In this intimate episode, Neal and Naomi sit down with their daughter Rosalyn for a raw conversation about growing up LDS, navigating childhood depression, losing her sister, surviving her mother’s alcoholism during COVID, and living with chronic illness. Together, they explore grief, forgiveness, boundaries, and the long road toward healing as a family.

In this candid and unexpectedly hilarious episode of Unequally Yoked Us Now, Neal and Naomi dive into the real story of Neal’s Mormon mission to Ireland (1994–96) — the rules, the culture, the sister‑missionary drama, the loneliness, and the surprising ways young elders sought connection. Naomi brings her Irish heritage and spiritual perspective, challenging and teasing Neal as they unpack gender roles, priesthood power, mission expectations, and the emotional realities of missionary life. From St. Patrick’s Day debates to holding hands with a male companion during a prayer, this episode blends humor, vulnerability, and cultural insight in a way only these two can. Perfect for listeners curious about LDS missions, religious deconstruction, mixed‑faith marriage, or the human side of belief.
