Imperfectly Broken The Podcast

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!

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 was...

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 ...

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 encoura...

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...

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 ...

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.

His story was so powerful that many people on our sh...

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...

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 ...

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

I’m going to be so real with you right now (I always try to be), I think this episode will be a lot more engaging/interesting if you listen to it sped up. 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. There should be an option on your podcasting app to speed ...
