2025-12-1737 minImperfectly Broken The Podcast210 CLWK: The First Week of Graduate SchoolCLWK = College Life With Kyra This episode is all about my first couple days of graduate school at BYU. I’m loving it and feel grateful to be back in a classroom. Believe it or not, I have two more episodes already recorded, and I’m really excited for one of them. It’s called, “Trembling From Love,” and I’m going to post it Friday. Monday’s episode will be titled, “CLWK: The Day That Was Hard.” That particular episode just happens to be about school too haha! So here’s the warm-up episode, where every...
2025-09-1026 minImperfectly Broken The Podcast194 CLWK: The Search is OverCollege Life With Kyra: The Search is Over I’m going to be so real with you right now (I always try to be), I think this episode will be a lot more engaging/interesting if you listen to it sped up. When I recorded this, I was kind of lethargic and slow, and as I was listening back to edit the episode, it drove me crazy. So for your sake, play this at a faster speed than 1x. There should be an option on your podcasting app to speed it up, and once again, I recommend you us...

It just worked out for Ellora to record another podcast episode with me, but this time, we got to do it in person! We talked about her FSY experience last July and all the miracles that occurred for her that week. We talked about being strong in the faith, about how we can have an impact on people and not even know it, about how sometimes those who seem really strong are at times the most attacked, and about bearing our testimony. I encourage you to be like Ellora; be “destined to...

Ellora Nielson)In today’s episode, my younger sister and I talk about the Holy Ghost and feeling the spirit. We discuss D&C 8:2-3 which talks about how the spirit speaks truth to your heart and mind. There are lots of ways to feel the spirit: someone may feel an intense pounding of their heart; someone else may feel chills/tingles; someone may get an inspired message in their mind; another may feel at peace; and one individual may feel warmth in their chest … the list goes on. And isn’t it wonderful that the Holy Ghost speaks to us ind...
2025-05-2125 minImperfectly Broken The Podcast190 CLWK: The SuitcaseOkay so you know how sometimes people say (myself included), “you do *not* want to miss this episode!” Ladies and gentlemen … that does not apply today. 🫣 Perhaps you’re wondering, “Kyra, why are you encouraging me to skip this episode?” To that response, I would say, “Great question! Let me explain!” 1- The audio quality isn’t going to make anyone jealous. I had to use my phone again (which is actually amazing if you think about how far technology has come), but that means there is extra background noise and you can hear my breaths more pronounc...

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 u...

Halle Hackings)I have wanted to record this story for a long long time, and I finally had the opportunity to! The truth is that I kept forgetting that I wanted to share this story, and Halle reminded me when she asked about the scars on my arm. They’re pretty intense and hard to miss!After some small talk with Halle, I share the story of how my life changed forever when I broke my arm in half. Yes—in half!For those medical peeps out there, it was a double compound fracture, meaning both bones broke and...

Lydia is such a talented podcaster, and this is her first ever episode!We talk and discuss my Sunday school lesson from the 17th of September. It was all about how trials can be blessings. Now before you decide not to listen because that sounds dumb and invalidating (fair enough), know that it probably is not what you’re expecting it to be. In fact, you might be surprised to hear that my lesson was not the “typical” lesson, and my goal was no...

2023-09-2527 minImperfectly Broken The Podcast76 The Prisoner and the Jailer with Rylee HoltToday’s episode is about depression. A feeling and experience that is so strong and intense that one can feel like both the prisoner and the jailer at the same time.Rylee and I discuss what depression is, what it feels like, what we did/do to find joy, what depression looks like for some, and so on.This episode is not meant to be depressing, but I do read several quotes about depression, and they are real and raw!!! Hopefully, if anything, they are validating or they help you understand what depression feels like.

I felt like it couldn’t haven’t been a coincidence, so I text her and here we are. This conversation is a continuation of the story abou...
