You’ve heard Léocadia constantly talk about him and now you all get to meet him! Today’s guest on our episode is the one and only Darren Beckham. Marielena and Darren sit down to talk about his relationship with Léocadia, his time in the seminary and how he feels he is called to love (as well as a few inside jokes between him and Marielena!).

We are back and finally live after a few weeks of pre recorded episodes! Join us as we introduce season 3 with doozy: Heartbreak! We are diving into what heartbreak means, different types of heartbreak and how we navigate and heal from them.

Last episode of this season and Leocadia is here to close us out! To end on a positive note, I want us to give a toast to being different, finding the values in them and the contribution we bring to the world. You matter and you are important.

College is not for everyone.

Leocadia explores living the American dream while at college. She dissects what it means when you're a student from a low-income family living in one of the most expensive cities in the United States. She is joined by her long-time friend, Julianna.

Feeling part of the church and the baggage that comes with it is tale as old as time. In today's episode we talk about our experience with feeling excluded in various moments with the Catholic Church and the lack of representation we have seen with it. Its not an easy conversation that we are going to have but its one that needs to be done.
