This is the episode where I talk about unblocking my road block. The road block that kept me away from podcasting and impacted my life hugely! Thanks for sticking with me! This is part 1 of a multipart episode, so be sure to check back for part 2! The diagnosis.

Memories

This is the episode where I talk about memories. It was recorded Christmas 2021, but is just airing. ----------- I am a collection of thoughts and memories and likes and dislikes. I am the things that have happened to me and the sum of everything I've ever done. I am the clothes I wear on my back. I am every place and every person and every object I have ever come across. I am a bag of bones stuck to a very large rock spinning a thousand miles an hour. Macaulay Culkin

Finding Your Special Someone

On this episode, I offer my thoughts/suggestions on things to consider in 2022, for those who are not voluntarily single and who are hoping to find a special someone this year. I initially was going to tag it finding love, but love sometimes seems so abstract, especially when you can't put a face to it, so let's focus on finding a special someone, and see how those feelings evolve. All the best in life & love... 'Kemjika

Hierarchy of needs

The Parenting Conversation - Shame & Guilt

This is the conversation where we talk about parenting vis-à-vis shame & guilt.  The episode is much longer than any other I've posted so far, but I couldn't bring myself to cut it short.

Epilepsy

This is the episode where I share a very vulnerable subject. You can probably tell from my voice that I was overcome with emotion and I recorded at night! Note my night and day voice! Epilepsy is a neurological disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations, and sometimes loss of awareness. 70% of people with epilepsy can gain seizure freedom with medication alone. 30% of people have drug-resistant epilepsy.  1 in 10 people ...

Bonding through grief

On today's episode of the podcast, I have with me, Erin, my very first guest!!! We will be inviting you into a conversation that we bonded over. Our first phone call was supposed to revolve around genealogy and true crime (our shared loves!), but we ended up chatting for almost two hours about grief & loss! It was truly emotional and I'm very honoured to have her share so openly and vulnerably with me. I  wish you all had been flies on the wall for our first conversation which wasn't recorde...

Waiting for a ring - Outdated or nah?

This is the episode where I go on and on about why I think women waiting for marriage proposals are antithetical to feminism & partnership.
