In this episode, I talk with Brambling's Mom, Amber Benoit! This conversation is probably one of the most special conversations I've ever had. In this episode, Amber and I talk about religious diversity, what it means to have faith, how to respect other people's religious beliefs and what to do when things might get heated in a conversation. I hope that you value this conversation as much as I do.

In this episode, I talk with another cousin of mine, Kelsie Grazier! She tells us her story about growing up with hearing loss, to eventually becoming completely deaf. We talk about inclusion and how she tells her story through her art. So honoured to have Kelsie on the podcast. At the end of the podcast, I ask the question, what sounds would you miss the most if you were to suddenly lose your hearing? Please let me know in the comments of the Instagram post to this podcast! I'd love to hear from you!

Part 2 of my conversation with my cousin Sarah Helten! In this part of the conversation we dig into some more brave moments we both had to go through, we talk about grief, sadness, and compassion. If there is any part of the conversation where you feel like you need to pause, no one is blaming or shaming you for listening to yourself. At the end of the conversation, I ask Sarah what's the first thing she does when presented with something that makes her feel scared, and I wanted to also ask you, listener, what you do as well. Go to my Instagram @lucatronasauru_rex and find the post to this podcast, and in the comments let me know what you do! I'd love to hear from you!

After my Grandma passed away in April of 2022, I experienced grief on a whole new level. This poem was inspired and driven my the wise words of my counsellor who told me "to give [my]self permission to surrender" to the grief. There was so much pain that I leaned into, but I'm actually so grateful that I did.

In this episode with Manoji, we dive into how language is one of the most important parts when talking about identity. We talk about how names contribute a large part to who we are, code switching and the importance of properly labeling and naming things. I also reveal a part of my identity that I haven't officially revealed yet. It was a real pleasure having Manoji on the show, and I hope to have her back soon!
