Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully inter ...

I'm kicking the conversations back off again with a casual chat with Pete Smissen (who is making his 4th appearance on the Mere Mortals).
In Conversation #80, Pete and I discuss: horrible things from general history, why basically everybody in Australian history got wrecked, our thoughts on a whole bunch of issues facing the world, cultural nuances regarding how immigrants view education and why (shock and horror) women are different than men.
As always, I hope you enjoy. Kyrin out!
