Education EN ↓ 97 episodes

It all started on the deck at home, Wednesday nights, no agenda, just snacks, stories, and whatever was sitting heavy or hilarious on our hearts. Somewhere between the laughter and the “wait-same” moments, we realized the more we share our truths, the more others feel free to do the same. Join me, my co-host Meg, and the incredible guests who gather on the Deck, telling our stories without shame and without pretending we have it all together. We’re figuring it out in real time, choosing honesty over highlight reels, growth over guilt. The kind of beautiful messiness that makes you feel seen.
