About The Real Question
The Real Question is a show that holds space for life’s tough questions. Each episode, a guest brings a personal question they’re grappling with, and Chaplain Mauricio Bruce helps them find an answer. This season, our focus is on future-oriented questions – those that start with ‘Should I…’ Mauricio sits down with guests who are contemplating big and small changes in their lives — whether it’s habits, careers, or relationships. In every episode, he asks the pivotal question: “Who do you want to be and what’s the best path to get there?”The Real Question is produced by Not Sorry Productions, a feminist organization that produces podcasts, educational content, live shows, and immersive experiences with the explicit goal of addressing the spiritual needs of its participants. Through community, rigor, and ritual, we treat traditionally secular things as if they were sacred. To learn more about what we do, visit https://notsorryworks.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Published 21 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] I... Yeah, it feels like a... Like a myth. It feels like a miss. Like a misunderstanding of me. What I'm getting is this is all about stories. It's the stories that you want to tell and also the stories that you don't want people to read or to see. Yeah. Right? How do I tell the right story about myself... How do I tell the full story about myself without letting or encouraging other people to read their own stories of themselves in me? Right. Which I think is a very complex and layered question because I am starting by even wondering if that's possible. Yeah. Like, do people always project their stories on me? […]
