• About our guest

Today’s episode is a conversation between me and my daughter Alicia. I was pregnant with Alicia when I was 16 and given the context of the conversation I think Alicia and I exploring religion and how it oppresses women is significant in and of itself. Alicia is curious, a critical thinker and she’s not afraid to correct me if she thinks I’m wrong. I’m so glad to able to share one of our breakfast conversations with you all!

**disclaimer**
Although I have my own beliefs and opinions, I also believe that when it comes to religion and spirituality everyone’s own experience is valid. Concepts like these aren’t always black and white. So I think it’s important to explore them in a critical way, while also holding space and respect for other people’s beliefs too.
