54. Becka Eppley, Jen Kinney, Marla Taviano
Today's episode is with three women who have deconstructed their faith and beliefs, are on a continued journey to become anti-racist, and they use their voice to advocate for marginalized and oppressed communities. I asked them to come on my podcast because I wanted to hear about their journey, which included a lot of loss, grief, trauma, and healing.
31: Andrea Kingsley Miller
Today's episode is with my closest friend Andrea Kingsley Miller. We recorded this episode at Andrea's home during the weekend of my birthday weekend and it was easily one of the BEST birthdays I've ever celebrated. Having Andrea as a friend has honestly been the gift I didn't know I needed. She is one of the kindest, most empathetic people I've ever met and I am so glad that we both took a chance at getting to know each other and being intentional about growing our Instagram conversations into an actual friendship. On this episode we discuss the following:
—Why I'll never be anyone's token Black friend
—The importance of safe friendship
—Being your full self in relationships
—The grief experienced when relationships end
4. Evolving Faith with Tiffany Mathews
How much of your faith is your own and not just what others have told you?
We are diving into faith, God, and religion in this episode with Tiffany Matthews. Tiffany Mathews is a person who believes that stories matter and that in them we find ourselves. It was through stories exchanged in letters that my husband and I fell in love. It was through his story and heart that I came to love my first child and watching the stories of my younger two develop has been one of my greatest joys. It is through stories that I have become invested in the child welfare system and in the power of community and belonging.
Listen in as we discuss creating your own path with your faith, how your views and faith with religion evolve, and finding God on your terms.
