Please Don't Kick Me Out

This week's episode features Po Lang, a registered nurse, and founder of Olive Wellness, a virtual holistic clinic you can access anywhere. We discuss eastern versus western medicine, health scares that led her onto a wellness journey, and the tough and rewarding decision to become a business owner. Po is so intuitive and understanding about health and nutrition, and an overall joy to have on the podcast. When she isn't saving the world, one leaky gut a time, you can find her adventuring with her husband and their Italian Greyhound, Max. Imposter syndrome impacts everyone in a different way, and I love to tell my guest's stories. I am so thankful that I am in a position to share these beautiful stories with my listeners. 

A reminder: If this podcast helps one person, then we have done our job!

For this episode, I interviewed Sloane Wormser, a rad hairstylist based out of San Diego, California. Sloane of course happens to be my hairstylist, but also a really spiritually sound and grounded person. We discuss all sorts of stuff, from bullies growing up, to past trauma that shaped who we are as women. It was an absolute delight to have a candid conversation about all things life, without the salon chair. I really enjoyed learning more about Sloane, and I am proud to call her a friend of mine!

Welcome to a very special episode of Please Don't Kick Me Out. For this episode, I interviewed Brandon & Mikayla, a young married couple that was featured on episode 2 of HBO's "We're Here", featuring Bob The Drag Queen, Shangela, and Eureka O'Hara. The point of the show is to go to towns with conservative viewpoints and try to open the dialogue about equality. They are from Twin Falls, Idaho. Brandon & Mikayla work tirelessly as activists, allies, and LGBTQIA+ equality seekers in Idaho. From leaving their church upbringings to finding acceptance in gender and sexuality, their story is truly a great kickoff to pride month through my platform. We discuss being on the show, their love story, leaving religion, and more (Zelda!). I really enjoyed learning more about them, and I am proud to call them friends of mine! Love is love, and I am so thankful that I am in a position to share these beautiful stories with my listeners.

Due to the state of America, and the Black Lives Matter Movement, I chose to bring an emergency bonus episode of Please Don't Kick Me Out to your ears. This episode is all about how to help invoke change for equality in America right now. I sit down with my friend Atecia, an activist - I allow her the floor to talk about the ways in which you can help support change. We also discuss being an ally, and how to navigate language and support during this time. I am very passionate about this, so it might come off very differently than you've normally heard me on my podcast. Please reach out to me with any questions you may have! If you are new to becoming an ally, or this movement, I am here for you. Doing the right thing is to speak up.

Welcome to another episode of Please Don't Kick Me Out. For this episode, I interviewed Karoliina Bursain. We discuss exploring your gender identity and understanding how to navigate that decision later in life. It was a very profound conversation! Karoliina chose my podcast as her first place to tell her story, and imposter syndrome felt like the very topic to do so. Imposter syndrome affects us all in a different way, but I really enjoyed learning more about her!
