Help Me Understand is a bold, thought-provoking podcast where a dynamic cross-section of women—leaders in both care and career—come together to unpack the world’s most pressing and polarizing topics. From politics and religion to identity, family, science, and the arts, no subject is off-limits.

What sets this show apart? Curiosity—and connection. Each episode features guests with distinct perspectives, and the women—each bringing lived experience, academic insight, and deep personal reflection—ask one simple yet powerful question: Help me understand.

Together, we explore how to:

• Stay in respectful conflict without shutting down or blowing up
• Discern information from propaganda in a world full of spin and outrage
• Recognize the mindsets and patterns that keep us from deeper connection
• Move from passive observation to active participation—in our lives, and in our communities
• Build more empathy, joy, fulfillment, and courage in the process

Expect humor, conflict, and insight as real conversations unfold with honesty and heart. Sometimes moderated, always real, Help Me Understand embraces the messiness of disagreement while making space for learning, clarity, and belonging.

This is not a podcast about winning arguments. It’s about practicing presence, staying curious, and daring to stay connected—even when it’s hard.

If you’re ready to challenge assumptions, celebrate nuance, and live more intentionally, join the conversation.

Two friends unpack the role of education, government, and community in raising children, covering topics from public schools and homeschooling to housing, policing, and DEI. They reflect on local versus federal responsibility and how civic engagement starts at the community level.

Using honest, sometimes uncomfortable conversation, they model curiosity, listening, and action—encouraging listeners to show up, ask questions, and find common ground in pursuit of change.
