Some people never have the experience of being in a place where they feel they do not belong. Wil shares his real experiences of when he was not welcome in places and breaks down how we can all participate to make spaces welcoming. Even if you have not had a space where you did not feel like you belonged, it is still a real experience for many based on the color of their skin, religion, body size, sexuality, identity, and countless other factors. Join the conversation on how we can create spaces where we belong.

The Power P's Podcast and host Emily in Everett talk with Samie Blood-Ossowski about family and supporting trans youth. 

We drop in thoughts about election turnout, T-Mobile Park, the implications of the Writer's Strike on labor in general, the fact that we don't have any privacy, and men who don't know we have three holes. Then we dive into Outland, the show everyone who likes romance, sci-fi, historical fiction, or just good fucking television can't wait to have back – in late 2024.

Through a series of unfortunate events, my scheduled episode didn't go as planned.  After 32 episodes I had my first "oh crap" moment.  In the effort of trying to find the silver linings I took some time to reflect on what it means to make mistakes and the lessons we can learn from them.

Other musings as well.

PS - it's episode #34 despite what I recorded!  More fun learning!
