What is the meaning of life? Perhaps we should be asking, how do we make meaning of life?

In this episode, Faith and I continue discussing our July book club pick. We chat about the author’s take on socialism, slavery, racism, the media, and police brutality. I hope you enter this episode with an open and critical mind. Again, this is going to be the last episode for a while. Take care of yourselves, dear listeners.

How do we disagree with people? My instinct is to be defensive and to convince the other person why they should see things my way. But what if I entered arguments/disagreements with empathy, especially when it comes to socio-cultural and political topics? People are people before they’re our “enemies.”

Today’s episode is the first part of our July book club discussion. My guest and friend, Faith, and I breakdown Blackout by Candace Owens. As a note, we kinda approached this discussion as we would an academic text. We examined both the information that the author provided and the way she provided it, which made for a different but insightful discussion. Tune in next week for part two!

Have you ever felt guilty for no longer liking what you liked before? Or perhaps ending a friendship? I know that feeling all too well. Today’s summer reflection is about saying a very kind goodbye to the things and people that don’t contribute to my life anymore and being okay with that.

**CW: disordered eating** Most of us have met someone who lives with chronic illness, whether we knew it or not. Chelsea is one of those people. In this episode, she shares her journey of being diagnosed with several illnesses in her childhood years, being failed by the healthcare system at times, facing discrimination at school and work, and ultimately advocating for and healing herself. It’s a true redemption story.
