Following our discussions earlier in the season on having children and the framing of sex from the perspective of the church and culture, we invited a special guest, Mellap Murila, to share her journey of having a child while in college.

We talk about the lessons her experience taught her, how she’s navigating parenthood and her babies also make a brief debut - never play with Bluey! We are grateful for her vulnerability and openness. Please share your takeaways from the episode with us on social media.

Is fear hardwired or learned? In this episode, we dive into our fears, exploring whether they're inborn or learned based on an article on the evolutionary purpose of fear. We chat about where we picked up some fears plus share tips from the book "You Are a Badass" by Jen Sincero on how to conquer fear. Also, here's an interesting article on why we fear the dark: https://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-the-evolutionary-reason-why-we-re-afraid-of-the-dark Let us know how you face your fears!

Does the title say sex? Yes it does! We are going into the conversation about our perspectives on sex, where we first heard about it and how our experiences have formed our relationship with it. Of course, it would not be complete without a bit of a science lesson! Get your headphones on if you don't want your mother asking you questions.
