Hosted by Drenda Thomas Richards · society · EN
About this Podcast:
All those things I was told polite society shouldn’t talk about? Well, I’m giving it all a microphone. Taboo Talks is the show for women who’ve done everything right & still feel like something’s off: Menopause symptoms your doctor is dismissing. Workplaces (& sometimes you) that tolerate what shouldn't be tolerated. Faith communities that mistook silence as agreement. Caregiving in a relationship that was complicated long before the caregiving started.Alternative healing that's working when nothing else did. And more!Every episode gives voice to the conversations women aren't having out loud. Host Drenda Thomas Richards is a Belief Disruptor, Reiki Master, speaker, former cop, and former ordained minister. She spent decades inside patriarchal institutions dressed up as workplaces, churches, and public service. Apparently, everything she wants to talk about is something someone told her not to. Now she says it out loud and helps other women do the same. Fierce. Fearless. Free.
