Imperfectly Broken The Podcast

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 for future “College Life With Kyra” episodes. They’ll be more popular once I actually move up north to attend BYU. I’m sure I’ll have plenty to say about that upcoming adventure!

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!

Haha okay that’s enough of that …

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 lead to the best possible life one can have. From my own life, I have seen how God’s plan for me is much better than the plan I originally had for myself. He knows us best and wants us to succeed. He wants us to come back home.

Thank you, Aurora, for sharing your experience. You were very brave and vulnerable, and I admire your strength. You’re amazing! 🩵

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.

When difficult and challenging things come up in your life, I encourage you to change your initial thought from “what if something terrible happens?” to “what if everything is okay? What if everything works out?” I have a testimony that the best is yet to come … ESPECIALLY to those who have hope.

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.

My sister decided to join; hopefully you find it endearing. 😂

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 tidbits from a devotional by Neal A. Maxwell from January 1996. It’s titled “Brim With Joy” and you can find it on Apple Podcasts and Spotify by simply searching the title. Feel free to wait to listen to the devotional until after part two of my podcast comes out on Wednesday, but I won’t blame you if you enjoy the clips from this episode so much that you cannot wait to hear the whole thing!

I learned a lot from this devotional and felt a lot of peace. I hope you’re able to endure the chaos to get to the good stuff. I think it’s worth it!
