Embracing Discomfort
As society we tend to run away from the hard conversations that are necessary to have in order to have effective change and this causes a disconnect in being able to truly dismantle divides that have passed down for many generations! Once a week, I will seek someone to have an uncomfortable conversation with and my hope is to have a bigger understanding of the disparities that plague our world. Learning how to listen better, empathize with stories that we cannot relate to, then we will try to always offer solutions. The sky is the limit when it comes to discomfort so buckle up for an hour ride once a week and make sure you are truly taking off your shoes so you can walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.

Episode 3
Welcome to another subject to uncomfortably embrace! In this episode I sat down with Ryan, he served in the United States Army and we talked about his experience as well as other veterans of the United States. We broached the subject of racism in the military, veteran suicide, and the culture that is bred in the military in order to serve this country. We dabbled into COVID today in the military, how we can better support of Veterans when they come home, and advice for the people who are considering enlisting.
Much Love.
