Meet Karla and Bryan. Karla lives in North Carolina and Bryan lives in Los Angeles. Two guests? Yes, because this episode takes us down memory lane. It took me weeks to finally find the couple that were once lovers on paradise island to exes... *cue dramatic telenovela music*. No, I'm just kidding. I'll let you be the judge. This, is Bryan and Karla's story. ------------------ FOLLOW THE PODCAST TO ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION WITH ME after the episode is over. www.instagram.com/workinprogressmedia/ Track Info Title: Oceanside by Scandinavianz @scandinavianz Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

Meet Alessandra. She lives in South Florida, she is an artist, 25 years old and is starting all over again. But, what does that mean? If you have come to ask yourself this then you'll want to listen. In my conversation with Alessandra, we spoke about reclaiming your power in an abusive relationship, what she did to leave, and making "the decision." Trust me, this is a hard one. So, like always, this... is Alessandra's story. ------------------ FOLLOW THE PODCAST TO ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION WITH ME after the episode is over. www.instagram.com/workinprogressmedia/ Track Info Title: Oceanside by Scandinavianz @scandinavianz Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

Meet Caiden, or "CJ," as they are called among their friends. They live in Ohio, but lets look past that minor detail as their story begins the moment they came out. I'm using such pronouns because Caiden is a 24-year-old, trans non-binary person. In conversation with Caiden, we speak about how diversity does not always mean race, how we are ALL transitioning, and how this conversation teaches us the importance of "us and them." This... is Caiden's story. ------------------ FOLLOW THE PODCAST TO ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION WITH ME after the episode is over. www.instagram.com/workinprogressmedia/ Track Info Title: Oceanside by Scandinavianz @scandinavianz Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

Meet McKenna Garvey. She lives in Wisconsin and has a message to share with you: shit gets better. What gets better? Well, life. I want to take a moment to pause with all of you and to ask yourself: how am I today? Answer that honestly and then clear your mind for the next couple of minutes in your day to listen to McKenna. In my conversation with her, she shares with me her battle with wanting to feel alive and the fact she never had any resources available at her high school to help her understand what was going on inside her brain, which eventually led to surviving depression with finding the cure overseas and being body positive. ------------ FOLLOW THE PODCAST TO ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION WITH ME after the episode is over. www.instagram.com/workinprogressmedia/ Track Info Title: Oceanside by Scandinavianz @scandinavianz Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

Lauren lives in Miami, Florida, but has always lived a life of "emotional awareness." Some of you listening might wonder, "I'm emotionally aware. What is Barbie talking about?" In my conversation with Lauren, we talk about this generation, which we call the "therapy generation" where we're all started to feel more comfortable discussing mental health but are we really seeing a benefit? We all talk about how damn hard it's become to make friends in this age, outside of spaces like college, and how novelas have given her "single girl superpowers." This... is Lauren's story. ------------ FOLLOW THE PODCAST TO ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION WITH ME after the episode is over. www.instagram.com/workinprogressmedia/ Track Info Title: Oceanside by Scandinavianz @scandinavianz Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/b...
