Let's Talk About It: Whatever "It" Is
Welcome to "Let’s Talk About It", where we talk about the “its” that no one wants to talk about. Have you ever been in a situation where you have a certain set of thoughts, feelings, or questions but you think you are the only one? That can be an isolating place to be. But oh what joy when someone comes along and says something that shows they are in a similar headspace. Suddenly, you feel a little less lonely. Join hosts Paula and Olejuru as they hold space for these kinds of conversations.
