Are We Allowed to Talk About This Yet?

Every episode is layered and nuanced. As soon as the episode ends I typically immediately listen to it again because there is so much to examine. These are universal topics that we typically don’t talk about because they expose our vulnerabilities, but I think it’s about time we embrace our vulnerabilities.

You don't expect it, when the words and feeling you've had in years past come out of the mouth of others. It's not the same experience, it's not the same problems, but hearing that the feelings and emotions are reflect by others who are struggling through similar and difficult situations is staggering every time it happens. We constantly think our problems are so unique to ourselves that there is no else out there who would understand those feelings. Hearing these stories, reminding myself that it needs to be shared, this needed to be said. Please let us talk about it now, and keep talking about it.

Thank you, Suzy, for starting this conversation.

I listened to the first episode and was totally captivated by the story being told. I think the format of the podcast is fantastic too. They talk about such deep issues, but the conversational way they dive deeper and deeper into it makes it so accessible. It’s raw in its honesty and every episode is so sincere. I think it’s impossible not to be griped by every moment of it.
