The Contended Perception Podcast

Education EN ↓ 35 episodes

I created this podcast as an outlet for myself. I feel like my personal ideas and opinions about life, in general... are often discredited and/or disliked, by those around me. When my opinions have simply formulated over time, through my own life experiences and formal education and are often, contended because it makes the other person challenge themselves. Knowledge and wisdom come as you grow and develop throughout life. && all I can hope is that this podcast makes you think twice about the topics I present. You don’t have to agree, I simply ask for you to hear me out. 🙌🏼🙏🏼 namaste
