Counterbalancing Hate – A Convo w. Devin

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2570585/fan_mail/new] This episode, Devin and I get real. We talk about hate, discrimination, and everything that comes along with it — implicit bias, accountability, advocacy, and the discomfort that comes with challenging harmful beliefs and systems both internally and externally. We both discuss mistakes we’ve made and how we’ve learned to deal with them. We also talk about the other side of accountability: accepting whatever response someone gives you after you take responsibility for your actions. This conversation comes from a very personal place. Neither of us are experts, but we do encourage listeners to continue learning, take accountability, and also take care of themselves. Content warning: This episode discusses discrimination, hate, bias, harassment, trauma, and mental health. If you have experienced discrimination in any form, please listen with care and take breaks if needed. Resources, articles, and materials discussed in this episode are available in the transcript section for anyone wanting to continue learning.

Building Your Slice of Community- Conversation w/ Michael

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2570585/fan_mail/new] This episode of Share a Cup with Me, Michael and I have a great discussion about communities—from how to start one, how to maintain one, and what our communities actually do for us, to why they’re so important in your life. We talk about shared interests, disagreements, and even the moments where conversations go a little off track—because that’s part of what community really looks like. We don’t always have the same interests, and that shows in the episode, but that’s kind of the point. Being in a community isn’t about being the same—it’s about showing up, listening, and engaging anyway. Mainly, we talk about the idea that if you want a community, you have to be involved in it. You have to put yourself out there. You have to be living fully. So, thanks for sharing this cup with me. I hope you enjoy this episode. Transcript here!

The Connections We Make: A Conversation with Thy

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2570585/fan_mail/new] In this month’s episode, my coworker Thy and I discuss how connections and a person’s network can help combat loneliness and build support. We also talk about how the best relationships have healthy boundaries for both sides, how you can give too much to any part of your network, and how over time some relationships fade while others stay. Overall, we reflect on how connections truly can make you a better person, both mentally and spiritually.

Accountability and Tea with Liz: No Doom Attached

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2570585/fan_mail/new] In this episode of Share a Cup with Me, I’m joined by my friend Liz for our first real sit-down conversation. Over imagined cups of tea, we talk about accountability—what it actually looks like when it’s rooted in care, trust, and psychological safety rather than shame or punishment. We reflect on work, friendship, culture, trauma, and the ways people grow when they feel safe enough to be honest. This conversation wanders, gets deep, and ends where it matters most: with love, grace, and the people who shaped us.
