<![CDATA[Honest Conversations]]>Welcome to Honest Conversations — a place where curiosity meets the soul and real conversations unfold like a quiet morning over coffee with someone who truly sees you.

This podcast is a sacred little corner of the world for raw, heartfelt, and thought-provoking dialogue. Together we explore the beautiful complexity of being human — the mind, the nervous system, the heart, and the unseen threads that connect us all. Blending grounded neuroscience with spirituality, these conversations gently invite you to look inward while opening your heart to the perspectives and experiences of others.

Nothing here is perfectly polished. It’s honest. It’s vulnerable. Sometimes messy. Sometimes magical. Always real.

Each episode is an invitation to follow your curiosity, question old stories, and remember the quiet wisdom that already lives inside you. Through stories, reflections, and meaningful dialogue, we create space for deeper understanding — of ourselves and of one another.

Because sometimes the most powerful medicine is simply an honest conversation.

In this episode I am sharing a little on why I wanted to start Honest Conversation w/Ronda. We all have a story to tell. We all have our own path to follow in this life. Mine had been one of strict religious constraints and as I walked out of that institutionalized spirituality my journey became more about relationships than rules. This episode touches on how I was called out of "the church" and into living a life full of peace and love. It wasn't easy, but having a best friend and a safe community made it much easier. I want to be that support for you. You are not alone. My hope is that as we meet here together you will find strength, compassion, hope and love to keep you grounded as you are empowered to walk your own journey. Consider this your invitation to go deeper and find out there is so much more to who you are.
