Podcast Description
Awakening to a deeper grasp of reality can be a disconcerting process . As we begin to notice how much insanity permeates existence, old ways of thinking may fail us. For the increasingly conscious, this weekly podcast offers companionship, insight and exploration into the strange, messy and amazing state of being human. Amy and Kara, survivors of a religious heritage, talk about life beyond belief in gods, doctrines, and "getting it right” or “wrong.” Who could have known that a simple thing like existing could be so complex?

Great podcast! Smart, funny, interesting. Not your typical self help mumbo jumbo, these are some smart ladies. Bring us more!
Awesome Thinking Piece
A lot of great ideas and a wonderful joy to listen to. Not Preachy or overly anything. Just some great ideas and insights into what it really is to be human in today's day. Definitely for anyone who has ever questioned the society build today and if we, as humans, really benefit from it.
