Hello Humans, I am excited for today's episode on bodily autonomy. My dear friend, Shana and I, discuss where we were when Roe was overturned, how we are processing our new reality and what our own personal experiences with abortion and bodily autonomy have been like in our own lives. It was cathartic, it was healing and it was motivating. We also did it in under an hour! Enjoy!

Hey Humans! This week on the pod we are in conversation with one of my dearest and oldest friends Shawnsey. The theme for today's episode is Being Storytellers. As a therapist I work with other humans to process through the story of their life in order to grow, heal and change. Shawnsey is a writer who creates stories and has taught others how to write them. Our shared history began way back in the day when we attended the same Catholic high school. We discuss how Religion as storytelling shaped our experiences then and how our understanding of those experiences has changed over time. We discuss the innate human trait to use storytelling as a means of evolving and contemplate how and why it shifted to be a means of asserting power and control over others. We get deep, we get silly, I am LOUD and talk fast, but hopefully it will be as good of a listen for you as it was for us chatting. 

Hey Humans! Welcome to the premier episode of the Being Human podcast. Today we are talking to two of my favorite humans who I seek out when I need to be seen; my best friend Dara and my therapist Meghan. We talk about the very human need to be connected to other humans. We answer a listener question about what to do when we feel that connection isn't as strong as we want it to be. Hope you enjoy and find something relatable.
