You Wouldn't Believe Me if I Told You Podcast artwork

On You Wouldn't Believe Me if I Told You, I share a variety of my personal experiences, beliefs and general perspectives one piece of the iceberg at a time. We all have a story, and some of us have many to tell. This series is a lot more of an audio diary than it is anything else. God's hand is and has always been very prevalent in my life, and it's high time I start telling people the many tales of how. If you don't follow the same kind of religion I do: YOU'RE STILL WELCOME HERE. If you don't believe in religion at all: YOU'RE STILL WELCOME HERE. If you're not even spiritual: YOU'RE STILL WELCOME HERE. So welcome! I have a variety of interests, so a subsequently wider variety of random information you may hear me share from time to time. Some of it may come from a psychological or educational standpoint, but none of it is to be confused for formal instruction. None of it will even be formally cited or fact checked, because this particular podcast was designed to be me, just being me, telling you about me. No second takes, no editing. No fluff, no sparkles. It is entirely possible from time to time I might even publicly address some of the questions I'm asked both in person and on social media, so feel free to reach out however you're comfortable to! (You can Google me. RMLdR: Riid Lalime dit Ravenelle.) Thanks for listening!

The Holy Apostleship

This one also had a weird flow to it. Think of what it might feel like to meet someone you really look up to. I've never been big on feeling like I had any particular 'heroes' or 'idols', but I do admire and acknowledge the work that the General Authorities of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do. I know we're overdue for a recovery and psychology episode, and it's co

Impressions

Mar 10 2023 26 mins

This one was such a mess in my eyes I felt tempted to boot it to the bonus section. I also felt tempted to just stop recording and give it a different go another time. But I promised you all uncut, unedited, unscripted, genuine content... and for better or for worse, that's what this one became. I started this podcast so I could try to help inspire others, but the full circle in th

Paperclips

Hey guys, welcome to Season 2! I really did. manage to stick to shorter and sweeter, but I definitely did end up on quite a tangent. I really hope you guys agree with me that it seemed to be a pretty necessary and honest one. Give this a listen, don't forget to reach out to me with comments and feedback, and ask yourself if you believe me when it comes to me and paperclips. (; Tend

Stake Conference Talk

Mar 04 2023 11 mins

For those of you who didn't hear the draft one practice session, I'm guessing quite a bit changed between the two. I'll have to give that previous 'Talk Prep' bonus episode a listen. Here's the version that I ended up sharing at my stake conference! It's me doing my best to do some justice for some of my crazy temple stories. I have many and perhaps you'll hear some more of them in

Shorter and Sweeter

We're back and better than ever. Thank you for all the support along the way! I hope as I spin us in a new direction you guys like the new vibe even more. I christened us with a new theme song because we're turning a whole new leaf.I want to hyperfocus us on a specific story or set of stories with every episode, telling them within a span of 10 or 20 minutes depending on how many p

Session Seven: Would You Believe Me if I Told You About the Darkest Hours of My Childhood?

Jan 11 2023 47 mins

So this one is a little dark, pretty heavy, and at times flat out triggering to some I'm sure. I -DID NOT- include any explicit details of ANY of the abuse/neglect I endured various places. This gave you a basic overview of my life from age -1/0 to age 8. These are your formative years, crucial to many patterns that will playout through your adolescence, into adulthood and perhaps

Session Six: Would You Believe Me if I Told You I'm Still Sober?

Jan 11 2023 47 mins

Per usual, this went some places- but would you expect anything less of me? 613 days sober is a pretty good start, but I'm hoping this is still just the warm up stretch. I basically found my sobering up by almost by accident nearing two years ago. I had already been off of other substances for a few years, but we'l save the details of that for another time. When I moved out to Utah

Session Five: Would You Believe Me if I Told You This One Was Short Too?

Jan 01 2023 20 mins

This is another round where I decided to keep it short, I eluded to the last bit of your missing timeline from the early episodes, and I threw a bunch of random other stuff at you per usual. I've had an interesting kickoff for 2023, but I'm still chalked full of an oddly faithful diligence. I call it odd, because my faith definitely shook in recent days. I still have plenty of hope

Session Four: Would You Believe Me if I Told You That This One Was Shorter?

Dec 20 2022 23 mins

This probably not so pretty little number is a sleepy Riid ramble, which are always their own special deal. I can't thank the people who've been listening to all my nonsense enough. I hope that you take the time to do even one kind thing for yourself today. I also hope you start challenging others to do the same. I'm the brazen type, I'll say it point blank... But I don't expect us

Session Three: Would You Believe Me if I Told You About the General Authorities?

Dec 09 2022 44 mins

In the second session of You Wouldn't Believe Me if I Told You, we backed off of explaining things about 'The Church' in general, and zeroed in on some specifics of my attempts to adjust to becoming and being a member. Towards the end I pointed out that we could back track God's hand in my life back further and further if we wanted to. Today, I'm only going to give you two sprinkle
