In math, standard deviation is defined as a measure of the variability of a set of values within a group. It indicates how narrowly or broadly those values stray from the average. Standard deviation measures the departure from an established course, the status quo, accepted standards.

This podcast seeks to cultivate a safe space for those of us who deviate to just...be. This episode launches the podcast, introduces the host, and articulates her "why" via a storytime.
