In this episode of The Salty Truth, I sit down with Mason Anderson, a former heroin addict who spent years in and out of prison before completely transforming his life.

But this conversation isn’t just about addiction.

It’s about the root of it.

Mason shares how what he thought was a drug problem was actually something much deeper: a void, a lack of self-worth, and pain he didn’t know how to express. We talk about prison, recovery, faith, purpose, mindset, and the reality of how one decision can alter your life forever.

We also dive into:
 • Why addiction is rarely about the substance
 • What the prison system gets wrong about recovery
 • The connection between burnout and control
 • Why community is the hidden pillar of healing
 • How serving others can save your own life

This episode is for anyone who has struggled or loves someone who has.

It’s about redemption. Accountability. Growth. And the truth that your biggest struggle might become your greatest strength.

If this conversation resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Welcome to The Salty Truth.

Valentine’s Day is here, and I’m not pretending it’s all roses and romance.

In this solo episode, I kick off Valentine’s Week with my own salty truth about procrastination, expectations, and why I almost wrote this holiday off completely, until I didn’t. Then we dive into your anonymous Valentine’s submissions, including windshield wiper fluid as a gift, Taco Bell dates with early bedtimes, mind-reading expectations that never pan out, and the eternal question of who should really pay on a date.

Whether you’re married, single, deeply in love, deeply tired, or just here for the laughs, this episode is a reminder that Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to look a certain way to count. I also issue a bold Salty Challenge: do something just for you, lingerie, red lipstick, silk pajamas, or a confidence-boosting selfie you’ll love later.

Grab a drink, get cozy, and let’s get salty.

One Salty Truth hit so hard, it turned into an entire episode.

In this solo Salty Session, Lindsay unpacks the quiet but powerful impact of comparison culture, toxic social media habits, and the pressure to look confident, healed, and unbothered when most of us are anything but.

From doom scrolling and algorithm-fueled insecurity to impulse decisions and overstimulation, this episode dives into how social media subtly steals our joy, distorts reality, and keeps us stuck in self-doubt. Lindsay gets real about her own struggles, the psychology behind comparison, and why feeling “behind” doesn’t mean you’re failing, it means you’re human.

Most importantly, she shares practical tools to help you set boundaries, clean up your digital environment, reclaim your power, and stop letting validation dictate your worth.

Welcome to the Salty Truth. It’s time to stop playing small and start living for real.

In this episode of The Salty Truth, I sit down with Ivy Watrous, the founder of Salted Roots, to talk about what it really looks like to build a business from the ground up - no shortcuts, no gimmicks, and no pretending it’s easy.

We get into how a creative idea turned into a fast-growing, cult-favorite brand, why doing things the “hard way” often leads to better products and stronger foundations, and what it takes to keep going when fear, doubt, and burnout show up.

Ivy shares the behind-the-scenes reality of entrepreneurship, from taking financial risks and learning through failure to building a business with integrity, clean ingredients, and intention. We also talk about creativity, resilience, relationships, and trusting your instincts when the path forward isn’t obvious.

If you’ve ever thought about starting something of your own, or you’re in the thick of building it, this episode is a reminder that progress doesn’t come from perfection. It comes from showing up, staying curious, and betting on yourself even when it’s uncomfortable.

In this episode of The Salty Truth, I’m sitting down with someone very special my daughter, Lexi Kaufman.

Lexi opens up about what it was really like growing up in Utah as a non LDS kid, navigating exclusion, dating pressures, and the unspoken expectations placed on young women especially around religion, marriage, and timelines.

We talk about being raised by a young mom, learning independence early, dating in Utah as a non LDS woman, and why rushing marriage or checking boxes too early can do more harm than good.

Lexi also shares how college, Greek life, traveling alone for work, and time spent truly getting to know herself shaped the woman she is today and why she believes your 20s are for exploration, not perfection.

We also get into dirty sodas, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, why we’re Team Whitney, and the power of choosing yourself even when it doesn’t match the culture around you.

This episode is honest, funny, emotional, and full of truths young women and their moms need to hear.
