Jessica Marshall first stepped into the public eye in the 1990s on The Phil Donahue Show, becoming one of the first trans women to openly share her story on national television. Decades later, she sits down with Kindness Calloway on Loving Kindness Everyday to reflect on that groundbreaking moment and everything that's come since.

In this conversation, Jessica opens up about her personal journey with estrogen, what it feels like to live in her body, and how hormone therapy has shaped her experience of womanhood. We also dive into one of today's most debated topics —> trans athletes in sports. Should there be a third category where trans and nonbinary people can compete? Jessica shares her unfiltered take, bringing honesty, passion, and lived wisdom to the conversation.

This episode isn't just about gender or sports it's about identity, truth, and the freedom to live beyond Every box society tries to put us in.

This episode goes deep into gender identity, ethical non-monogamy (ENM), BDSM, and sexual taboos and truths that rarely get this kind of open, real conversation.

One night at the skating rink, Kindness Calloway comes across a scene that makes them stop and ask: "Wait—what are you doing?" That's how this unexpected conversation with Ria (@riabarkr) began.

What follows is a raw and inspiring exchange about more than just music. Ria shares how her mom trained her not only in voice but also in spiritual awareness, teaching her to use the reticular activating system (RAS) to focus her thoughts and create the life she wants. We talk about why training your mind is just as important as training your craft.

We're also joined by Tyyla (@tyylamusic), who was there the night Kindness and Ria first met, and we give a big shoutout to Ria's UK producer Jared (@jxred.wav) for his work on Bliss.

The episode closes with an invitation: take about four minutes to channel Bliss while listening to Ria's song by the name. Let yourself enjoy a moment of calm, clarity, and joy.

In our time together, Lillian shares in her own words how her process unfolds—weaving both found and constructed materials into luminous veils of art that evoke Memory, Spirituality, and Connection. Lillian reflects on the influences of her childhood home, her cultural identity, and the path that led to her solo museum exhibition Through the Veil (Sarasota Art Museum, 2025).

This conversation is not just about art—it is about heritage, artistry, and the power of creation. Sit with us as Lillian Blades talks us through her world of creation her process and the opens up about the journey behind her work and the spirit that continues to guide it.

🎯 Don't Miss This Game-Changing Episode

Connor Lamb's story is already sparking important conversations about faith, authenticity, and courage in Christian communities nationwide. His honest account of life at UGA, his role in Athens Church, and the moment he chose truth over comfort is exactly the kind of raw, real conversation our world needs right now.

Meet Connor Lamb

Connor Lamb lived what many would consider an exemplary college life at the University of Georgia. As a member of the 2022 UGA Homecoming Court, College Outreach Director at Athens Church, Christian fraternity leader, and University Judiciary Justice, Connor was known as "Mr. Christian" on campus. But behind this impressive resume was a young man wrestling with a truth he'd carried since childhood.

About Connor's Journey

Connor's story is one of remarkable achievement alongside a deep personal and spiritual struggle. After graduating from Johnson Ferry Christian Academy, he built an impressive career foundation as Director of Training and Manager at Chick-fil-A Roswell Corners before pursuing his Bachelor of Business Administration in Economics and Risk Management at UGA's Terry College of Business.

Throughout college, Connor served in multiple leadership roles - from his position as a University of Georgia Judiciary Justice for over three years to his impactful work as both College Outreach Director and Family Experience Director at Athens Church. His dedication to God, his community, his frat brothers and university was evident in everything he did.... but something changed.

The Conversation You Need to Hear

In this deeply personal episode of Loving Kindness Everyday, Connor sits down with Kindness Calloway in an intimate living room setting to share his authentic story. This isn't about scandal or controversy - it's about a young man's courage to live truthfully despite the potential cost - lossing everything. Even his home.

Connor opens up about navigating same-sex attraction since a young age while simultaneously becoming one of UGA's most visible Christian leaders. He shares the real impact of choosing authenticity over expectation, and how his decision affected his relationships, his community, and his sense of self.

Why This Story Matters

Connor's experience speaks to anyone who's ever felt caught between who they are and who others expect them to be, especially in the church. His story offers insight into:

• The complexity of faith and identity
• Gay Conversion Therapy
• Leadership under theological struggle
• The cost and courage of living authentically
• How communities respond to unexpected truths
• Finding your path when it doesn't match the plan

This conversation showcases Connor not as a headline, but as a thoughtful, accomplished young man whose honesty has been helping others navigate their own difficult journeys.

Recorded early in the summer of 2025, this episode captures a poolside conversation between Rob Thompson (@simpleempire787, IG) and Kindness Calloway. Rob shares the journey that's taken him from being a professional skater to working in finance, and ultimately choosing a new life path that reflects who he truly is.

Together, Rob and Kindness reflect on the shaping forces of his story—movement, discipline, reflection, and resilience—while exploring what it means to keep rolling forward through life's unexpected turns.

Today's episode of Loving Kindness Everyday was recorded at Rachell Tires & Wheels, right on the corner of Memorial and Boulevard in southeast Atlanta, Georgia.

While I was there, I met Alan D. Jenkins, and we ended up talking about Rivian, water, and responsibility. I'm excited to share that conversation with you, and I believe you'll find it just as thought-provoking as I did.

If you missed yesterday's episode, be sure to go back and listen. It was an exercise in Constructive Thought Redirection, blending music with uplifting audio in both English and Spanish. It's designed to help us shift our mindsets and choose better thoughts—something I think you'll really enjoy.

Beyond our discussion on electric vehicles, Alan also shared with me personally a bit of information about his work at Academy Mill Farm, a family-owned and operated farm providing grassfed meat from animals regenerating the soil. With deep roots in the land, Alan and farm are committed to protecting pastures, forests, streams, and the wildlife they share this home with. You can learn more by visiting Academy Mill Farm and No2Rivian.org to connect with Alan D. Jenkins and follow the ongoing Rivian battle here in Georgia.

Constructive Thought Direction Tool How to Use This Tool: When your mind is racing, when circumstances feel overwhelming, when you need to stop the mental chatter - press play. Let these declarations wash over you. Don't try to think or analyze, just listen, dance around, speak the words and absorb. Let the repetition do the work of rewiring your thoughts toward what you want to experience.

You Must Stop Thinking and Start Declaring

It's important not to let situations and circumstances dictate your thoughts and feelings. In order to maintain right thinking and keep your mind fixed on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely - things that are worthy of smiling about in life - these are the thoughts we should meditate on and hold onto.

But sometimes it's tough, right? That's why I use a method I call Constructive Thought Direction - where I choose a thought that feels good and think it over and over, actively not allowing my brain to go on "autopilot" or "rest," so I can focus on thoughts that are good even in situations that FEEL less than good.

This episode IS that tool.

This week on Loving Kindness Everyday, Kindness Calloway is back with a preseason short—a little drop of wisdom before we kick things back into full swing in September.

What happens when you set everything up for your "summer of success"… only to see it taken away overnight? In this shorter, street-side chat with Ken from Alpharetta, a conversation about shipping costs, packaging, and the wastefulness of consumer culture opened up into something deeper: What is the true weight of our choices, and how do they shape the future for all of us?

From there, we reflect on another kind of "wait"—that space of faith and patience when you believe things will work out but haven't seen it yet. This episode is about weight, wait, and waste—but also about how nothing is ever truly wasted when we allow the promise of a hopeful future (Jeremiah 29:11) to carry us forward.

💛 If you've ever worked hard only to have your plans interrupted, this one's for you. Remember: the waiting isn't wasted—it's part of the journey.

✨ Don't forget to follow the podcast for weekly reflections, follow Kindness on IG: @KindnesstheKid for daily updates and behind the scenes peeks, share this mini episode with a friend, and get ready for our full September return. Until then, enjoy this quirky mix of affirmations, encouragement, and…
