It’s the Christmas season, and today’s episode is all about light—the light we share, the light we live, and the light we carry into a world that needs it more than ever. I sat down with Tess Frame, a Latter-day Saint content creator and digital missionary whose joyful testimony brings peace and hope to thousands online. Tess is also the CEO + co-founder of Happy Sacrament, a brand that helps families make faith a joyful daily habit (not just a Sunday ritual), and the author of Risen: Bread + Redemption, a beautiful project blending storytelling, symbolism, and faith to invite people closer to Christ.

What we talk about

• Why Tess intentionally pivoted her platform to be openly faith-based (even knowing she’d lose followers)
• The “middle ground” she wanted to create: faith that’s real, rooted, and fun—not “faith-light,” and not overly academic
• How hate comments didn’t shake her testimony—sharing it consistently actually strengthened it
• Staying spiritually grounded in a digitally distracted world (and why boundaries matter)
• A reminder that your algorithm shows you what you engage with—so curate what uplifts you
• Tess’s journey from editorial work to entrepreneurship, social media growth, and building a faith-based brand
• The story behind Risen: how baking bread became a gathering tool, then a powerful metaphor for healing and redemption after hospital trauma
• One of my favorite concepts: the faith, hope, and charity cycle—and why charity is a natural byproduct of coming closer to Christ
• What Tess learned the hard way through recovery, humility, and the Church’s ARP meetings
• Encouragement for anyone who feels a nudge to share their faith but is scared: people will have opinions no matter what—don’t let them matter more than your integrity and your relationship with God

Key Takeaways

• Sacred doesn’t mean secret. Faith can be shared with reverence and relatability.
• Bearing testimony strengthens testimony. Showing up consistently can deepen discipleship.
• Boundaries protect your purpose. When the phone is a tool for mission, it’s easier to avoid doom-scrolling.
• Your feed is curated by your engagement. Like, share, and interact with what uplifts you—your algorithm will follow.
• God orders our steps. Even painful seasons can become preparation for powerful purpose.
• Women are not an afterthought. Tess’s reminder: you are the “crowning piece of creation”—a literal daughter of God.
