Clemenz With a ”Z” Podcast Roy Clemenz

What is up everyone!  Episode 100 here!  Can you believe it?  In this episode I talk about how I always seem to forget the day my dad died and its due to the fact that the gorilla Harambe died that day as well.  Yes, you read that right. 
This has shown me though something important about how we process grief and has helped me move on and live my life a little bit lighter.

What is up everyone!  In this episode of the Clemenz With a "Z" Podcast I was able to interview Jennifer Green.   Jennifer Green is a licensed certified professional midwife and owner of Seven Cities Midwifery Care here in Virginia Beach.  Jennifer is passionate about informed consent, medical freedom, and supporting mothers and families with their birth choices.  On a personal note, she was one of the midwives there at my son's home birth.  
We had a wonderful discussion on home births, medical freedom, the power of having agency in births and the history of midwifery care.  I was able to share more about my love for home births and our birth story as well.  It was a wonderful and educational conversation that you all should check out.  
If you are here in the seven cities and are thinking about having a home birth or want more information about midwifery you can reach out to her at Seven Cities Midwifery Care at (757) 740-0197 or through the all social media channels.

What is up everyone!  Got a part 2 to Tania's story of her life in the church.  I asked her back to discuss deeper what she meant by the idea of the "colonization of faith".  I also wanted her to share further about her experience as a woman in the church and in leadership as well as being a person of color in the church when she moved to the U.S.  I am grateful that she came back to shed more light on these things.  This conversation about our lives in the church keeps growing and expanding!  It's awesome.

What is up everyone!  Got a new episode up for the "We Were In a Cult?" series here on the Clemenz with a "Z" podcast.  I was able to chat with former member of the ICOC Tania.  Tania was a member of the Mexico City Church, a missionary that planted one of our churches in Cuba, and a leader in the Boston Church.  In our conversation we discussed topics such as the colonization of faith, how much work was required of members, the toxic nature of missionaries, and how women were viewed in the church and leadership.

What is up everyone!  I have a new episode up for the DADTALK series here on the Clemenz With a "Z" podcast.  I was able to converse with a dad TJ.  TJ is a dad of 2 young boys.  We had a great conversation about all things fatherhood, pressures of kids in sports, night terrors, and the struggle of wanting to be the perfect dad.  The biggest take away though for me was to remember that you are doing the best you can.  There is no perfect dad out there.  If you focus too much on perfection you in turn stop yourself from being present with your kids and you add too much pressure on yourself.  
If you are a dad and would like to share your story here on the podcast you can reach out to me via email at clemenzwithaz@gmail.com or you can DM me at the Clemenz With a "Z" podcast Instagram page.

What is up everyone?  Got a new episode here for the "We Were In a Cult?" series here on the Clemenz With a "Z" podcast.  I was able to have a conversation with former member of the ICOC, Drew to discuss his life before the church, during, and after.  The biggest take away of his story for me was how important it is for some to find a "stable" institution and the joy it brings them.  That institution also has a damaging power once it is that institution drops them or turns it back on them.
