My channel is an advocate for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints because it promotes Christ-centered living, strong families, intentional discipleship, and values that are deeply aligned with the gospel. Through conversations about faith, motherhood, marriage, hospitality, identity, and building a Christ-centered home, I aim to reflect the teachings of Jesus Christ in a way that feels approachable, uplifting, and authentic. Rather than focusing on controversy or division, the purpose of His House is to create content that strengthens faith, encourages people to draw closer to Christ, and highlights the beauty of living the gospel in everyday life with young children. I also hope to represent LDS culture in a thoughtful and positive way by sharing honest conversations, meaningful stories, and examples of people striving to follow Jesus imperfectly but intentionally. At its core, His House exists to encourage people to build homes and lives centered on Christ, which closely aligns with the mission and values of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Every guest I have is a LDS mom. We talk about a variety of topics but in every single episode, I start with the question "What has God been putting on your heart lately?" This question has facilitated the most beautiful discussions about revelation and how God guides moms as they're striving to follow Jesus in this phase.
Just to provide a little background to my story: I grew up a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and have always loved my faith and shared it openly. I remember bearing my testimony almost every fast Sunday in high school simply because I loved the way it made me feel. Even from a young age, I loved storytelling and media. In middle school, I dreamed of becoming a news anchor and even toured KSL’s studio as well as Good Morning America in New York City. Throughout high school, I took several years of video production and broadcast journalism classes, and somewhere along the way, that dream shifted toward wanting to work on the Light the World campaign.As a freshman at BYU, I continued honing my video skills and started filming wedding videos to make extra money. I also openly shared my faith on social media throughout my teenage years. Eventually, I decided to serve a mission and was called to the Baltic Mission speaking Estonian. I loved my mission deeply and truly had never felt more “brim with joy,” as Alma describes.When I returned home, I continued my education at BYU, met my husband, got married, and graduated with a degree in Communications with an emphasis in Public Relations. After graduation, I received offers from both BonCom (where they produce Light the World) and Crumbl’s corporate marketing team. I ultimately chose Crumbl because of their maternity leave policy and salary offer. I genuinely loved my time working there, but I always felt there was something more I was meant to do.My biggest dream in life had always been to become a mother. While working at Crumbl, I had my first baby. It was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life — heaven had never felt nearer. But only eight days later, I woke up with severe cramping and was rushed back to the hospital with a severe uterine infection that carried an almost universally fatal prognosis. Suddenly, my life was on the line, and the likelihood of me surviving to raise my son felt incredibly small.We had thousands of people praying for us across the world, and through what I can only describe as New Testament-level miracles, my life was spared — but only after an emergency hysterectomy, intubation, and two weeks in the ICU. It was an intense, messy, and traumatic entrance into motherhood, but it completely changed my understanding of Jesus Christ. I learned that He truly has the power to step into our messes and make them holy.Looking back, that first month of motherhood still brings tears to my eyes — not just because of the grief and trauma, though there was certainly some of that, but because I saw the tangible power of Jesus. Not only His power to heal, but His power to make us whole in the hard, messy, and even mundane moments. Suddenly, changing a diaper at 2 a.m. no longer felt burdensome. I felt overwhelmingly lucky to simply be there. Motherhood itself felt sacred.While recovering in the hospital, I had a constant stream of visitors. Nearly every person told me about their experiences praying for me and how witnessing such a real miracle had changed their own faith. Somewhere in that experience, I realized God never intended for my story to end there. He intended to use it. Ever since then, I’ve shared openly about how my testimony, perspective, and relationship with Jesus changed because of that experience. I’ve also shared how much joy I’ve found in motherhood because of this newfound perspective on life.About 18 months ago, after the birth of our second baby — who my mom selflessly carried as our gestational carrier, another experience that taught me so much about Jesus — I was sitting in the temple when I had a distinct prompting: start a podcast called His House. I didn’t know exactly what it meant or what it would become, but I went home and secured the Instagram handle. And there it sat for an entire year.During that year, I worked as the Marketing Director for Good News Brand, where I managed content calendars, influencer marketing, and much of the content creation for podcasts like This Is Kingdom, Don’t Miss This, and Inklings. I also built a side business in wedding and family photography. Then unexpectedly, we moved across the country to Arkansas for my husband’s job.After moving and starting over completely — suddenly without a job and far from everything familiar — I kept feeling this quiet push to do something more. One morning in late November, after my kids had been sick all morning with a stomach bug, I went on a walk praying about what God wanted me to do. The prompting came back clearly: His House. And all at once, it felt like floodgates opening. Ideas poured in.I realized every part of my life had prepared me for this — my broadcast classes, my photography and video experience, my work at Good News Brand, my time teaching at the MTC, even my experience in the hospital. It genuinely felt like God had been paving the way for this for more than a decade.The very next day, I announced that I was starting a podcast. I reached out to Good News Brand, and they generously offered their studio space whenever I needed it. I immediately began scheduling guests for our next trip to Utah, and on January 1st, the first episode of His House went live. Since then, I’ve recorded over 20 episodes with several more ready to release, and the Instagram account has grown to over 13,000 followers on Instagram and nearly 9,000 streams and downloads on Spotify in just four months. I’ve had dozens of mothers reach out to tell me how deeply the podcast has impacted them.Because we travel back to Utah frequently, it has made the most sense to batch-record episodes while we’re in town. I also have a home setup in Arkansas for remote interviews or local guests, but the majority of episodes have been recorded in the Good News Brand studio. I recently found out that their studio lease ends in June and won’t be renewed, so I posted online asking if anyone knew of other podcast studios in Utah where I could continue recording during our trips. That’s when Kenna Elizabeth Art sent me your information.And now I’ll finally answer the questions :)My biggest hope for His House — and what I’ve felt God’s vision for it has been from the very beginning — is to help young mothers in the middle of dirty diapers, dirty dishes, and sleepless nights fall in love with Jesus and this season of motherhood at the same time. One of the hardest parts of becoming a mother for me was how difficult it suddenly felt to connect spiritually. I listened to LDS podcasts for young adults and for older adults, but I often felt like nothing fully resonated with the unique spiritual tension of early motherhood. I didn’t have endless hours to study scripture or quiet moments to hear the still small voice the way I once had.And yet I knew Jesus still wanted me to feel joy and closeness to Him in this season. I realized that if it felt difficult for me — even after all the miracles and perspective I had been given — then it had to feel difficult for other mothers too. It felt like there was a gap, and I felt deeply that God was asking me to help fill it.My hope is to inspire mothers to find Jesus in the messy moments and to know they don’t have to give up on spirituality just because it feels harder to access in this phase of life. One of my biggest inspirations while building His House was Mary in Luke 1 and 2. I kept thinking about the fact that Mary created the first home Jesus ever knew — His House. It was likely simple and far from ideal, but because He was there, it was holy.These early years of motherhood are full of repetitive routines, exhaustion, and days that stretch you beyond what you think you can handle. But they can also be sacred, transformative, and deeply holy when Jesus is invited into them. That’s the vision of His House: helping mothers see that, feel that, and experience Christ in the middle of ordinary life.My target audience is mothers with children ages 0–5 who are in the thick of stay-at-home life — the moms giving everything they have to their children while trying to intentionally raise disciples of Jesus Christ.As far as resources go, I primarily need a place to record while I’m in Utah. Right now, I edit and manage all of my own content, but eventually I would love to build a small team to help with editing and social media management. I would also love to expand onto Pinterest and TikTok, but at this stage, I’m trying to balance growth while still being fully present with my two children.To me, success looks like mothers feeling seen, spiritually strengthened, and inspired to find Jesus in this phase of life. After almost dying, I’ve learned to cherish the tantrums, the early mornings, the sticky hands, and the ordinary moments of motherhood. So much of that perspective has come from learning to find Jesus in the mundane and romanticize the life I once prayed so desperately to keep. I truly believe Jesus wants us to experience joy in this season, even when it’s hard.I think mothers care what I have to say because they know how hard I fought to become and remain a mother. My experiences in the hospital, the loss of my fertility, and our journey through surrogacy have all deepened the way I view motherhood and family. People can feel how deeply I cherish this season, even on the hardest days. I’ve also had sacred spiritual experiences that preserved my opportunity to continue motherhood earthside, and I think those experiences have given me both perspective and a meaningful voice in conversations surrounding motherhood, faith, and finding Jesus in ordinary life.
I have always been an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and it has always been my identity. I love Jesus and I really do view this church as His. I have had questions and my hard times, but I cling to my covenants and trust the character of the Jesus I know. That is what gets me through all my hard days as a mom. I'm an active temple recommend holder and teach relief society in my ward.
