Welcoming in our new season with our new Co-Host, Dara George! What will you get from this wonderful episode? Well let me tell you.

We go over:



* Toxic Positivity and how it can turn into gaslighting.

* Challenges with the term “Strong Black Woman” in society and how the phrase can do more harm than good.

* How we are so quick to seek medical attention if you were to brake your arm, but when it comes to matters of the mind, it’s either you’ll work it out, or even worse, “you just need to pray more”.

* What listening does for the soul and how healing it can be.

* Being the only one in the room who looks different and how exhausting that can become.

On the All At Once Podcast this week we welcome Donnell to the ever-changing discussion! What will you get from this wonderful episode? Well, let me tell you.

We go over:



* The Christian church and how it can have a reputation for being hateful and an undercurrent of hate.

* How hip-hop liberated Donnell and made him feel empowered.

* The clear lines between racism, white supremacy, and how it infiltrated the black church.

* Christianity in our government, and how it kind of erases people who practice other faiths and have different beliefs.

* Speaking truth to power- having uncomfortable conversations.

* “Love. Love is considerate, it is empathetic, it understands, it is inclusive, it is radical, it breaks barriers”.

“I learned to make decisions for the little girl version of myself. I have to speak up for her.” -Arnaecia Alridge







I, Kelly, am immensely grateful and overwhelmed that people even listen to All at Once, let alone show up, or fly across the country to engage in this work. Every time I get a notification of updated listener numbers, I am blown away and struggle to believe what I see with my own eyes— people are listening. Who even are these people? I have no idea, but “Hello, whoever you are. Hi, I hope we are serving you well. I hope you are safe. And I hope our words are a soothing balm to your soul. You are altogether beautiful, my darling, and there is no flaw in you.”







For our season 3 finale, settle in and take what is good and beneficial for you and leave what isn’t.







I also just wanted to update y’all on how we are doing. It took ALL that we had to produce this season. If it were any other season, on any other topic, I likely would have abandoned ship. But THIS. This topic is too important to not bring to listeners. Now, more than ever, centering marginalized voices must be a priority for anyone with a platform.







I am outraged at systemic power abuse, racism, sexism, and consumerism. The flaws in our country overwhelm me, even on a micro level. However, the people fill me with hope. The people made this podcast happen. The people need to also rest, and as much as I try to prove myself otherwise, I too need to rest.







The thoughts and questions I’m wrestling with are these: I know human beings have limitations. We aren’t robots. But how do I accept that these limitations are a part of being human, and not a weakness for me to overcome? How does one rest? How do I stop striving for a goal or vision and just simply BE?







My brain knows the answers to these questions. But my body is revealing to me that I have not yet transferred this head knowledge to heart and body knowledge. My family has become a foster family since August. We started this process in January of 2022, and we have been caring for our first foster baby since August. My love for her surpasses understanding. Humans need GOOD parents. I can’t believe I get to be hers, for however long she needs.







Also, I greatly underestimated the mental and emotional toll this journey would take on me. I am tired, and I crave more margin to be present with the children in my home. I have to press pause on a few things in my life to create space to healthily navigate this foster journey. Because of this, the production of All at Once is on pause.







But I assure you, we are not done yet.







To God be the glory.

Toward the end of last season, I, Kelly Browning, realized that this beautiful podcast that my friends and I have created lacked the very representation for which we advocate. We had no voices of color represented as guests or as leaders at our decision-making table. To correct this, and to better understand the deeply divisive issue of racism in America, at the end of our Season two finale with Janis Street, we said our next season would center black voices.







I’m proud to say we kept our word. Season three premiers on September 21. This season, we continue working together to press into these hard topics like the dynamics of racism and power, sexuality, slavery, and colonialism’s connection with modern racism, along with learning from the experiences of a male survivor of sexual assault, and how all of this is influenced by and experienced within Christianity.







One of our guests, Rev, will be performing for us for our first ever ALL AT ONCE LIVE– a free event that starts at 4:30 on October 15 on the patio at Dunn brothers in Friendswood, TX. Bring a lawn chair and a friend and join us for a meaningful night which will also include live music and an interview with Arnaecia Alridge, entertainment executive and fierce advocate for equity in the entertainment industry. We can’t wait to see you there.
