Laura Holman
When we're 18, we are allowed to vote. When we're 21, we are allowed to drink. But what are we allowed to do when we're 30? What are we supposed to do? What expectations does the outside world impose, and what expectations do we put on ourselves?
Iman Hariri-Kia joins me to talk about the accessibility and community offered by online platforms, the sex education crisis in the US, and the power of vulnerable storytelling.

This week, I'm exploring times in my life when I've felt lazy and when I've felt lonely, and how those are related to each other. I discuss navigating the difference between laziness and depression, how pandemic living affected the independent part of myself, and the different ways I tend to unintentionally mind numb.

This week I will be talking about how training for my first marathon helped me heal from an assault.
(TW: I will be referencing sexual assault in this episode but I will not go into any detail of the event itself.)
I will describe some of the long term, everyday effects one single trauma can have. I will share how (barring any medical restrictions) running a marathon is achievable even - or especially - for the imperfect among us.
