This episode will resonate for anyone who is a caregiver of neurodiverse children. It’s amazing and so needed and helpful. I love how she said that it can be lonely. It really can. My husband and I have often felt alone in our journey with three neurodiverse children. It’s hard sometimes. I love...

Healing. It takes time. Effort. Patience. It’s going to hurt. It just is. It’s no different from physical healing. When you get physically hurt, there is pain. Healing physically includes pain. Healing emotionally and mentally is no exception. But it is so worth it. When you take the time and pu...

I’m going to split this up into two parts. For Parents: You are responsible for your child. Period. Your child relies on you for a safe space. For comfort. Love. Safety. Everything. You are your child’s everything. Take that responsibility seriously. Always. For everyone: Notice what’s going o...

It was an absolute pleasure to be able to record with E.S. and Olivia. They are lovely people and I thoroughly enjoyed being able to talk with them. What I really hope that you will take away from this episode is that you are okay. You are “normal.” Whatever you have going on, it’s okay. You h...

Doug is an amazing man and we had such a wonderful time talking. Mental health is so important but is often left by the wayside and ignored. Doug absolutely understands this and does everything he can to help others. Something he spoke about that I especially loved was that he can’t fix people. He...

JJ and I met at BYU in the theatre program. I am seriously so, so grateful that I had the chance to meet him. He’s an amazing, fun, kind human and I count myself very lucky to know him. I will admit to being a bit naive/ignorant when it comes to the transgender experience. It’s something I’ve ...

Wow. Chelsea is a beautiful and amazing human being. Especially with everything that she has been through. She is not hardened or closed off, but rather sweet, kind, and welcoming. I wish you could just be in her presence for a little while so you could feel the love and kindness that she emanates.

Jacob Dunford is seriously amazing. He has done so much good and is so kind. I loved being able to talk to him. I honestly don’t feel like there is anything I can add to this episode. He is fabulous. Just remember that you are amazing. You are wonderful just the way you are. Be yourself, “show t...

This episode re-released today! It’s a great one. I’ve been very quiet during Pride Month, but that’s only because we have had a LOT going on. I think it’s pretty obvious by now that I fully love and support those in the LGBTQ+ community. And if you have lost friends or family because of who you love, know that you have a friend, sister, or mother in me.

Ben Spackensen is the amazing human in this episode. He talks about having shingles, not connecting to his emotions, and being in a heteros*xual marriage that eventually ended, and how he is now married to a man where he can be authentically himself. It’s a great listen. Listen on your favorite app or at scarsweshare.com/podcast/episode087

Ben was an absolute pleasure to talk with. His physical scar deals with a pretty rough experience with shingles. His internal scar is based on how he pushed his emotions down for so long they became difficult to access. There is so much more to the story though! Ben is gay, a former Mormon, has thr

There is still so much I don’t know or understand about the transgender experience. But here is one thing that I do know. They deserve love and support just like everyone else. They have inherent worth just like everyone else. Because they’re human. They shouldn’t be an “other.” Everyone d...

Travis is such a lively, fun person to talk with. He has overcome a lot in his life. He gives just a few glimpses into it all in this episode of Scars We Share.

Terry was an absolute joy and pleasure to record with. He’s fun, empathetic, energetic, and kind. I’m sure that comes through easily in the recording. Two things I want to mention that came up in this episode. You are amazing. You have something to offer that no one else does. You are unique and

Things have been a bit rough lately. I’ve been dealing with some health issues and I am exhausted. Mentally, emotionally, and physically. Just utterly exhausted. So I decided to give myself a little grace, hence taking a little break this week. Remember to give yourself grace and a break when you

Karina was so fun to record with. She’s such a positive person, it’s difficult not to feel happy when talking with her. I love where our conversation ended up. Trust yourself. Listen to yourself. Call it intuition, gut instinct, or a higher power. Listen to it. If something feels off, listen to ...

This episode is a bit different from what I normally do, but it was fun. I have talked about my husband, Spencer, quite a bit on the show. It was about time I had him on.

Whew… there is so much in this episode and it would probably take a whole other episode for me to express all of my thoughts on it. I will mention just a few things briefly. As I said in the outro of the episode. If something is toxic for you, take it out of your life. You deserve joy and happines...

Addiction. Mental illness. Trauma. Su***de. I am so, so grateful that so many people are willing to open their mouths and talk about these things. These things are important. Necessary. They need to be talked about, but sometimes they become taboo topics. Making a topic taboo and difficult to talk

Oh this episode. Khrystalle and I met in a post-mormon group on Facebook and I felt an instant connection with her. She voices so many things that resonate with me. We spent a chunk of time talking about s*x. Which is extremely important within the LDS Church. And other religions, I’m sure. If an

So much of the time you don’t think you have a whole lot to offer yourself. In reality, you are the most important thing you have. Yourself. You are worthy as you are. You are wise. You are the only person who has ever been through exactly what you have been through. Take time on yourself. Show up

There’s so much that was talked about in this episode, as per usual. But I want to stick on what I will call women empowerment. So much of what Dr. Susan Madsen does is to help women use their voice and become leaders. That cannot happen if you don’t believe you’re worth listening to. Trust me...

I recorded with Leah quite some time ago. Back in October. I needed her message so much. It was the encouragement and reminder that I desperately needed when going through a faith transition and trying to figure out myself again. I think that learning who you are is a life long process. You are cons

Mo has been through so much and is still such a lovely person. It’s always interesting to me that many times, the people who have been through the most, are some of the kindest people. She even talks a little bit about how her experiences have allowed her to be more compassionate and empathetic to...
