The penultimate episode for this season features a human I feel grateful to have as a friend. Carolanna and I met at Trinity College Dublin and our years of friendship have involved many tangential conversations about all sorts of randomness. One of our more recent conversations was about the experience of home and so naturally, we decided to record an episode about it. Thrilled at what we captured and the biggest shout out to Carolanna for jumping on the podcast!

The episode this week is perhaps the most important conversation I&#39;ll ever record because it features my mum! This podcast, literally, would not exist if not for her so it only felt fair to have her on the microphone. We recorded this over zoom and my mum was quite nervous about the tech giving up halfway, but despite the mic quality on her end (I EQ&#39;d my best), this conversation explores the loss of a parent and what it might be like for me to lose her someday.We talk about how we connected as survivors of abuse, how my early years weighed on her and how our time away makes every moment spent together precious.

Our episode this week features a conversation with the amazing Rachel Wright, a sex educator and psychotherapist based out of New York, and covers many grounds, right from her early years, unpacking what her sexuality meant for her, to opening herself to more love and in the process meeting new depths in her relationships. 

This episode is super special because her work has had such a significant impact on my own journey of meeting the many parts of myself and accepting myself. 

If you'd like to find out more about Rachel & the work she's doing, check out her website or follow her on Instagram

The episode this week features another conversation from my time in Scindia, but one that explores the harsh reality of what it was like being one of the handful of girls on the fort. This conversation barely scratches the surface of what that environment must have been like but I am so immensely proud of what Sukanya brought to the conversation and left me feeling more feelings than I had anticipated.We feel you might be interested in checking out <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/18693771-the-body-keeps-the-score" rel="nofollow">The Body Keeps The Score</a> by <a href="https://www.besselvanderkolk.com/resources/the-body-keeps-the-score" rel="nofollow">Bessel Van Der Kolk</a>.

This week&#39;s episode features a conversation, the roots of which lie many years back at Terminal 2 at Dublin Airport, sharing stories of love, race, and life that just stayed with me. It was so incredibly fresh and powerful to share a conversation like that with another man and I&#39;m glad Kenny decided to embrace his vulnerability and jump on the pod to recreate some of that same openness!I&#39;d encourage checking out his Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kengy16/" rel="nofollow">@kengy16</a> &amp; his work with both <a href="https://www.instagram.com/black_andirish/" rel="nofollow">@black_andirish</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/slightmotif/" rel="nofollow">@slightmotif</a> You can find out more on our Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thewriteupproject" rel="nofollow">@thewriteupproject</a> Love &amp; Citizenship is part of the <a href="https://linktr.ee/thewriteupproject" rel="nofollow">Write-Up Project.</a>Podcast hosted by Rudradutt Shukul (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/wordsofbrown/" rel="nofollow">@wordsofbrown</a>)Intro Track by The Mini VandalsOutro Track by Chris HaugenPatron Credits:<ul><li>Varun Kapoor</li></ul>

This week&#39;s episode features a man I feel exceptionally privileged to call a friend and brother, Ronit Borpujari. Our conversation was a hard one to have, but we both could see the good that would come out of finally speaking the truth about our experiences of living and growing up in a boarding school.
