Our nephew Isaac steps up to the mic this episode. After being inspired by listening to his parents' stories (Brian and Celeste) and hearing from a cousin or two, he decided to share some of his stories. We are so glad that he did! This young man is full of humor, adventure, and sass. He also opens up about some of his darkest moments and what helped him get through them.

We love you Isaac, we are excited for the bright future ahead of you!

Bonnie and Jessica get into the weeds about how she and her spouse have navigated marriage, as well as parenting their three exceptional daughters while holding contradicting beliefs. Jessica shares key factors that have kept her marriage strong, as well as the compromises and hard boundaries that have come up with their kids.

My conversation with Jessica continues in this episode. She walks us through her journey from a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to embracing atheism, all while navigating a mixed-faith marriage and mixed-faith parenting. While she is confident in her non-belief, we see themes of tolerance, mutual respect, and peace within disagreement emerging.
