The Dreamers and Meggles Podcast

Be ready for a season of trauma! But seriously, this season I will dive into deep topics that all relate to how I came to be who I am today. I also sprinkle in a few more light-hearted childhood stories. Are you ready to get real?

In the very first episode of the podcast, I introduce myself and mostly gloss over things that make me who I am today. Beware, I do briefly discuss growing up as a Christian Democrat and what that experience was like for me. I hope that we can have mature discussions about topics like this, even if you don't agree politically. Please be kind. I also brush over being an extrovert with anxiety and an outcast in school and go over some of my passions.

In this episode I go over a bit of what it was like growing up in my church, touching base on some of the beliefs we had, as well as talking about some of the negative aspects of Christianity. I also discuss how I feel about it now and include what solidified stepping away from the church. Because of this, I do briefly mention politics so please be aware of that and please be kind if your opinion differs from mine. Please keep in mind that these are just my personal opinions and views and it's okay to have differing opinions.
