Welcome to the Uncommon Conversations podcast, where we create comfort out of discomfort. This podcast is created to foster a safe space for people to come together and talk about topics that are typically avoided or absent from our every day lives. Some topics that will be covered are: relationships, opportunities, careers, the ideology of expectations, and more. Each topic will be laid out in a series where we will unpack each theme deeper and deeper every week for the duration of the series. Join us to begin the investment of building comfort out of our own discomfort.
Just coming on here to share some new things that have been happening in my life and hoping to inspire you if you are feeling or going through something similar.

With recent events happening in our country, I thought it would be relevant to talk about abortions and the affect of the overturn of Rue v. Wade that happened on 6/24/22. I want to speak honestly and share my concern about the issue and hope to spark some conversations amongst your people groups.

Join me and one of my good friends in a conversation about sexuality and what it means to identify within the LGBTQIA+ community. We often don't share the challenges or nuances that exist with identifying anything other than heterosexual. I'm excited about this raw conversation because it allows others who may not be educated in this field or are a bit uncomfortable in asking questions, get some exposure about identifying a different type of way.

Do you feel stress and pressure everyday? I for sure do. It's normal. Pressures that are present in our life cause a certain amount of stress so that we can be focused and attentive. Its a way we defend ourselves from various situations. Its important to remember not to eliminate these feelings, but know how to reduce them in a healthy way.
