Can telling vulnerable life stories help create a shame-free world? While unabashedly sporting rose-colored glasses, we say, “Yes!” In this first episode, hosts Kate Loree and Sunny Megatron reveal their intention and method behind Open Deeply Podcast. You’ll also learn about organizations that have a counter agenda in mind and what you can do to help take truth off the extinction list. This episode serves as a primer for what’s to come: personal stories exploring emotional vulnerability, pattern breaking, and triumph. Before bringing on guests, we feel it’s only fair that we reveal our underbellies first--which leads us to the next two episodes.
