Finn tells me about the many ceremonies involved in Universalist Unitarianism, including water communion, bridging ceremonies, and angel wash. Then, Finn explains why UU is not an apolitical religion, and we discuss political differences between the US and Canada. Finn also talks about what it's like to be trans in a UU community, and gives us a brief overview of sex education and anti-racism* work within UU. Lastly, I ask about worship services, prayer, and misconceptions about UU.  *In the interview, I reference a book I read about race and the ELCA recently. That book was Dear Church: A Love Letter from a Black Preacher to the Whitest Denomination in the US by Lenny Duncan.

    All About Therapy! w/ therapist, Lindsay Hall

    In episode three of A Time For Everything, I am interviewing a therapist and asking YOUR questions about therapy! (And also whatever other questions I feel like). I ask Lindsay (she/her) a little bit about being a "casual Catholic," and about the intersection of faith and therapy. Then we address all the questions. How do I start looking for a therapist? What should I do if I can't afford therapy? What can I expect to happen once I do find a therapist? What are the red flags to look for in therapy? Why don't therapists talk about themselves? Will I get a diagnosis? What does treatment look like? What about medication? What about marijuana and CBD products? And finally, how do I break up with a therapist? We also talk about enneagram, because, of course. I ask Lindsay how being an enneagram 9 affects her work. You will want to stick around until the end because Lindsay tells us a love story!
