Perspectives - The Podcast

This podcast is a conversation between 2 long-time friends, both at different stages of deconstructed faith, one a Gen X and one a Millienial, about their Perspectives - which are constantly evolving - about any topic under the sun!

Meet Laura & Jessi

Laura (on the left here...no pun intended!) and Jessi (on the right, but only in terms of this picture!) are two very long-time friends who have spent countless hours over the years having deep conversations, about every topic imaginable, almost always over cups of coffee. (Since we've broaden our horizons, our drinks of choice have expanded as well.)

For years, while having these conversations, we would joke and say, "We should have our own podcast!", so we finally decided to just do it.

Our discussion topics have always been varied, and we each have our own Perspective - which is what we hope to bring to this show.

While our backgrounds and experiences are very similar, our personalities are fundamentally opposite, and we are in different life seasons in terms of marriage, family, and career. Each of these factors also plays a big role in the perspectives we hold, and how those perspective have, and continue to, evolve.

We hope that you'll enjoy listening, that you will subscribe, and we would love if you jump in with our discussions on our Facebook page! We look forward to having your perspectives added to our mix!

This episode is a bit of a mish-mosh of some crazy things that Laura has had going on - and a big question that we tackle... Can/do people really change?
We also had a bit of a technical glitch, so unfortunately, the episode has a bit of an abrupt ending - for which we are both bummed and do apologize!!

Jess and Laura's birthdays are a week apart, and just happened, and so they decided to take some time to reflect on getting older, how they feel about that - and more specifically - what kinds of things they would tell their younger selves if they could!!
Also - they are looking for feedback on what kinds of topics you might be interested in hearing them discuss on the pod!!

It's been quite a while (a LONG while) since we got together to record! We fill you in on where we've been, what we've been up and what our current perspectives are! We had plenty to say, so we actually split our conversation into 2 parts...here is part 1. It's a bit of a mish-mosh of things, but we hope you'll still want to connect. As always, feedback is welcome!

It's been a minute!! In fact, it's been so many minutes, Jess basically forgot how to edit this podcast, and so as you'll hear - the beginning is a little bumpy. But - raw and real - that's what we're gonna call it. If you've been wondering where we disappeared to, we'll fill you in on that, AND then we dive into the discussion topic of if boycotts actually hurt - or help. We hope you'll listen, and we'd love to know your take!!

Jess and Laura are talking about understanding our personal "whys" - what motivates us, what determines our priorities and informs our decisions; the  reasonings - our "Why" - for doing the things we do. Join us as we look at some of our own personal whys, and how we try to be intentional about living by them.

1hr 15 min

Between being stuck smack in the middle of the dull, gray days of winter in the Northeastern part of Pennsylvania, and just watching the world unfold in what seems like a fictional disaster story - the ladies sat down to record last week without a topic in mind, but as they talked what emerged was what they are doing to just survive these days. So, rather than having nothing to discuss - they just rolled with and ended up with a bit longer than normal episode. Listen in to see what is working for them to keep their heads above water right now...and chime in on the socials to share what is keeping you surviving these days!!!

It's the New Year and the ladies are discussing - resolutions, yes or no? What goals they have heading into 2025 - both some new things, and continuing to build on things that they were doing in 2024. After taking a few weeks off, they are back in the swing and looking forward to what adventures this year will bring!! Listen in and find out what Intention and Exploration are meaning to them, and of course, at the end of the episode, the nugget of "what they are learning".
