Welcome back, my sweet sea cucumbers. Today's episode is a cozy, candlelit kind of storytelling moment. I'm finally sharing something I've never told all in one go before: the story of my spiritual journey over the past decade.From being a devout, scripture-loving Mormon girl at BYU-Idaho to having my world fall apart—and slowly, painfully, beautifully putting it back together again in a whole new way.This story (which I will tell in parts) is about the unraveling, the grief, the identity crisis, the dark nights... but it's also about rediscovering my magic, reclaiming my voice, and finding my own kind of wholeness.If you've ever felt like the ground beneath you gave out, or like you didn't know how to be a “good person” anymore when everything you were taught started to crumble… I made this one for you.Let's get cozy. Let's get real. Let's go back—so we can see how far we've come. This is a public episode.

In this episode of the Great Trials Podcast, Steve Lowry hosts Kimball Jones and Joshua Berrett, partners at Bighorn Law, to discuss a recent landmark case in Clark County, Nevada. The case involved their client, Timothy Kuhn, who suffered severe injuries, including a traumatic brain injury, after being rear-ended.    Remember to rate and review GTP on Apple Podcasts   Case Details: A Nevada state court jury slammed USAA with a $100 million punitive damages verdict in a bad faith lawsuit over the insurance giant's delays in paying out a claim for a zero-fault insured driver involved in a rear-end collision. The Clark County jury awarded the $100 million, in addition to $14 million in compensatory damages, over USAA's actions following a 2018 collision involving plaintiff Timothy Kuhn. USAA determined Kuhn was not at fault after being rear-ended in stationary highway traffic, but when Kuhn sued the driver who hit him to collect damages related to a concussion USAA intervened and argued Kuhn was responsible for the crash. Despite clear fault and significant medical expenses, USAA Casualty Insurance Company failed to reasonably handle his underinsured motorist claim, resulting in prolonged litigation. Jones and Barrett elaborate on the trial strategy, highlighting issues of insurance bad faith and the impressive jury verdict of $7 million in compensatory and $100 million in punitive damages against USAA.
