    The Little Things Are the Big Things

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) It’s our Monday catch-up episode and we’re talking about the little moments that end up meaning the most. We kick things off previewing our upcoming conversation with longtime friend Derryl Yeager from Odyssey Dance Theatre, whose story is all about creating your own opportunities and carving your own path. Then we get into life lately. Family brunches, birthday surprises, Axel’s hockey season wrapping up, and the everyday moments that feel more meaningful the older we get. We also talk about something we’ve been thinking about a lot since leaving radio a few years ago. Life looks very different now, and it’s allowed us to appreciate the small things we used to rush past. Walking your kid to school. A spontaneous family drive. A hike on a sunny day. Dinner with the people you love. Life is still stressful sometimes, but when you slow down enough to notice it, the little moments are where the good stuff lives. @listentofrankieandjess on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/listentofrankieandjess?igsh=MXhmam9maWJ5emczdA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr @listentofrankieandjess on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@listentofrankieandjess?_t=ZT-8xrjEduwb6r&_r=1 @Frankieslc on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frankieslc?igsh=MWl4NjVubHZ0MTN2Zw== @jessfergie14 on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jessfergie14?igsh=dWhnMzBkdWludGVl @frankieslc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frankieslc?_t=ZT-8xrjZu12GVB&_r=1 @jessfergie14 on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jessfergie14?_t=ZT-8xrjeo4YzAz&_r=1 Thanks to Salt Lake's own Super Bubble for the music on The Frankie and Jess Podcast!

    Belly Buttons, Bidets, and Killing Someone’s Mom (By Accident)

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) This episode goes everywhere in the best possible way. We debate belly button hygiene, bidets, and how long is too long to go without a shower. We swap stories about weird habits, airport bathroom horrors, caffeine withdrawal migraines, and the strange things we avoid trying for years. Jess shares the moment she accidentally thought a listener’s mom had passed away in a social media comment, and Frankie remembers doing the same thing during an interview with Andre Agassi. The conversation also takes a heartfelt turn with a reflection on becoming the kind of parent you wish you had growing up. @listentofrankieandjess on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/listentofrankieandjess?igsh=MXhmam9maWJ5emczdA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr @listentofrankieandjess on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@listentofrankieandjess?_t=ZT-8xrjEduwb6r&_r=1 @Frankieslc on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frankieslc?igsh=MWl4NjVubHZ0MTN2Zw== @jessfergie14 on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jessfergie14?igsh=dWhnMzBkdWludGVl @frankieslc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frankieslc?_t=ZT-8xrjZu12GVB&_r=1 @jessfergie14 on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jessfergie14?_t=ZT-8xrjeo4YzAz&_r=1 Thanks to Salt Lake's own Super Bubble for the music on The Frankie and Jess Podcast!

    Excommunicated. Disowned. Free.

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) We had Lyn Christian back on the podcast for the first time since our final days in radio — and this conversation went deep. Lyn, founder of SoulSalt Inc, grew up in Heber City, Utah, riding horses along the railroad tracks and learning early on to trust a quiet inner voice that would guide them through some of the hardest decisions of their life. In this episode, they share about divorce, raising three children, leaving environments that were no longer healthy, being excommunicated after coming out, family rejection, and what it means to build a chosen family when the original one falls away. We also talk about the broader cultural conversations happening right now — faith, power structures, public allegations, and how to stay aware without being consumed by it. Lyn is the author of Soul Salt: Your Personal Field Guide to Confidence, Purpose, and Fulfillment, and their work centers on helping people enliven and enlarge their vision of who they are and what they’re capable of. Learn more about Lyn and their work at: https://soulsalt.com/lyn-christian/ Grab their book here: https://a.co/d/0f4tZsSX Follow them on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulsaltinc This episode isn’t about attacking belief systems.

    Growing Pains, College Tours & Turning 55

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) This week’s catch-up hits everything. We talk about Jess’s dad turning 71 after a year of health battles and how much it means just to see her parents out to dinner again. We open up about waking up to Axel crying with growing pains and the quiet panic every parent feels in the middle of the night. We share how community has been showing up in powerful ways — from college tours at the University of Utah to new Parkinson’s advocacy connections. There’s Mammoth hockey, mindset lessons about not getting cocky when you’re up 2-0, and Frankie officially entering the 55 club… whether he uses the discount or not. This one feels like pruning season. Letting go. Standing tall. Waiting for better days. @listentofrankieandjess on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/listentofrankieandjess?igsh=MXhmam9maWJ5emczdA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr @listentofrankieandjess on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@listentofrankieandjess?_t=ZT-8xrjEduwb6r&_r=1 @Frankieslc on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frankieslc?igsh=MWl4NjVubHZ0MTN2Zw== @jessfergie14 on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jessfergie14?igsh=dWhnMzBkdWludGVl @frankieslc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frankieslc?_t=ZT-8xrjZu12GVB&_r=1 @jessfergie14 on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jessfergie14?_t=ZT-8xrjeo4YzAz&_r=1 Thanks to Salt Lake's own Super Bubble for the music on The Frankie and Jess Podcast!

    Interrupting the Interrupting

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) On this episode of the Frankie & Jess Podcast, we talk about something most of us do… but rarely notice. Interrupting. Talking over. Talking at instead of talking with. A simple moment in the car — Tammy calling, ma talking at the same time — sparked a deeper conversation about family communication patterns, what we grow up with, and what we unknowingly pass down. We unpack: • How not feeling heard shapes adulthood • Why interrupting is more common than we admit • Teaching Axel how to wait his turn in conversation • Breaking generational habits before they grow • Why communication matters more than we realize Then the episode shifts into: • 30-year high school reunion nerves • Insecurity and comparison • Missing the desert but loving the mountains • And a powerful story about grief, resilience, and honoring mental health Plus — we ask for your wisdom: What advice do you have for grandparents who don’t live near their grandkids? 🎧 Listen now. @listentofrankieandjess on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/listentofrankieandjess?igsh=MXhmam9maWJ5emczdA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr @listentofrankieandjess on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@listentofrankieandjess?_t=ZT-8xrjEduwb6r&_r=1 @Frankieslc on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frankieslc?igsh=MWl4NjVubHZ0MTN2Zw== @jessfergie14 on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jessfergie14?igsh=dWhnMzBkdWludGVl @frankieslc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frankieslc?_t=ZT-8xrjZu12GVB&_r=1 @jessfergie14 on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jessfergie14?_t=ZT-8xrjeo4YzAz&_r=1 Thanks to Salt Lake's own Super Bubble for the music on The Frankie and Jess Podcast!

    Is Color Medicine? | The Science of Color with Laurie Hartley-Moore

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) This week on the Frankie & Jess Podcast, we sit down with Utah native, holistic health practitioner, and Color Clinician Laurie Hartley-Moore (@mindbodymedicinewoman), author of The Color Constitution. And this conversation went deeper than we expected. When Laurie’s mother was dying at just 44 years old, she described seeing “a white horse… but more colors than this world has ever seen.” That moment became Laurie’s bridge between this world and something bigger — and ultimately sparked her lifelong study of color. But this isn’t just symbolic color psychology. We dive into: • The science of light frequencies and how we actually see color • Why black absorbs and white reflects • How some people wear black to hide • Why orange and yellow naturally lift social spaces • The balanced and imbalanced side of every color • How tint, tone, and shade matter more than just the hue • How color can become your secret superpower Laurie blends holistic health, science, personality blueprints, and decades of study into a framework that helps people create more harmony in their homes, relationships, health, and emotional lives. Color isn’t just decoration. It’s frequency. It’s psychology. It’s energy. Follow Laurie: @mindbodymedicinewoman Book: The Color Constitution 🎧 Listen now. @listentofrankieandjess on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/listentofrankieandjess?igsh=MXhmam9maWJ5emczdA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr @listentofrankieandjess on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@listentofrankieandjess?_t=ZT-8xrjEduwb6r&_r=1 @Frankieslc on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frankieslc?igsh=MWl4NjVubHZ0MTN2Zw== @jessfergie14 on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jessfergie14?igsh=dWhnMzBkdWludGVl @frankieslc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frankieslc?_t=ZT-8xrjZu12GVB&_r=1 @jessfergie14 on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jessfergie14?_t=ZT-8xrjeo4YzAz&_r=1 Thanks to Salt Lake's own Super Bubble for the music on The Frankie and Jess Podcast!

    Don’t Spoil the Game

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) It’s the catch-up episode and we cover… everything. A 50th birthday celebration turns into a full-blown debate about nicknames (when is it time to “just call her Erin”?). We talk big party gratuity etiquette, and debate whether restaurants should clearly say when tip is already included. We break down USA men’s hockey winning gold in overtime — 46 years after 1980 — and the heartbreak of getting the game spoiled by a text before watching it. Plus, the dream prediction that actually came true. We talk parenting in the digital age — device boundaries, sleepovers, and standing firm when phones try to sneak back in. Frankie shares about recent migraines and caffeine triggers, chaperoning Axel’s field trip to the Natural History Museum, and the gratitude of building a life with a normal circadian rhythm after decades of chaos. Jess shares about hockey mornings at 6 a.m., senior nights at the Mammoth facility, and yes… HomeGoods rankings across the valley. And we update the effort to gather information for a potential Parkinson’s environmental cluster investigation in Tammy’s old neighborhood — because some things are bigger than us. It’s funny, reflective, slightly ranty, and very much a “this is our life right now” kind of episode.

    Addiction, Drama & the Desire for Connection

    (Disclaimer: Adult language and content.) Episode 3 this week — and this one goes deep. We start with a powerful reframe: Addiction isn’t weakness. It’s an attempt to self-regulate. Neurobiology shows addiction mimics emotional connection, romantic love, and bonding. So, what if addiction is really the desire for connection? We talk openly about: Sugar addiction Sleeping pills and dependency Shopping, food, alcohol EMDR and root work Grief and catching yourself mid–Ben & Jerry’s The “soul hole” we try to fill Then we shift into something just as powerful: Love. Not the roller coaster. Not chaos disguised as passion. Not silence that means “brace for impact.” But nervous-system safe love. The kind where silence in the car feels peaceful. The kind where someone stays. The kind where repair happens. We also talk about: Becoming our parents (lights, lilies, electricity bills 😅) Breaking cycles Drama addiction Walking out vs communicating What safety actually feels like 🎧 The Frankie & Jess Podcast. @listentofrankieandjess on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/listentofrankieandjess?igsh=MXhmam9maWJ5emczdA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr @listentofrankieandjess on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@listentofrankieandjess?_t=ZT-8xrjEduwb6r&_r=1 @Frankieslc on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/frankieslc?igsh=MWl4NjVubHZ0MTN2Zw== @jessfergie14 on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jessfergie14?igsh=dWhnMzBkdWludGVl @frankieslc on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@frankieslc?_t=ZT-8xrjZu12GVB&_r=1 @jessfergie14 on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@jessfergie14?_t=ZT-8xrjeo4YzAz&_r=1 Thanks to Salt Lake's own Super Bubble for the music on The Frankie and Jess Podcast!
