This is Institutionalized: Living After Deconstruction. Deconstructing is hard, especially when done alone. In this raw, accepting, and sometimes hilarious space, host, Josh and his guests will ask the questions they weren't allowed to ask, challenge norms that keep us stuck in the past, and actively listen to different perspectives. This podcast is about love and living after deconstruction.
