Lea Thau wears her entire soul on the outside and that comforts me to an indescribable degree--I think we all need something like her Strangers podcast to remind us that loneliness is transient, brokenness is transformative, and hope repeats itself. I think we need to know that hope repeats itself.

You guys. I have been listening to the best new podcast! Strangers tell stories "to make us strangers no more" - basically host Lea Thau gives space for people to tell stories about the things that connect us all as human beings: loneliness, hope, courage, disappointment, fury, love. The first, longest part is the person telling their story, and the last ten min or so is Lea deconstructing the story's themes and giving examples from her own life, with her deep voice and slow-paced cadence. She gets to the heart of the matter, seeks out the story's emotional truths in such personal ways. It's the validation and exploration of the emotional experience that gets me. Every time. You can start with the latest episode (and my favourite in my short listening period, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman. It features one of my favourite novelists, the gap between dream and reality, and dealing with failure. Excuse me while I explore the entire back catalogue.

"Hearing other people's stories makes us realize that there are many, many different ways to live. And that makes the world feel big. And yet those same stories make us feel connected across all those divides. And that makes the world feel small. And I think that storytelling more than any other art form has the power to shrink and expand the universe at the same time. That's the hope, anyway."

Lea returns to the theme of love and tries to make some sense it, finally.

Lea received hundreds of messages in response to her raw, personal four-part series,Love Hurts. In this follow-up episode, she strings together the funny, poignant and moving voice mails she received from listeners in response to the series and tries to make sense of this thing called love, finally. She also gives an update on her most recent dating adventure…

While doing a story about online dating, Lea gets her heart broken (yet again).

Producer Lea Thau investigates why she's single. She goes back to guys who didn't want to date her in recent years and asks them why. From ages 15 to 38 Lea was never single, but since her fiancé left her while she was pregnant, finding love again has been hard these last few years. Is she too old? Is she too broken from that last big heartbreak? Is she too much this or not enough that? While looking for answers, the man she is dating disappears. This is the first installment in a series.

Friday 22nd May 2015 – still no signs of the apocalypse…..

I know everyone is thinking it – but how did we get to the end of May already? Big W will be putting up those horrible blue plastic Christmas trees any day now.

2015 has been quite eventful for so far, coming off the heels of Europe late last year and a sneaky week in beautiful Las Vegas early this year it feels as though I have been rather spoiled in the travel department.

I have recently merged…
