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.

This is the first ever recorded conversation for Institutionalized. I chat with my 19-year-old daughter, Alivia, at the dinner table. Alivia is a college student with a heart for the homeless. She talks about growing up Gen-Z, what she wished she'd been taught in school, and what older generations can do better to foster a better conversation with young people.
