The In Between

In this episode of In-Between, I’m joined by my Nana while I’m visiting her in Arizona, and we talk through her really unique faith journey across different seasons of life. She grew up Catholic in a big family, went to Catholic school, and then later transitioned into public high school—something that really shifted how she experienced her faith.We also get into what faith looked like for her as a teenager compared to now, how it changed when she became a mom and went through hard seasons in life, and even some funny and memorable high school stories. I also share a bit about my own experience navigating faith in different schools and why church and chapel have felt so different for me. It’s an honest conversation about growing up, changing beliefs, and figuring out what faith really looks like at different stages of life.

This week on The In Between, I’m joined by my 13-year-old brother for a real and honest conversation about what guys actually think. We talk about middle school pressure, fitting in, friendships, social media, and faith—plus clear up some of the things girls tend to overthink the most. If you’ve ever wondered what really goes on in a guy’s mind or felt overwhelmed by insecurity and expectations, this episode brings a fresh perspective and a reminder that you’re not as judged as you think—and you’re definitely not alone.

In this first episode of The In Between, we sit down with Brae, a junior at Valor Christian High School, to talk about what it’s really like being a guy trying to live out his faith in a busy high school environment.We discuss how faith shows up in everyday school life through classes, chapel, and friendships, and how easy it can be to get distracted or feel disconnected. Bray shares his thoughts on peer pressure, especially around social situations and choices like drinking, and how he tries to stay grounded in what he believes.We also talk about a common question among teens: what does it really mean to have faith when you still mess up? The conversation dives into grace, repentance, and the idea of actually living out your beliefs instead of just knowing them.This episode is an honest look at the tension between faith, pressure, and everyday life as a high school student.

High school is messy, confusing, and sometimes overwhelming—especially when you’re trying to grow in your faith at the same time. The In Between is a podcast for teenage girls navigating friendships, identity, pressure, and purpose through honest conversations, real stories, and encouragement you can actually relate to. No perfect answers—just real life, real faith, and a reminder that you’re never alone.
