Season 3 Episode 26: Transit Stories w/ Laura Chung
About this podcast
Come on a journey of navigating humanity in this dumpster fire that we call society with me, Dr. Nicole Truesdell - a 40-something ex-academic deconstructing and shedding all confining systems of my previous life. I talk about coming out late in life, astrology, emotions, relationships, the raggedy space we call society through an abolitionist lens, spirituality, ancestors, Orisa and anything else I am led to share. This is how I dream in the public, so come along with me as I create my abolitionist dreamscapes. To learn more with me check out my Patreon "Abolitionist Dreamscapes"!
