In this two-part conversation with Laura Titensor, the host of The SolScript Podcast, we dive into the powerful and often painful cost of trying to belong while losing your voice. Laura invited me onto her podcast to share this story so you can hear it here and on her show.

Laura opens up about the moment she first realized her spiritual authority had been quieted when she was publicly shut down teaching a group of young women and how that shifted everything about her faith, identity, and relationships. Together we talk about the deep ache which came from that loss, and what it looks like to begin reclaiming your voice without abandoning love.

In the second half of our conversation, we reflect on how these experiences affect family, marriage, parenting, and the way we define love and belonging. What does it really mean to love authentically when curiosity replaces judgment? How do we support the people we care about through major identity shifts, even when it feels like we’re losing our place in their world? This episode is for anyone who’s wrestled with the cost of belonging, the courage to speak up, and the road back to themselves.

In this episode, we sit down with Ashley Buckner, LMFT, to talk honestly about something many people in high control/demand religions or groups feel but struggle to name: religious trauma.

Together, we explore what religious trauma actually is, how it shows up in individuals and families, and why it often goes unrecognized in deeply faith-centered communities.

Ashley brings a therapist’s clarity and compassion to a complex topic, helping us distinguish between healthy faith, harmful systems, and the quiet wounds that can linger when belief, identity, and belonging collide. This conversation isn’t about tearing down faith—it’s about awareness, accountability, and the possibility of healing and growth for individuals and for the church itself.

Davos has a reputation. A snowy playground for global elites, billionaires, and world leaders deciding the future behind closed doors. But is that actually the full picture? In this conversation, my guest and friend, Paul Burgon, returning from his second visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, offers a grounded, on-the-ground perspective that challenges the stereotype.

He shares how surprisingly accessible the conference can be for people outside the halls of power, the contagious energy that spills far beyond the official sessions, and why Davos is filled with people who are genuinely passionate about making meaningful change in the world. This is a candid look at Davos—not as an idea, but as an experience.

Ethan and Leland reflect on what it means to be close—not just physically, but emotionally—to a moment that altered the course of many lives. Just 20 feet away, they found themselves inside a violent, chaotic event surrounding the Charlie Kirk assassination at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Seconds felt suspended and normalcy vanished.

This conversation isn’t about replaying headlines or assigning meaning too quickly; it’s about memory, proximity, and the quiet aftermath that lingers long after the crowd disperses and media stories fade. What stays with you when you realize you were close enough to history to feel it move?

Ladies and gentlemen and whoever else is listening. My guest today is Samantha, the host and creator of the TikTok and Instagram accounts MormWithThoseWhoMormed.

WARNING: The opinions of the host and our guests have not been sanitized or scientifically tested so please consume at your own risk.

There’s a phrase often lobbed at former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who continue to speak openly about their experience: “They can leave the Church, but they can’t leave it alone.”

Today, Samantha helps us unpack the real and often overlooked why behind that sentiment.

So get comfy. Bring an open heart and a curious mind, and join us as She takes us on a thoughtful, honest, and occasionally witty tour through her brain..

My guest today is Jashub Hinton, a 14-year-old piano composer whose talent far exceeds his upcoming driver’s license privileges. Jashub recently released a beautiful new arrangement of one of our all-time favorite Christmas classics Carol of The Bells.

He joins us today to talk about his journey—how he got started, how he’s grown as a musician, and how not listening to his parents may have contributed to his current addiction… to the piano. It’s a condition he may be managing for the rest of his life—and honestly, we’re all better for it.

So, Piano Guys...fair warning, This kid is coming for you.
