  • Dear White People (From: Another White Person)
    EPISODE 2! In this episode, we discuss race - specifically what it means to be a white person today. As a white woman in today's society, I hold immense privilege solely because of my race. This is my small attempt to use that privilege to be heard by other white people who may or may not be thinking about race critically on a day to day basis. We begin with another, more formal, introduction to the podcast and dive right in to the subject. White privilege, performative activism, and institutional racism are all terms that a white person should be familiar with. If you're not, join the discussion. If you are, listen anyway and maybe you'll expand your understanding or confirm your own definitions. Thank you for listening.

  • Introduction to Soulshine & Forgiveness

    EPISODE 1! It's been a long time coming but I am finally here. As you will hear in the episode, this was recorded prior to me figuring out any of the details about what the podcast would be called, what my cover art would be, and so on. Instead, I decided to have an open and honest discussion about forgiveness. Both forgiving yourself and others, as well as figuring out what forgiveness means to you, are all important steps to take along your journey through life. It's not easy by any means, but it's worth it. Stay tuned for longer episodes, more content, and of course more details about what this podcast is all about. Thank you for listening!
