A vulnerability experiment guided by Amy, an average Joesephine living in a glass house. Mistakes are made. But shame is toxic. Openness and vulnerability undermine the power of self-hatred and shame. Join us as we reflect on our own lives and the lives of our guests. We cover topics ranging from thunderstorms and trauma to pirate fetishes. Reflect with us; hopefully, something will resonate.
