Hi DeathSteppers!!
Welcome to Season 2!!
This is the episode that Oprah that does NOT want you to hear!!
At the sheer mention of her name the podcast audio IMMEDIATELY corrupted and I was forced to go to the Apple Store and buy a brand new computer so I can continue being a COG IN THE WHEEL OF HUMANITY!!!!!!!!!
Anyways. This is a pretty cool episode about one of my favorite topics (see episode title).
CONTENT WARNING: Your sick and twisted host asks the listener to let "something leak inside of them" which is gross and rude and she will be issuing a public apology as soon as she is done carving an effigy to her self respect into her abdomen with a shard of glass.
Also BONUS PODCAST MANIFESTO!!!!!!!!
HAPPY TO BE HERE! THANKS FOR LISTENING!!!

Angie Sue has a story to tell! From finding community at a young age in the Southern Baptist Church world to experiencing the loss of many loved ones at a young age to going thru a divorce to finding herself in sobriety to an eye opening Ayahuasca ceremony to finding spirituality within and everything in between (think sky diving and an actual bank robbery! Whew!) Angie Sue is a delight and I know you will love her as much as I do after you hear this interview! ENJOY!

🐲What is “Stump The Rabbi”?
🐲What does it mean to “chase the Jewish dragon”?
🐲Are Jews judgy?
🐲Is Jen ‘secret Jewish’ ?
🐲 What does it mean to pass through a liminal space ?!??
🐲 How does one hold onto the dumbfounding awe of life & creation after they step onto a new path?

🚧 Beep! Beep! Put on your HARD hat. This podcast is UNDER CONSTRUCTION. 🚧
We are still in "limbo" here at One Step Closer To Death (minus all those unbaptized infants!!! ). That means: this is just another general life update in which I never actually get to the point. If you love to hear the soft yet harsh donkey drone of a middle aged woman who thinks about herself too much this is the episode for you!! There will be the normal tearing up while pushing down vulnerable emotions and mediocre observations about life. After that I pretty much forgot what I said. Enjoy!! 🛒🛒🛒
