Episode 176: Camille, Landon, Jennah and Emily | Teen perspectives part 2, nearly 5 years later

Ladies and gentlemen and whoever else is listening, thank you again for listening to the show. My guests today are Landon and Camille Pollard, Jennah Lee Sheffield and Emily Parrish. 

Almost 5 years ago, we had all of them on the show in an episode called "Perspectives on Life, Like from Teenagers." They're all official adults now so we invited them all back got their current perspectives on the same questions asked back then. 

We get a glimpse into their developing lives. Oh, and they used the word, "like" a lot less.

Episode 175: Cary and Reiley Snowden | Father-son creators of the Rock Logster app

Ladies and gentlemen and whoever else is listening, welcome back to the program. 

My guests today are Cary and Reiley Snowden, a father-son app development team and creators of Simple Migrane Tracker and most recently, Rock Logster, a music and memory journaling app for those who love concerts.

A blogging and genealogy meets Yelp app of sorts.

The Snowdens use their love and interest in technology to strengthen family bonds. A family that geeks out on technology together, stays together.

Episode 173: Tiffany Sowby | Founder of Rising Violet

Today my guest is Tiffany Sowby, founder of a new foundation, Rising Violet, supporting mostly women who are trying to establish financial independence from previous partners who were the sole bread winners. Many women feel cultural expectations and pressure to rely entirely upon their partners for financial security, but due to death, divorce, and other circumstances, later find they are unable to provide for themselves or their family.  

Tiffany shares her story behind the creation of Rising Violet, who Violet was and why they do what they do. Tiffany is also the co-host of the fun podcast called The Sisterhood Podcast

Episode 172: Eden Strader | Part 3, My message to Mormon parents of gay children. Just love them like we're taught.

Welcome back to the program ya'll.

On the show today is my queer daughter Eden Strader. She came out to us three years ago. The process was a serious growth challenge for us as her parents. We handled it a little bit right but mostly wrong. Not out of malice but ignorance. A lot of damage was done but we've learned how to love better and deeper. It was a rough time in our story but we now have a healthy relationship, loving her as she is and will continue to be. She gives us a lot of back story to...well...her story.

Episode 169: Isaac Steed | From sweet life to survival under the control of FLDS cult leader Warren Jeffs.

Ladies and gentlemen, and whoever else is listening. Welcome back again to the show.

This may be one of the most intriguing episodes in the last 5 years. Several months ago I interviewed author Charlene Paul, Episode 159, who wrote a book called Devotion Deliverance Deception, Keep Sweet - Pray and Obey, Isaac's Story about a young mans' life journey inside the FLDS Church and the world of polygamy and mind control.

Today we have the subject of that book, Isaac Steed with us.

Buckle up for a more in-depth look at what it was like growing up, and living a "happy normal childhood" inside the FLDS Church and the tightrope walking it took to survive under the total and absolute control of the then leader Warren Jeffs and what it was like to be banished in an instant for no apparent reason after literally devoting EVERYTHING to the group.
