Episode Synopsis


In this episode, I have a great conversation with Mona Lazar, an artist, writer, and relationship coach.  Mona and I contemplate finding reflection in a relationship, why social roles must change for humanity to survive, and how filled doughnuts probably roll downhill better than those with holes in the middle.REFERENCES:Mona's personal website:  https://monalazar.com/Find Mona on Medium:  https://medium.com/@monalazzarFind Mona on Substack:  https://wordwhisperers.substack.com"And Then All the Women Wanted to Be Lesbians":  https://medium.com/the-soulciety/and-then-all-the-women-wished-they-were-lesbians-419923cf10fGender Identity Today:  https://genderidentitytoday.com/(00:00) - Show opening
