The Things We Don’t Want To Talk About
Welcome to The Things We Don’t Want To Talk About, a unfiltered podcast that dives into all the topics we have been taught to not openly discuss that ranges from debunking societal norms, including excerpts from life’s crazy experiences, and the conversations we are scared to have within ourselves. This podcast is a voice for the silenced, a outlet for those who need to feel, and the key to getting a better sense of self through vulnerability and transparency.
