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
LET'S TALK SEXUALITY: FROM SHAME TO SELF
If you have anything in your life that you feel like you are often asked to explain or educate others about, this is the perfect podcast for you. While my particular experience in this dynamic revolves around my sexuality, you could insert any word into that space; Race, Religion, Culture, Gender - whatever the case is for you. Our world operates in a binary understanding of most things, which leaves little room for those of us somewhere outside of that paradigm, and that kind of gap in understanding leaves a lot of room for shame and fear to grow. Whether you've spent your life feeling misunderstood for who you are or are just coming to understand what makes you the diving being that you are, I feel you. We all deserve to live a life of acceptance and understanding - that's undeniable. The good news is, once we find those attributes within ourselves, the need to explain yourself and pull the rest of the world along after us starts to fade away. And that's when life can really begin to flow and unfold in ways you've only ever dreamed of. If this resonates with you, stick around and join the conversation - I'd love to have you. Let's get into it.
