  • My Third Eye with Lawrence Nemeh

    My Third Eye with Lawrence Nemeh
    Jul 5 2022
    Recently, hope seems kind of hard to come by. Our dear friend, Lawrence (AKA Rence), enlightens us with a spiritual awakening that they experienced over the course of 2020's darkest days which honed in on love, connection and the power of leaning in to who you are. Rence wanted to note that the beliefs discussed in this episode are theirs and theirs alone. They do not intend to insult or offend any other beliefs, and they approach this subject with respect and compassion.

    Jess gives us a taste of her standup with her retelling of an awkward sexual encounter that made her realize the importance of advocating for yourself and that maybe first times don't always need to set a precedent.
