THE UNSIDED PODCAST
Our world is divided - economically, racially, morally, spiritually, and politically divided. We are divided by sexuality and by gender. We are divided by belief which has been handed down by our family and foisted upon us by our community. Social media and the 24-hour news cycle only further muddy the waters of understanding. In a world brimming with divisions, staying open-minded is more challenging than ever. But what if we could change that narrative?
UNSIDED leaps headlong into these divides, not to widen them, but to bridge them through conversation. A conversation that explores all sides and uncovers the intersections. A conversation that requires vulnerability and willingness to learn from others. Here we allow for a space in which like-minded people can come to better understand what motivates others and to grow themselves, even if mistakes are made along the way. No judgement. No shaming. No cancelling. Just endless curiosity and ultimately, connection.
THE UNSIDED PODCAST
BREAKING THE PEOPLE-PLEASING HABIT
Calling all my people pleasers out there! You may think it's helping others or keeping the peace by sacrificing your own happiness for another person or group of people, but trust me it's not. And I speak from decades of experience. It's actually quite harmful to everyone involved. No shame, btw. It's a pretty remarkable survival tactic and it probably helped you make it through a lot of your worst days - especially as a kid with no control or agency over your life. But now it's time to let it go. To show up authentically for YOU. To speak and live your truth. To ask for what you need. Easier said than done? Maybe. But worth it? Absolutely.
Let's get into it.
