Mini Episode 6: Can a person call two different cities "home"?
For today’s mini episode, I chose a question that seemed deceptively simple. One that I thought had a straightforward answer. But as I dig into the question, and related to the asker’s quest for belonging, I began to remember, re-trace my own path to where I found a sense of belonging, and what...
-
Episode 5: How do I find the courage to ask for help?
This month’s question brought up so many memories of my own past pain. It touched such a raw and deep place for me personally, so much so that I cried for my younger self, and for the many people out there that have felt this very same way too: wanting help, needing help but feeling like they…

We loved this month’s question because it was so raw, and it’s a topic every woman we know has grappled with on some level: maternity. Whether it’s to become a mother or not, dealing with miscarriages and feeling in some way broken, or not wanting kids and being made to feel by society, somehow,...

Mini Episode 2: Can it work now when it never had?
