Don’t Dim Your Light – S2E17

In today’s episode, we get honest about relationships that ask us to be less—less successful, less expressive, less us. We talk about the subtle ways people can chip away at your confidence, from cheating to telling you your dreams are “too much.” Whether it’s a partner who’s insecure or a dynamic that makes you question your worth, we explore how to choose relationships that feel like sunlight, not shade. Your light deserves to be protected, not dimmed.

We also dive into the idea of being a “cafeteria Mormon”—someone who picks and chooses aspects of the faith based on personal conviction and lived experience. It’s a real and honest conversation about the tension between cultural expectations, church teachings, and personal revelation. We explore how it can feel both liberating and conflicting to follow your heart while still wanting to stay rooted in your faith, and how navigating that space requires grace, courage, and trust in your own spiritual journey.
