The Checkered Jaguar is a breath of fresh air in a world that can be filtered and performative. This podcast is just what you need to reconnect with your humanity, empathy, and authenticity. Brescia puts her heart and soul into everything she does, that much is undeniable. Not only is her production seamless, but her quality of conversations, topics, and guests she has on her show is unlike anything else out there. Her platform is beautiful in the ways it empowers people to share the challenging parts of their stories, to find connection with oneself and others, to lift up marginalized communities, and to educate with love and compassion on experiences that too often are misunderstood and stigmatized. Thank you Brescia! Your grit, your wisdom and voice, your lived experiences, and your presence in this world is truly a gift to all who have the pleasure of encountering your warm embrace. Keep normalizing hard conversations! 💕

Brescia leads the charge of inclusion, curiosity and kindness with her intentional conversations. Her genuine spirit shines through to every podcast guest and she connects so deeply with the audience by sharing her own vulnerability, as a flashlight on a sometimes dark path of being a human. The topics that her podcast covers are such important topics to be speaking about and asking questions about, and it opens up an investigation into what it means to be human and how to grow empathy for others experiences. Thank you Brescia for your important work! 🩷

This podcast is a platform for normalizing what might otherwise feel “out of the ordinary” or uncomfortable to discuss. As a social worker I frequently work in the uncomfortable and Brescia’s style of interviewing feels more like a conversation with a friend who is actually interested in the topic and in making people feel more comfortable with these topics and conversations.

People often say, “the ____ you didn’t know you needed.” Well, The Checkered Jaguar knocks all of that out of the water. The thought, care, and raw emotion Brescia injects into each and every episode is unmatched by any podcast I’ve ever encountered. While remaining personal, professional, and genuine, Brescia’s conversations are thought & growth provoking, insightful, informative, and will have you reflecting on your own life, assumptions, privileges, and experiences throughout. I’d be rich if I had a nickel every time I felt myself tearing up from the raw and authentic conversations shared within each episode - so, to put it shortly, this is truly the most unique, eye-opening, & robust podcast that everyone needs to have on their recently played.

I love the way Brescia is able to help others share their insight and experiences to inspire others. She truly cares about everyone… and the various perspectives on hard subjects is shared in a very thoughtful way.

I have not only the honor of being a guest on this remarkable podcast, but the pleasure of being friends with Brescia. I love that this podcast has me laughing, crying and has opened my eyes to a lot of things I was unaware of. I cannot recommend Checkered Jaguar more, and cannot wait to see what the future holds for you B.

Love listening to Brescia and her diverse group of guests discuss topics that are thought provoking, authentic, and raw. These topics and conversations are what change peoples minds and lives !

I love Brescia and the Checkered Jaguar podcast. She and her guests engage in difficult conversations that evoke vulnerability and growth. She asks important questions and does a great job with the flow of each episode. I genuinely learn so much from each episode. Definitely worth a listen!

This podcast creates the space and opportunity to talk about topics that need to be explored. It allows real people to talk about their stories and share their experiences with others - giving them a bigger voice than they would have before. I believe this podcast has the ability to change people’s hearts and minds, and to make a real impact in the world.

Way to go Checkered Jaguar!! Everyone should strive to understand rather than judge. Talking about difficult things is how we do that. Please keep the great podcasts coming, demonstrating how productive difficult conversations can be. We all need to learn from hearing others.
