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!

Well friends, we are on to part two of this miniseries! In case you missed part one, I highly encourage you to start with that one first as it sets the foundation for the questions I will be going through today.

Here are today’s questions:
1. What was hard about being a counselor, and how did you overcome it?
2. What was something hard that you did not expect and would want to warn other potential counselors about?
3. What tips do...

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 ...

Happy happy Easter! Since General Conference, I’ve been wanting to be more intentional about Easter. Jesus Christ’s resurrection was the most significant event in the history of the world, and oftentimes, I let Easter pass by without thinking too much about Christ or its true meaning. Well no more!

I am grateful that because of Jesus Christ, the best is yet to come. One day, the sorrows of the world will be no more and will no lon...

Welcome to my new series of “College Life With Kyra” aka “CLWK!” Now that I’ve gotten into graduate school, I’m officially in college once again. I thought it would be fun to chronicle my experience as a new series and the acronym “CLWK” is kind of fun, haha!

This episode is all about a research conference I went to last week. I also presented, and that was fun! (Really I just wanted to put it on my CV/academic resume.)

Stay tuned ...

Hello! I apologize for it being over a week since I last published an episode, but I promise not to disappear on you again … for a little bit at least!

This episode is about a dear friend of mine who came back into my life after a period of time. I cannot express how happy and grateful it made me feel, and I wanted to record an episode to express my gratitude and joy for this wonderful blessing!

Today’s episode is all about my new fitness journey into becoming a better version of myself. I’ve neglected my physical health for a long time … no more!

This episode will probably be boring for you if you’re not interested in what’s going on in my life, so noooo pressure to listen. But I’m posting this anyway, even though it might be boring, to make my commitment public! I will not give up on this! I can do this!

Well friends, I did the thing!!! My cousin and I signed up for a triathlon back in August of 2024, and we finally completed it this last weekend.

This episode is a rundown of how it went for me. Want to guess what place I finished in? (Clue: I wasn’t racing anyone, ha!)

One of these next episodes will be about my new fitness journey into becoming a better version of myself, so watch out for that!

In today’s episode, Aurora answers the question, “why do you stay in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?”

Each person’s conversion story is different, and sometimes people experience a faith crisis, ultimately leading to the choice to leave the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or to stay.

My personal testimony is that the decision to stay, to recommit, to turn towards Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, will...

I felt prompted this morning to read this blog post and make sure this podcast episode came out today. So here we are!

I enjoyed reading this post from August of 2023. Although I wrote it over a year and a half ago, it is still applicable to this day. Hope is a vital element of a joyful and purposeful life. Jesus Christ offers hope and rest in His arms, and I hope (pun intended) we take Him up on His offer.

Chantel is back! The last episode I did with her was over a year ago, and we talked about mourning with those that mourn.

Today’s episode is quite the opposite in its energy as we discuss college and share personal experiences from our time at university. Each person’s college experience is going to be different, but it’s going to be special because it’s YOURS.

I hope you enjoy what we have to say on the subject!

For today’s episode, I decided to post a short and sweet version of my testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Hello! Before you listen to this episode, I encourage you to make sure you’ve listened to part one first! I broke them up, so really this is a continuation of part one.

This episode contains more quotes by Neal A. Maxwell as well as my thoughts to what he says. I hope you consider how to increase your joy and how to forgive the people in your life.

Until next time!

I’m warning you RIGHT NOW; for some reason I was extremely giggly in this episode. I also rambled for about ten minutes and didn’t get to the meat of the episode until about fifteen minutes in. It’s probably why I had to break it up into two parts, but that’s okay.

In this episode, I talk about how “coincidence” is simply the word we use because we cannot comprehend the majesty and magnitude of divine design. I also play actual tid...

Surprise! I can’t believe it myself, but I heard back from BOTH graduate programs this week. (Though I didn’t get into both haha!)

I’m happy to announce that this will be the last episode in the series, “It’s Just a Matter of When” because “when” has *finally* arrived! It’s here, baby! Five applications later, over a span of over a year, I finally can say I’m a graduate student.

What a wonderful day!

Today’s episode is a summary of what I learned and liked from my Stake Conference yesterday. It was a solid meeting, so I have a lot of thoughts!

I also briefly mention my advice on how to get yourself out of a spiritual funk/rut. At times we can feel like we are spiritually plateauing, and I think working on revitalizing our testimony is a great opportunity to rededicate ourselves to Christ and His gospel.

The saga continues! Here is the update to my journey of trying to get into graduate school.

I’m taking predictions: do you think I will get an offer from BYU or UVU? Or do you think I will get an offer to both? I would like to say I think I will get an offer from both, but I’m thinking it might be best to keep my expectations low.

Until part five when I find out (and reveal) where I got an offer from and where I decided to go!

I’m not going to lie, I copied the blurb from part one and edited it. Please forgive me. 😂

My friends, what a powerful episode I have in store for you today (part two haha)! I felt like part one turned out so well, so I decided to create another one.

I wasn’t planning on posting this episode today; I had a different one planned. Due to covering for someone at work tonight, I forgot to text people to remind them to send me their voice clip for part two of “Why I Stay.” Rather than putting the episode together without the missing people’s answers, I decided to push it back to Monday.

I’m grateful I had a few blog posts that I had not read yet, including this one. The story for t...

I published this blog post on August 18, 2023 … so it’s been almost a year and a half since I wrote it. I decided it was never too late to record a podcast episode of my reading it, so here it is!

It’s a little outdated since I now have another year of FSY under my belt, but this specific experience will be one I NEVER forget. This tender experience has changed my life forever. I’m not kidding; it truly has changed me.
