About This Podcast
Joint Discussions Pod is a discussion/ lifestyle podcast hosted by two coaches/ex-pastors that woke up and deconstructed their faith and sought out pathways to reclaim themselves , which inevitably led to the collapse of our previous marriages and lives. But eventually found each other, fell in love, and decided to share our insights and experiences to help other people like us.
We dive into heavy/funny juicy conversational topics ranging from dating during divorce, the dating pool, life post high control religion, blending families, and more.
If you are a person that has woken up, and realized the life you built was somebody else’s plan - not yours and you’re in a crumbling relationship with kids and shit ton of responsibility - then this pod is for you.
Also, fun part of JOINT Discussions is that we decided to go sober from alcohol and lean all the way into the green. So light one up and join us for some juicy discussions!
