  • S5 Ep21 Imagine a literal blow to the head is what it takes to start healing. Laura Renner lived it.
    Jan 21 2025

    Laura Renner is a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) charge nurse who suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2021, which only added to her list of major health scares over the previous four years. This prompted her to dig deeper into her past and led to the realization that she had complex trauma and needed help. She’s now turned it into a hilarious story of hope and survival for others.

  • S5 E20 Her parents were slave labor in WWII. Why aren't we talking about that more?
    Jan 14 2025

    Oksana's parents were both 'conscripted' into being slave labor for the Nazis. They weren't in a concentration camp, so we've never heard of them. But there were more people forced into slave labor during the war than were killed in camps. This is a side of the war rarely (if ever) discussed. It's time that changed.

  • S5 E19 Reverend Cheryl Kincaid talks about the connection between Charles Dickens and Christianity!
    Jan 7 2025

    Dispel the ideas that you might have of Charles Dickens from that "one" movie and learn from someone who spent a literal LIFETIME researching his life and connections to politics and the church. Reverend Kincaid truly fell in love with Dickens when quite young, but a much more personal connection was made later on when she realized who Tiny Tim really was: HERSELF.
