  • Some of the realest conversations you will ever hear

    I laughed, I cried, I nodded my head in agreement. Real people from all backgrounds and walks of life talking about what it feels like to be human in the context of one of the most stigmatized and least talked about human experiences.

    Sean Wellington is not an expert or an outsider. He’s just someone who knows how to listen — really listen — and you can feel it. No fixing, no diagnosing, no judgment — just genuine curiosity and a rare gift for making people feel safe enough to say the things the... more

  • Necessary work

    If you found this podcast, you probably really need to hear it. Sean does great work, giving survivors the opportunity to talk honestly and openly. He wants to help people learn how to talk to people who are in pain, because no one really does that too well. He doesn’t claim to be an expert, he just tries to do it as well as he can. That’s a lot more than you can say about a lot of people. I just want to add that you are needed here, that you deserve to be here, and that there is no shame in get... more
