Welcome to our inaugural episode. We're so glad to have you with us. With this podcast, we hope to share some of our stories with you, and give others a platform to share their own experiences. Along the way, often we find that paradise isn't a location, but sometimes just a state of being. In our first episode, we introduce ourselves a bit, as we …

So I'm especially grateful to her for taking the time to sit down and talk with us. We hear her experience with leaving an ex still in the religion, and the impact it has had on the lives of…

So about a year ago, we did a thing. Ethan and I (Tyler) shared our stories of leaving the Jehovah’s Witness religion with the world. We talked about all the good, bad and ugly that comes with that choice. Some people have listened to it, and some have been brave enough to share their stories as well. Over the past 375 days, we’ve laughed, cried, d…

We try "Deep Space Brine" and "Nut Goodie Porter" from Tin Whiskers Brewing, "Mangoschino" from Modist Brewing, and "Pumpkinhead" from Shipyard Brewing.

This episode we're doing something a little different. We've pretty much just told stories on Finding Paradise, and that's something that we love to do... and will definitely be doing more of soon. But... every once in a while, you gotta take a minute to sit down with your buddy and do a little catsup. So we plan on keeping a somewhat separate feed…

Welcome to Episode 004, an episode 20+ years in the making. I reconnected with an old friend, and we got to talk with him on the show. His story is tough to hear, so fair warning, this one gets a little dark in places. Somehow we managed to keep it relatively lighthearted, and we can't thank Nick enough for coming on and telling his story. And THAN…
