This week I’m talking about hope, fear, and oatmeal.
After a rough week, I’m feeling a little lighter — and a little more hopeful — thanks to some surprising election results, good friends, and a fridge full of almond milk. I answer listener calls about faith, fear, and finding peace in a chaotic world.

Topics include:
- Why seeing people vote gives me hope
- What it would actually take for me to believe in God
- How I deal with fear and depression without religion
- Finding comfort in the small stuff (like cooking, yard work, and dogs)
- The joy of rediscovering old songs and small moments of gratitude
Trigger warning: brief mention of suicide and addiction recovery.
