We live in a world driven by deadlines, paychecks, and political division. But what happens during those moments in between? It’s those small slices of exchange that make up a life. Moments with neighbors, partners, kids, and caregivers. Coming to the table with three very different life experiences we are meeting each other where we are at- and asking the big questions about how to survive and thrive in those moments in between. This is the “Love in Common” podcast.

    Buy Yourself Something Sexy

    This week on Love in Common we talk about who we show the world vs who we really are. Whether it’s conforming to the role your day job requires of you, or finding the courage to speak your truth, we muse about the public and private persona. Plus Frank channels Edith Schaeffer for a little sermon about bibles and garter belts (not necessarily in that order). Take a listen, we are so glad you are here.

    This week on Love in Common we are joined by two very special guests- author Linda Villarosa, and her 92 year-old mother and entrepreneur Clara Villarosa (both ladies also happen to be featured in Erin’s 2016 documentary Dream, Girl). From hearing about Linda’s Pulitzer nominated book, Under The Skin, to about how Clara opened the largest African American Book Store in the country,  five generations come together to have a rich conversation about what it means to be a social worker in our communities, the importance of art in our lives, and the necessity to sometimes party on a roof top in NYC.  Take a listen, we are so glad you are here.

    You Are Not Alone

    In this episode of Love in Common we talk about the things that we are the most proud of that don’t show up on our resumes, plus dive deep into a conversation about mental health and how to find hope in a world that sometimes feels like too much. In this episode of Love in Common we talk about the things that we are the most proud of that don’t show up on our resumes, plus dive deep into a conversation about mental health and how to find hope in a world that sometimes feels like too much.

    Also, just as a heads up, this episode includes a raw and vulnerable conversation about suicidal ideation, and use some language that may be a bit rough for younger listeners, so if you aren’t in the heart space to listen, that’s okay too. With that out of the way, take a listen. We are so glad you are here.

Wisdom, empathy, and humanity in spades

The diverse perspectives, stories, and wisdom brought forth on Love in Common will deepen your sense of empathy towards the world around you and leave you with a feeling of gratitude for where you’re at. Not to mention it’s just straight up entertaining, fun, and engaging. There’s a thread of humanity and tenderness grounded in raw authenticity that each host brings that sets this show apart. Highly recommended.
