Transparency Card
by Crystal Stevens
The audio diary of cat-mom, recovering people-pleaser, writer, and podcaster Crystal Stevens. Here, she explores the nuance of her human experience; offering her most raw and unfiltered thoughts about life and society. The conversations are refreshingly transparent, often vulnerable, a touch ridiculous and always compassionate. She hopes her daringness encourages you to get curious about yourself, to dig deeper and to find your personal truth(s). This is a stream-of-consciousness style podcast for existential junkies, cat cultists and flourless chocolate cake inhalers.
