Ladies and gentlemen and whoever else is listening, once again, welcome back to the program. I have two special guests today. They are Elizabeth Allen and Ellie Higginson, former and current Utah State cheer champions from Salem Hills High School. They reveal the not-so-secret world behind the scenes of competitive cheer teams.  It's a grueling level of physical, emotional and mental commitment to be the best in state several times over. Plus the sisterhood created by a shared love of the sport has bonded these girls as life-long friends. Full disclosure. Your humble host was a cheerleader at Utah State University back in 1991 so I get to chime in with my similar experiences and perspectives. #SHHS #SalemHighSchool #SalemHighSchoolCheer #CheerSisterhood #MoreThanLipstick #UtahStateCheerChampions #NotMeanGirls

My guests today are Landon and Camille Pollard, Jennah Lee Sheffield and Emily Parrish.  Almost 5 years ago, we had all of them on the show in an episode called "Perspectives on Life, Like from Teenagers." They're all official adults now so we invited them all back got their current perspectives on the same questions asked back then.  We get a glimpse into their developing lives. Oh, and they used the word, "like" a lot less. #TeenPerspectives #TeenTalk #LifeStages #LDSYouth #Mormons #YoungMarriedCouples #YoungMarriedMormons #ThinkLessDoMore

Welcome back to the program ya'll. On the show today is my queer daughter Eden Strader. She came out to us three years ago. The process was a serious growth challenge for us as her parents. We handled it a little bit right but mostly wrong. Not out of malice but ignorance. A lot of damage was done but we've learned how to love better and deeper. It was a rough time in our story but we now have a healthy relationship, loving her as she is and will continue to be. She gives us a lot of back story to...well...her story. #GayMormons #LGBTQ #LoveYourKids #MormonParentsOfGayKids #LDSChurch #EdenStrader #PrideMonth #MyKidIsQueer #ILoveMyGayKid

Ladies and gentlemen, and whoever else is listening. Welcome back again to the show. This may be one of the most intriguing episodes in the last 5 years. Several months ago I interviewed author Charlene Paul, Episode 159, who wrote a book called Devotion Deliverance Deception, Keep Sweet - Pray and Obey, Isaac's Story about a young mans' life journey inside the FLDS Church and the world of polygamy and mind control. Today we have the subject of that book, Isaac Steed with us. Buckle up for a more in-depth look at what it was like growing up, and living a "happy normal childhood" inside the FLDS Church and the tightrope walking it took to survive under the total and absolute control of the then leader Warren Jeffs and what it was like to be banished in an instant for no apparent reason after literally devoting EVERYTHING to the group. #FLDSChurch #WarrenJeffs #ShortCreek #ColoradoCity #Hilldale #LostBoys #DevotionDeceptionDeliverance #Polygamy #ChildBrides #MasterDeceiver #KeepSweetPrayObey #KeepSweet #GodKnow

My guest today is Amy Watkins Jensen, faithful member of the LDS Church, wife, mother, and creator of the IG account, Women on the Stand. This episode is primarily for members of the LDS Church but has implications in all religions and organizations. Why is this important? In a typical LDS Church meeting, for example only the Bishop and his counselors are seated on the stand behind the pulpit. Anyone visiting that ward (congregation) can look up and know who the leaders are.    In the Oakland, CA Stake for the past decade, the women’s organization leaders have been sitting on the stand during ward and stake meetings. Fair and balanced right? No problem. Back in October of 2023, a member of the churchs area authority for that region of the country decided having women leaders represented on the stand was a problem and put an end to this practice.   This was an abosolute slap in the face to the women of the church on so many levels and it hurt. A lot. You see there was nothing broken here. This practice was ben

My guest today is Careshmeh French and a couple years ago, she lost her soul mate, best friend and husband. All who happened to have been the same amazing man.  This loss has left her broken beyond anything she has ever experienced before. The strange part about this is how those around her are uncomfortable with her grieving process and feel like she should have “moved on” by now.  She gives us all good counsel on what not to do or say in the wake of someone's tragedy. . . . #Lukemia #MournWithThoseThatMourn #JustSitWithMe #LDSHospital #JustLetMeGrieve #EternalFamilies #MormonTapDance #HesInABetterPlace #DumbThingsToSayAtFunerals #SoulMate #HeWasMyPerson #Signs #TheLightBetweenUs

It is well written with a blend of honesty, acceptance of the reality, genuine emotions and insight.
