Life/podcast update!
As you all know Aubrie’s family is in the middle of a huge move from Oklahoma to the suburbs of Chicago. Next week is the big day! With that we have run out of time to record and edit any episodes. So for now we will be taking a break to get moved. Kathleen has some big news as well but we will share as soon as we are able. We aren’t sure how long the break will be but we will come back for some updates and take the summer off and come back full swing (whatever that means) with season 4 in September or October.
Thanks for all the support you all have given through this crazy year and we look forward to whatever life brings in this new era.

New Episode!!
Aubrie is having major regrets on the move. Head over to where ever you listen to your podcasts to hear the update on the move.
Ah, a fresh new Morning Show. This episode was recorded 2-3 weeks from the posting date. Kathleen, her husband, and her close friends went to a Chicago rave, we talk about Reesa Teesa and gossiping, what it means to be "born in the covenant" as a Mormon, and a little update on Aubrie's move.
On this that once was resurrection day for some of us, may you be free of whatever you’ve had to walk away from.
Sending love and light to each one of you on this beautiful Sunday morning
Run, don’t walk! To order ’s new book Whole. Whole is poem book number 3. Unbelieve and Jaded are the first 2 and if you know you know. If you don’t know…well what are you waiting for. They are great books about deconstructing Christianity, processing the lies we were told as women and moms, and there are some good laughs in there too. I love how each book has space for you to write and process your own feelings. I have come to treasure each book as if it were a close friend. Please go follow and order her book on Amazon or .
Love to each one of you from Chicago! We hope to be back as soon as possible

We hope to drop more episodes soon 🎙️💫

Episode Highlight!
Shout out to the one and only David Fitzgerald. He saw one of our posts from our first season and thought that our podcast was cool. David is an author and the first atheist we encountered as a guest on the podcast. He was an absolute delight and we are both honored to call him friend to this day.

Oh my gosh you guys...we weren't sure if we were even going to highlight this one but decided "eh why not". This was the season 1 finale and boy were times different back then. We are taking y'all WAY TF back and not just back to when Aubrie was Christian but when she was singing the praises of Life.Church Owasso. Though things have clearly changed feel free to listen and reflect on just how much, or don't bc CRINGE! The best part is hearing Kathleen's opinion on everything.
Take a journey with us as Aubrie takes Kathleen to her church to get the real Life.Church experience. We got to sit down with Campus Pastor Richie Leber of Owasso, Oklahoma where he answered a few questions we had for him. After that we give you a summary of what Kathleen, a once Mormon thought of a non denominational church. Did she covert and is now a member? No, but she did go and this is what she had to say about it.

Episode Highlight!!
We had the joy of sitting down with the wonderful people at Return Home, and let me tell you, it was a delight. We learned so much about non-traditional after-death services, and how to better care for the environment even after death!
Return Home™ is a full-service green funeral home offering a sustainable and ethical alternative to burial and cremation.
We gently transform human remains into life-giving soil using a process we call Terramation™, also known as human composting. This allows families to travel the journey of grief at their heart’s pace and empowers them to make meaningful end-of-life decisions that give back to our planet.

Episode Highlight!
What does dating nightmares have to do with being a Christian or an Atheist? Absolutely nothing. This episode is purely for fun and fun was had. This is a little more racier than any of our other ones. Language is bleeped out but s*x is talked about, not in crazy detail or anything. Most of our dating nightmares are based in our college days but some were in high school. Kathleen shares about how she dated a guy who thought he got her pregnant when in reality there was no humanly possible way for that to even happen but when you go to a Mormon University there is no telling how poorly taught these guys are on s*x. Aubrie talks about how her boyfriend broke up with her over text message and this is the guy who gladly took her V card when he knew dang well she was waiting until marriage, he was a persistent one I guess (insert puke face). Kathleen speaks on all the boys who were so smitten over her that some even proposed, we get it, she's STUNNING and has a great personality but come on! We also go into Aubrie's most BORING date ever...it was so bad...cringy bad. There are so many more so we can't wait for you to get to take a listen and cringe and giggle with us.

Have you ever wanted to know more about the Jewish culture and what is Judaism? Aubrie and Kathleen sit down with Rabbi Jasper and have a very relaxed conversation about the similarities and differences of Christianity and Judaism. We get to touch on what Judaism says about LGBTQ+ and how they combat antisemitism.This is a great episode that we enjoyed getting to create for our listeners. We can't thank Rabbi Jasper and Temple Israel in Tulsa, Oklahoma enough for allowing us to record this episode and opening their doors for us to experience Sabath with them. This recording was recorded before the bombings of Israel that happened in late 2023.

This was so fun to do with Alistair. We recently reached out to Alistair and they said that they have grown so much since the episode was recorded and have different perspectives. They also are in a really special relationship that they talked about wanting in this episode.
We hope you enjoy this fun throw back.

You thought we were done making big announcements....nope. Friday at midnight on YouTube our newest episode will drop announcing what our news is. You can get it on all other podcasts Friday morning like usual. What do you think it is? hint: there may or may not be an Easter egg in this video.
Episode highlight! Season one we sat down during Christmas time and talked about how both of us celebrate. This was still when Aubrie's family did Christmas as a celebration of Jesus' birth. Kathleen talked about how her family as one who isn't religious does both Christmas and Easter. It's a fun episode and we hope you enjoy.
