  • Shaming rather then unshaming

    I listened to an episode about borderline personality disorder and sadly this episode more shames people with this disorder rather then unshames. First, it contains many misinformation, e.g. that trauma is needed to develop this disorder (not true) or that it can never be ‘cured’. Maybe also because it lacks discussion about effective treatment e.g. dbt and cbt therapy or medication. Studies show that people diagnosed with bpd often show no symptoms after 10 years of diagnosis (if they undergo t... more

  • Fantastic show - bringing light to astigmatisms

    I really enjoy this podcast. It brings many different topics and astigmatisms to the spotlight and sheds light on them. We can only grow and accept ourselves if we are willing to talk about it, learn from it, and face these things, and that is just what this podcast does. Definitely a great listen.

  • I feel heard

    I came across this podcast by complete chance and can’t praise it enough. I’ve never listened to a podcast I’ve resonated with so much. I feel heard, my shame acknowledged and addressed as a POC in the West. Thank you.

  • Very nice idea, but these people are DEFINITELY supported…

    The groups, like Asian American, lgbtq are really celebrated in our culture. So I’m not sure what they feel they need to hide, because basically everyone supports them. I like the idea though. It would be nice to have other groups of people like pro lifers, or Christians, because we sometimes feel shame of our beliefs when other yell at us or hurt us for it. Best of luck podcasting!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Homophobia in the Catholic Church w/ Father James Martin
Q: Why do you think it's so hard for the church to accept gay people?
Scripture is often interpreted literally in this area, but real change comes from personal experiences with LGBT people and reimagining God beyond the punitive image; the church can be welcoming when it prioritizes mercy and inclusion.
Sexless Relationships w/ Ian Kerner
Q: Tell us what the two sexual personalities are.
They are spontaneous desire and responsive desire; some people feel arousal quickly and spontaneously, while others experience desire that emerges and is cultivated over time, requiring patience and willingness.
