This podcast is about the paradoxes we hold as people—the gray areas, the cognitive dissonance. What does it mean to be a feminist and watch The Bachelor? To be politically-engaged and take time away from the news? Each episode I interview someone about the paradoxes they hold and how they reconcile. ‘Cause “we contain multitudes,” right?

Customer Reviews
Eye opening and personal
Through the lens of topics in opposition to each other, Rachel consistently finds interesting guests to share insights on timely subjects. It’s easy listening, and I love that I’m learning with every episode. I feel like I’m sitting among friends as part of the conversation. Thanks for the good chats and I look forward to more!!
Thought Provoking
Rachel brings a lot of interesting topics to the table and digs in with a paradoxical lens that is productively and importantly uncomfortable, helping us see things differently.
So refreshing!
Rachel has the kind of smart, reflective conversations we need right now. There’s often so much pressure to choose sides on every issue, and sometimes we forget that it can be worthwhile to recognize and accept the paradoxes around us.
