In this episode, Shena Gazaway joins us in a discussion of her nurse-led research, providing primary palliative care in patients' homes— where this care is urgently needed but often overlooked. We explore how she leads serious illness conversations, manages complex chronic conditions, and builds trust with patients and families to ensure care aligns with their values.   From qualitative studies to pilot-tested toolkits that empower patients and caregivers—especially in underserved Black communities—we explore what it truly means to lead with empathy, equity, and evidence.  Whether you're a nephrology nurse wondering how to deepen your role or a provider curious about innovative palliative care pathways, this episode offers practical insights, personal stories, and a call for more providers in this vital space.      Shena Gazaway PhD, RN, CHPN®  Shena Gazaway PhD, RN, CHPN® is currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

In addition, her work centers on the belief that individuals living with serious illness are the best navigators of their illness experience, and interventions must incorporate local knowledge, beliefs, and practices for long-term success. Specifically, her research is focused on developing and optimizing community-informed decision-support interventions for individuals living with advanced chronic kidney disease and their caregivers. Shena is currently funded on a K23 from the NIDDK and a pilot grant the Forge AHEAD center, a P50 center grant funded by NIMHD.

In this special episode, Dramos opens up about how that silence made it harder to talk openly with friends and partners about sex, intimacy, and boundaries.

Dramos also shares why learning to be vulnerable with peers and partners is so important for sexual health and building real trust.

What happens when two of America's most fearless voices on race come together for an unfiltered conversation? In this powerful episode, host Mick sits down with Emmy and Peabody-winning storyteller W. Kamau Bell and education equity architect Glenn Singleton to explore what drives their decades-long commitment to racial justice. The conversation dives deep into what Bell calls "the Black baton" – the generational responsibility passed down through families to make life better for those who come after. "When my grandparents handed the black baton to my parents, it was lighter than when they got it," Bell explains, describing his mission to ensure it doesn't become heavier during his lifetime. Singleton echoes this sentiment, sharing that his work stems from recognizing that his generation has "more than we've ever had" and feeling responsible to continue the progress. Both men offer practical wisdom about having these crucial conversations. Singleton breaks down his groundbreaking "Beyond Diversity" framework, celebrating its 30th anniversary, which begins with the fundamental question: "What impact does race have on my life?" Bell shares how he navigates these discussions with his three daughters, emphasizing that even his seven-year-old understands political realities in age-appropriate ways. "Justice is sometimes a thing you see that authority will tell you not to see," he explains, highlighting how he empowers his children to recognize injustice. Perhaps most valuable is their guidance for those hesitant to engage in race conversations for fear of saying something wrong. Bell suggests examining your social circle – are you surrounded by people who will lovingly "call you in" when you misspeak? Singleton adds that understanding the "paramount importance of racial justice" in American society is the starting point, followed by recognizing that "race is a symbol of power" with whiteness at the top of the hierarchy. Whether you're a parent trying to have these conversations with your children, a professional navigating workplace dynamics, or simply someone committed to building a more equitable society, this episode offers both inspiration and practical approaches to moving beyond comfort into the spaces where real change happens.

Artificial Intelligence isn't just changing our work—it's reshaping who we are. In this compelling Not All Hood conversation, Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Candace Kelley dive into the unseen influence of AI on our creativity, our thinking, and our emotional lives. As AI tools make it easier for anyone to sound brilliant, the question becomes: what makes us truly original? They discuss how tech like auto-tune and AI-generated writing have blurred the lines between human and machine-made, and why the real power lies with those who know how to use AI without losing themselves. From students fiercely defending their AI-aided essays to professors requiring handwritten work just to ensure authenticity—this episode questions what ownership, authorship, and creativity really mean in a digital world. We also tackle the shifting landscape of DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) and how language and branding around it are being reimagined in real-time.

Even strong men can be deceived. You rejected wokeism. You hate feminism. Good. But have you replaced those lies with a new idol? In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon is joined by Jon Harris (host of Conversations That Matter) to expose how even based men fall for ideological traps. This isn’t just about the Left. It's about how all ideologies twist truth, reduce manhood, and distract godly men from Christ. Whether it's race, class, politics, or even “based” tribalism—if it replaces Christ as the center, it's a lie.

Special Guest: Celeste Headlee Celeste Headlee is the host of "On Second Thought" at Georgia Public Broadcasting in Atlanta and has been a host and correspondent for NPR and PRI since 2006. She is the author of the book, We Need to Talk: How to Have Conversations That Matter (Harper Wave, September 19), a practical guide to the lost art of conversation. Celeste's TEDx Talk sharing 10 ways to have a better conversation was listed as one of the most watched TED Talks in 2016 (CNBC) and named the #1 must-watch TED Talk by Glassdoor (with over 11 million total views to date.)  Being able to have productive conversations is a skill—and it's a skill, built on a series of other skills from being assertive to listening to ensuring that we were heard correctly and yes, that we have heard and understood correctly what others are saying. These days, with so much communication relying on electronic screens and emojis, the art of conversation may be at risk. And that's a scary thought. To put ourselves in the frame of mind of taking in the importance of good conversation skills, just think of what happens when poor communication happens—people get the wrong idea, mistakes are made, feelings are hurt and stuff does not get done in the right way. And when conversation is clear and strong and good- progress is made, we feel understood and connected- truly, it can make all the difference.

It's about choice. Knowing who you BE, understanding your habits in who you are, how they get in your way, and how to develop a way to choose.We all have habits of being that were grooved into us long ago. In how we were raised, in who we are when we're born, and in what we go through in our lives. These are unconscious, and help us navigate our world. Just as we outgrow our jeans, we can also outgrow our habits, but we don't often realize that this has happened.So how do you gain awareness of this, so that you can stop getting in your own way and choose a life of intention? How do we manage to  feel steady enough to see who we really are, so that we can ask these questions of ourselves? Well, I think, joy is key. It supports us in our humanity, in seeing ourselves without judgement, and in seeing the humanity of others as well. It enables both hope, and grace. Hope in something better, and grace for lapses in ourselves and others.All this is why, in my fifth year, I'm doing these podcasts. These topics matter.

After the funding fiasco at the U.S. Agency for International Development began to unfold, it was revealed that a number of Christian charities had taken federal funding to help facilitate mass immigration. Some leaders within America's largest evangelical denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention, have dug in and defended the organization's role in refugee resettlement. This stance is out of step with the values of the average SBC member and raises serious questions about the way that funds are being allocated.
