Lisa, the youngest of six children, was raised in Novato, California, and New Canaan, Connecticut. Lisa and her husband, Josh, have spent the past 17 years in Ladera Ranch, California, raising their five children (their oldest just started her first year at BYU). Lisa, a credentialed elementary school teacher, left teaching to join her husband in opening a residential real estate company servicing Orange County, California. But life has seemed to tell her "not so fast" this year, causing Lisa to go back to her roots and deciding to homeschool her remaining four children at home, all while continuing to sell homes. She lives a crazy life but loves the gospel, which is sustaining her during these unusual times.

Jill was born and raised in the small town of Heber, Arizona, where God chose to concentrate a high percentage of “salt of the earth” people. Raised by two great parents, one Latter-day Saint and one who doesn’t believe in God, her 50/50 upbringing shaped her perspective on God, families, the gospel and the Church (pssst they aren’t the same thing). She graduated from ASU in ‘97, worked a while, then stayed home to raise kids, and in 2014 jumped back into the workforce where she created and ran a youth program for kids who have a loved one with ALS. She has a super cool and genuinely nice husband (Kristin’s brother) who is a really good psychiatric nurse and amusing storyteller. They have four very fun kids each with hair that spans the neapolitan ice cream spectrum (strawberry = redhead) which draws amused comments from most people. She currently lives in Spokane, Washington, where God prompted them to move during a pandemic because apparently He wanted to have more conversations with her. That hope was fulfilled as she honed her skills of sincere and honest prayer conversations because as it turns out, pandemic + teenagers + move across the country = hard. She hearts all the good things in life: road trips, going barefoot, artisan ice cream, and Canada.

Trace was born in Quincy, Illinois, part of the Nauvoo district and final resting place to his relative Frederick G. Williams. Later his family moved to Grass Valley, California, nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains between Lake Tahoe and Sacramento. Northern California is where Trace calls home and the place that shaped his interests in snowboarding, the outdoors and art. Trace enjoys landscape photography and travel with his wife, Susan, (a former guest on the podcast) and his four children. Two of his children are serving full-time missions. A daughter is serving in the Washington Kennewick Mission and his son is called to the Japan Fukuoka Mission with a reassignment near his sister in the Washington Tacoma Mission. Trace served in the Argentina Buenos Aires South Mission and has fond memories of the people, food and being branch president to an all-sister branch.

Robert is the seventh child out of eight and grew up in Dallas, Texas, and then the Bay Area in California. Though having pioneer heritage on all sides of his family, Robert felt detached from his roots until attending BYU and being surrounded by others of his faith. He really got to feel his roots when he was called to the Idaho Pocatello Mission (The Lord really knows what we need). With a new found love for eastern Idaho, Robert returned to Provo, Utah, and met his wife and worked toward becoming a dentist. Life happened, and bills for babies were due, and Robert took a role in sales thinking the dream to work in peoples' mouths would always be there. Twenty-five years, five children, two dogs, and lots of backyard chickens later, Robert is loving his life with all the twists and turns and working as the Chief Revenue Officer for Tech9 in Salt Lake City, Utah. When not in a Zoom meeting, Robert loves to ride his bikes (both road and mountain), eat breakfast cereal, and play keeper for the family co-ed indoor soccer team.

Born and raised Catholic, Marcos never had any intentions of every leaving his faith, but God had other plans that steered his life in a completely different direction.

Aside from that, she’s probably a lot like your Grandma. She likes to spend time with family, is addicted to the library app, and listening to audiobooks while cleaning. Her favorite hobbies are digging in the yard, doing Monday-level New York Times crossword puzzles, and taking care of her family (including extended family and those friends she claims as family). Ruth delights in thrift stores and has a talent for finding good things. Other hobbies include watching documentaries, America’s Test Kitchen, and Monty Don gardening shows. She shows her love to others by cooking and baking for them, and she is the neighborhood go-to for missing ingredients. Fun facts include that she can rarely follow a recipe exactly, and that she has a habit of tinkering in the kitchen using only what she has on hand. According to her kids, she is “really good at cooking,” the “best mom in the world,” “caring,” and “good at drawing slugs."
