Tell Us How You Really Feel

Spoiler Alert: ABORTION TALK and TEARS!Why a break is necessary sometimes. And why we’ve been waiting ’til now to record an episode. Vicki is in Ohio and Michelle takes a moment to interview her about full-time travel. Will this trip ever end?? Is homeschool good? Bad? Abortion - still TOTALLY LEGAL and ALLOWED! Back off, anti-choicers. Is it sharing more personal stories that will change minds? We say “WHAT?” a whole lot. Michelle is a VIP, we know this. But now her community knows because she’s about to be the PRESIDENT of her HOA. She tells us how it all happened! Oh, and then White Privilege came up. Because, ya know, it’s everywhere. And how we identify on the race train.****Connect with us on Instagram & Twitter: @theumcastVia the web: www.theumcast.comVia email: [email protected] Us a Voicemail, Yay!: 442-273-0026Don't forget to subscribe to us on iTunes, rate and review.

Tell Us How You Really Feel

When life goes on, because it does. “It is shitty and it is also just something you have to do on a Monday, at 1pm. There’s my normal life and then this is also there. And to just block those experiences to spare people from being uncomfortable or spare my own feelings of being vulnerable, get over it. It’s therapeutic to share. Just post it.”TWL: Eyelashes and reliable internet access****Connect with us on Instagram & Twitter: @theumcastVia the web: www.theumcast.comVia email: [email protected] Us a Voicemail, Yay!: 442-273-0026Don't forget to subscribe to us on iTunes, rate and review.

Tell Us How You Really Feel

We recorded this yesterday, late in the evening. We talked and talked and talked. We cried and laughed and sat in silence together. This is the pre-story. The pre-processing explanation. This is all we could put out comfortably. There is another hour waiting to be let free. For that reason, it may feel a bit choppy and disjointed but it's as uncensored as we could be. There are moments when it felt like any other podcast episode and others when the deep hurt that Michelle is going through was heavy in the air. There will be more to share when the time is right. For now, we hope you feel like you're along for the journey, because you are; you have been and you will be. TWL: Not smelling bad and love that's true.****Connect with us on Instagram & Twitter: @theumcastVia the web: www.theumcast.comVia email: [email protected] Us a Voicemail, Yay!: 442-273-0026Don't forget to subscribe to us on iTunes, rate and review.
