Welcome to the updated format of The Nuanced Life! In 2020, we'll be breaking the show into three segments: a cultural conversation, an advice segment, and, of course, a commemoration from a listener. 

On today's show, Sarah shares how the women in her life were having concerning conversations about sex over the holidays. Then, we share a follow-up commemoration from Bethany about her trip to the Evolving Faith conference.

We talked with Diana on Pantsuit Politics about civic gratitude and then continued the conversation here, on the The Nuanced Life. We discussed more personal understanding of what it means to deeply experience true gratitude.
