A Millennial's Guide to Saving the World

Decided to release a solo episode this week to discuss some topics I've been thinking about. I talk about Mother's Day and it's implications, Jealousy & where it comes from, Cultural Appropriation & whether or not it's worth focusing on as it relates to fighting systemic inequality + Abortion and why I think the anti-abortion movement is rooted in preventing women's sexuality.

You asked and I delivered. This week's episode features a conversation between me and my Dad. We talk about the importance of embracing nuance in all aspects of life, what it was like for my Dad to grapple with the intersections of homosexuality, marriage and fatherhood plus the never-ending process of coming to terms with our authentic selves by rejecting the structures, boxes and labels dictated to by our society and culture.
