, anxiety, unmet expectations, my testimony, personal stories, and so much more.
Well this blog post is a little bit different as it is *extremely* vulnerable and makes me uncomfortable to think about sharing with the world. It’s been on my blog since December of 2022, but it’s pretty hidden. I’ve covered it with lots of other po...

In today’s episode, I share a little fun fact about me and then talk about something silly that happened on Sunday.
I then connect this experience to Jesus Christ and my decision to choose Him again and again. He is the “Living Water” and by drinking from His doctrine, we can have everlasting life and never thirst again. How incredible is that?!

College Life With Kyra: The Search is Over

When I recorded this, I was kind of lethargic and slow, and as I was listening back to edit the episode, it drove me crazy. So for your sake, play this at a faster speed than 1x.

Believe it or not, I posted a blog post today. The last time I posted was November 8, 2024, so this is a pretty momentous occasion.
I decided to record and post it today on my podcast as well, but I’ll be posting another episode with the same title (without “blog post”) soon. That episode will be more in depth about this topic and perhaps a little bit more vulnerable. Stay tuned for that!

In today’s episode, my younger sister and I talk about the Holy Ghost and feeling the spirit. We discuss D&C 8:2-3 which talks about how the spirit speaks truth to your heart and mind.
There are lots of ways to feel the spirit: someone may feel an intense pounding of their heart; someone else may feel chills/tingles; someone may get an inspired message in their mind; another may feel at peace; and one individual may feel warmth...

Okay so you know how sometimes people say (myself included), “you do *not* want to miss this episode!” Ladies and gentlemen … that does not apply today. 🫣
Perhaps you’re wondering, “Kyra, why are you encouraging me to skip this episode?”
To that response, I would say, “Great question! Let me explain!”

Hello hello! Here’s part three of the miniseries about becoming an amazing FSY counselor! To be real with you, I thought part one went well, part two crashed and burned (that was on me, plus the topics weren’t as fun haha), and part three (this one!) went amazing! I’m really happy with how it turned out, and I believe the insight and advice in this episode is super valuable.

Back in November, I had a prompting to create a podcast episode with tips, tricks, and advice on how to be a great FSY counselor. Because I have done it the last three years, I feel I have some good advice! Quickly after coming up with this idea (which I believe to be from God), I thought about how it would be an even cooler (and more reputable) resource if I got advice from as many counselors as I could. The next day, I created a ...
