    Conservative In a Woke State: My California Reality - Episode 3 with Elizabeth Barcohana

    In Episode 3, I sit down with Elizabeth Barcohana to talk candidly about navigating life, work, and identity in one of the most politically progressive states in the U.S. From social pressure and self-censorship to finding your voice when it feels unpopular, this conversation cuts through the noise and gets real about what “living red in a blue state” really looks like. No talking points. No outrage bait. Just an honest discussion about values, culture, and the cost of speaking up — even when it’s uncomfortable. Whether you agree, disagree, or are just curious, this episode offers a perspective you don’t often hear.
