January 29, 2021 POLITICAL CORRECTNESS | Saying the N Word
Today we are joined in The Safe Space by Rucka Rucka Ali, a top charting comedy rapper. We discuss the use of the N word, which we think is important more broadly with respect to how we treat language and concepts.

December 25, 2020 Being Really Loaft
Today I am joined by Brian Anderson, who I met while traveling in Panama. He and I discuss whether or not he is lazy, and what his values are. Is a common association of laziness with stupidity valid, and would people like me benefit from being a bit "more lazy"? We also discuss how he feels about having his intelligence and drive questioned.

Welcome to The Safe Space. Today I am joined by Jennifer Minjarez. She and I work together, and are also friends, which leads there to being two different dynamics to consider.

December 01, 2020 What is Being a New Mother Really Like?
Welcome to The Safe Space.
Today I am joined by my sister Shera Stemer. She and I discuss what it is like being a new mother. She has a 6 month old boy named Max, and we dive into real talk about both the joys and the difficulties of it. What it was like being 9 months pregnant, and what it's like having this little entity that you are now responsible for. We also talk about the difficulties and how many people just try to pretend motherhood is all sunshine and rainbows, and we touch on whether or not her baby is REALLY that cute.

November 27, 2020 How Do You Find Your Values
Today I am joined in The Safe Space by Mike Piaseczny.
He and I have a really honest conversation about values. When I originally asked him what we should talk about based on his values, he wasn't sure so instead we went to the meta-level. We discuss what does it mean to value, why does he have a difficult time thinking about his values. We then also discuss how to integrate your hierarchy of values.
If you want to better understand what values are and how you discover your own, this is a great watch.
