The M Between Podcast
by Monique Hatchett
Episode 30 | The Grief of Moral Distress
About this podcast
The M Between is a podcast for the seasons of life that don’t have clean edges or quick answers. It’s a space for the conversations we carry internally - about grief and growth, faith and doubt, identity, longing, and change - but don’t often say out loud.
Hosted by Monique Hatchett, this podcast offers honest reflection and real conversation from inside the middle of life, not from a place of having it all figured out. Episodes feel more like a voice note with a friend - gentle, thoughtful, and grounded in care. If you’re navigating a season that feels tender, unfinished, or quietly meaningful, you’re welcome here. There’s no pressure to arrive, fix, or resolve anything. Just space to listen, notice, and stay with what’s real.
