I thought it would be effective to start this podcast with a talk about religion and death since the launch date is Christmas. Christmas is wrought with heavy expectation when it comes to family and belonging. There is so much pressure. Since I left my husband of 15 years and my native land, I have felt adrift and really odd at Christmas.
How did this conversation about god and death and religion and money land for you? Was it hard to listen to such an intense story about death around this time? shoot me an email at foreignfeelignspodcast(at)gmail(dot) com. and talk to me.

In episode 1, we talk about the influence the church has on our lives. We touch on our relationship with death, money and the gendered role of being a wife. We talk about the translations of cuss words and how to translate the concept of investing money when there is no such thing as a stock market. We bravely approach broad themes like individualism, community, and how we can take responsibility for our actions (even if the devil made us do it). Leave those foreign feelings at the door as we invite you with open arms to talk about all the times we have felt out of place or uncomfortable with religion, the church and money. Fun.
