In Ep. 46 Kylee Shields talks with her friend Leavitt about her service dog, Bear, her horse, Koba and about the life of a traveling photographer, and more.ABOUT OUR GUEST: Leavitt Wells is a concert and theater photographer who works where most people can’t — in the dark. Specializing in low-light live performance, she captures the split-second expressions, movement, and connections that make concerts and theatrical productions unforgettable.Her career has taken her to arenas, amphitheaters, and theaters all over the world, documenting artists and productions at the highest level. She is known for moving seamlessly through high-energy, high-pressure environments while staying deeply attuned to the story unfolding on stage — watching for the moments that most people miss.But for Leavitt, the work has never just been about the stage. Spending so much time in loud rooms and behind bright lights has shaped her understanding of belonging — what it feels like to stand on the edges of something powerful, to witness it without needing to be the center of it. Photography has taught her to be present, to notice, and to honor stories as they unfold.Offstage, belonging looks different. It’s being home and being in a place where she strives to make everyone around her feel wanted, needed and loved. It looks like life with her husband, Jeremy, her sweet service dog, Bear, and preparing to welcome their first child any day now.ABOUT OUR GUEST:LISTEN/SUBSCRIBE TO “The Belonging Place” PODCAST:*YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheBelongingPlace *Apple Music - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-belonging-place-with-kylee-shields/id1736354936 *Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-belonging-place CONNECT WITH “THE BELONGING PLACE”All Links: https://thebelongingplace.komi.io/ *Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/the_belonging_place/ *TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thebelongingplace?lang=en *YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheBelongingPlace *Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheBelongingPlacePodcast/ CONNECT WITH KYLEE SHIELDS*website:http://www.leaveittoleavitt.com*Facebook:*Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leaveittoleavitt?igsh=c2hhazc0MWNnMTF2&utm_source=qrPRODUCTION CREDITS:Intro/Outro Music: Kimberly Knighton https://www.instagram.com/kimberlyknightonmusic/ Recorded at Mindset Content Creation StudiosProduced by Tommy MooreBrought to you by Vodcasts by Tommy Moore Presents - https://www.instagram.com/vodcasts_by_tommymoore/

In Ep. 38 of “The Belonging Place” Kylee sits down to talk with renown Mormon Sex Therapist Dr. Jennifer Finlayson Fife about her new book, speaking at the upcoming RESTORE Conference by Faith Matters, and more. This episode dives into Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife’s journey as a mother, sister, wife, therapist, researcher, and educator helping Latter-day Saints and others navigate sexuality, faith, marriage, and belonging. She shares her personal wrestling with faith, gender roles, and truth-seeking, and how these shaped not only her career but also her life.ABOUT OUR GUEST: JENNIFER FINLAYSON FIFEJennifer Finlayson-Fife is a therapist, educator, and coach with a doctorate in Counseling Psychology. For over two decades, she has helped individuals and couples-particularly within the LDS community-strengthen their relationships and develop a more integrated view of sexuality. Through her online courses, live workshops, and Room for Two podcast, she has supported the emotional and sexual development of thousands. Known for her clarity, compassion, depth, and humor, Dr. Finlayson-Fife is a sought-after voice on the topics of faith, intimate relationships, and personal growth.Jennifer Finlayson-Fife has helped couples create stronger, more passionate relationships for decades. When she started her private practice in 2007, it quickly became evident that there was more demand for my relationship advice than I could reasonably sustain. So, in an effort to reach and support a larger audience, she drew upon her training as a mental health counselor, along with her dissertation research, and created five impactful online courses to help couples improve their emotional and sexual relationships. Each course is founded upon the effective life and marriage-changing principles that her clients have found most beneficial. This instructional format gives couples immediate access to her input, for a fraction of the cost of private coaching. The powerful principles taught in my courses are further solidified in Room for Two, where you can listen in on her coaching with other anonymous couples. The perspectives she offers and the paradigms upon which they are based empower couples to create richer, happier intimate relationships.LISTEN/SUBSCRIBE TO “The Belonging Place” PODCAST:*Apple Music - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-belonging-place-with-kylee-shields/id1736354936 *Spotify - https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-belonging-place CONNECT WITH KYLEE SHIELDS:All Links: https://thebelongingplace.komi.io/ *Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/the_belonging_place/ *TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thebelongingplace?lang=en *YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheBelongingPlace  *Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheBelongingPlacePodcast/ CONNECT WITH JENNIFER FINLAYSON FIFE*Book Release Event - https://luma.com/lisoj4mp *Restore Tickets - https://whova.com/portal/registration/AoubaqMKb3LglCefb7V5/ *Preorder Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife’s new book That We Might Have Joy! - https://bookshop.org/p/books/that-we-might-have-joy-desire-divinity-intimate-love/31f213c4745fcc87?ean=9781953677273&next=t&next=t&affiliate=108982PRODUCTION CREDITS:Intro/Outro Music: Kimberly Knighton https://www.instagram.com/kimberlyknightonmusic/ Recorded at Mindset Content Creation StudiosProduced by Tommy MooreBrought to you by Vodcasts by Tommy Moore Presents - https://www.instagram.com/vodcasts_by_tommymoore/

A husband, father of four, and structural engineer by trade, Jake’s true passion lies in shaping something far more important than buildings—human connection.For much of his life, Jake followed a familiar path: work hard, build a career, provide for his family. But along the way, he realized that life isn’t just about what we build—it’s about who we become. His journey has led him to embrace change, prioritize relationships, and help others do the same.Jake writes children's books, not to make a name for himself, but to pass on the lessons he hopes his kids—and others—will carry with them.

His next book, already in the works, explores the importance of building confidence in ourselves through experience and taking the leap to overcome external and internal fears.Beyond writing, Jake coaches engineers and technical professionals, helping them balance ambition with a life that feels whole and fulfilling.

In this episode Kylee Shields talks with her friend Charan Prabhakar all about life, the importance of meditation, and he showcases his humor. Charan also talks about the  importance of having a personal relationship with Christ and how that has blessed his life. ABOUT OUR GUEST CHARAN PRABHAKAR: Known for decimating entire populations with a suffocating amount of peace and joy, Charan Prabhakar lives and breathes acting like he does when living in the present.  Not necessarily living in the present as one might think, but living in an actual present that is wrapped up in a tight bow and handed to a loved one.   Obviously, there would need to be holes poked in this box so he could breathe.  After a string of independent films in UT, Charan took his "living inside of a present" mentality to LA, where he stumbled, fell, and kept going, audition and after audition.  And it paid off.  After landing a great role on the Chosen, more TV and film credit followed.   He’s now back in UT producing and acting in movies that speak to his soul.  Charan’s true passion is to help people come alive.  To find that inner joy within and to share that light with the world.  He uses acting as a way to experience a more abundant life and is very excited to teach others to do the same!
