New pal Ren Q is on the show in this delightful, thought-provoking, and compassion-filled episode 8 (a bonus episode, two in one week)! Tara and Ren chat about connection to unlikely humans, the cost and occasional good of emotional labor, and the healing properties of comedy. Ren is a comedian and trans-activist taking his show concept “Here To Pee” to ALL 50 STATES! Not only did this standup show play at The Nest in Cbus, but it continues on to 10-15 more stops thereafter and is the source of a documentary. A beautiful question submitted by Chinlak2 (Instagram) is the source of today’s talk, considering the cost of what it means to step fully into the declaration of yourself.
