Communication is what lacks in our society. No one wants to have uncomfortable yet awkward conversations anymore. The Relationally Awkward Podcast brings together hosts Devon Thompson and Nicole Watson to have an open dialogue that challenges your daily perceptions and belief systems. Join them as they go on a thought-provoking journey discussing topics that will both captivate, grip you and bring a new approach and perspective to casual conversations.
As the end of the year is fast approaching, we decided to end this season with a mental health year end review. With so much that has happened in the past two years alone, we wanted to do a check-in to see how things are going. We suggest you do the same. Check in on your loved ones and friends. Not everyone is doing okay. Join us and share your thoughts as we close out season 3 with “Year End Review: Lessons and Coping“.
