Lindsey is currently attending the University of Wyoming studying Agricultural Education and she lives in Laramie Wyoming.

In this episode, Lindsey & I chat about her journey from sunny California to wide‑open Wyoming—and how that move reshaped her sense of community, politics, and faith. Growing up conservative but never quite fitting neatly into any party, Lindsey shares how her experiences in two very different places taught her the power of kindness over judgment.

We dive into her deep belief in letting people be who they are, loving without preconditions, and resisting the urge to hate those who see the world differently. Join us as Lindsey explains how her faith anchors her commitment to respect, empathy, and understanding—even when our beliefs don’t line up.

McKay is a freelance writer & producer, as well as full-time barista, living in Salt Lake City, UT. Mckay has lived all over the world and has so many incredible experiences to share with us, so I couldn’t be more excited to kick off this podcasting journey with him.

In this episode, I sit down with McKay to talk about growing up in a deeply conservative household — and what happens when your lived experience starts to challenge the beliefs you were raised with.

McKay shares the moments that made him question, reflect, and eventually reshape his worldview. From faith to politics, we talk about what it means to evolve your thinking without losing yourself — and how finding your own voice can sometimes mean unlearning what you once accepted as truth.
