Have you ever been knocked down by life's curveballs, only to pick yourself up again? Our latest Private Lounge chat episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, as we open our hearts to discuss the stings of rejection and the grip of financial challenges. We tackle the uphill battles of loan acquisition, the emotional toll of student debts, and the predatory nature of some systems that bind us. It's a conversation that weaves the thread of hope through the fabric of hardship, reminding us that while the struggle is real, it isn't a solo journey.
Transitioning from hardship to personal triumph, our dialogue moves to the growth that buds from adversity. We share stories of how crushing professional rejection can lead to a stronger sense of self, the value of recognizing one's worth early in life, and the beauty of personal development. These anecdotes aren't just about overcoming, but about flourishing in the face of societal beauty standards and the transformative power of self-acceptance. They're tales of life's unexpected admirers and the hidden potential that lies within each of us.
Finally, we celebrate the bold steps and life-affirming choices that define our journeys. From taking calculated risks in career shifts to the joyous leap of relocating, we highlight the courage behind these decisions and the meticulous planning that often goes unnoticed. We delve into the richness of supportive communities, the bravery in sharing our stories, and the impact our actions have on those around us. Join us as we navigate through the complexities of life, sharing not only a dose of reality but also a heaping helping of optimism for anyone on the cusp of taking their own leap of faith.

Losing both parents at 12, Don Long quickly figured out how to navigate the world in what he calls, “bootstraps theology,” figuring life out on his own and taking no punches. But Don’s theology only got him into trouble, even a knife fight. A loving step mother and caring mentors guided Don to the only source to really pull him out of his bootstraps–Jesus Christ.
Don never thought he would make it past 18. But a kind mentor brought him to church. Don said of his early church days, "I literally would slip and sit in the back row. And then before the 'men' was done with 'amen,' I was out of there." God answered Don's desperate prayer to be able to read and understand the Bible, and from that moment, his life was changed. Don is now a pastor at Valley Church in West Des Moines, Iowa, where he heads up Valley Global missions.

In this episode: I wish what I’m about to share was an anomaly. Unfortunately, this story is more the norm than not. I decided to share it because so many of even my closest friends do not understand the hardship associated with this situation. So many people suffer with the same dilemma. The financial burden that is student loans and just getting an education. This is my personal story.

OMG Leave me ALONE!! I’m trying to sacrifice a goat to our lord and savior Lucifer (from Cinderella). Too bad that bitch is dead. But Batman, the one true hedgelord, taught me that there is one thing that trumps all powers in the cosmos: MONEY! Blood Diamonds black as my soul. So in this episode my orderlies probe into the depths of the depraved world of our Capitalist Gods, and finally prove that nothing else matters but the ALMIGHTY dollar 💰.

Two amazing humans navigate the gray as they discuss the concept of acting white. Too often, the world asks people of color to do the "white thing" because that's considered the norm. Even if people of color were to fit into the white norm, they will still be behind the curve, because that is how our society is built. Our systems are designed to uphold whiteness, so acting white will never be enough. We challenge our listeners to ask a different question - instead of "Why don't they just..." ask "How might we?"

We decided it was time to do things quite a bit differently this week. Noah tries to clarify a misperception about himself and the guys talk unseen baggage, which slides into what is far and away the most personal episode of Graining In to date.
Matty's positive, boisterous, almost Golden Retriever-like personality suits his profession just about as much as possible. But the path he took to get to where he is today is nothing short of astounding. He gets extremely candid with Noah about losing his father to cancer during high school, forming an addiction to opioids that grew to be nothing short of extreme, his multiple suicide attempts, and a year-long sentence in jail. The account of the hole he found himself in and the lengths he took to pick himself up is occasionally shocking and often painful, but is above all else a deeply and profoundly inspiring experience. Regardless of how self-hatred, addiction, and death have factored into your life, there are undeniable threads of universality in his story that can't help but boost your drive to be a more compassionate and grateful person.
Rest assured though - despite its heaviness, the conversation is still chocked full of the (healthy) self-deprecation and lack of pretension of a normal episode, just with a tear or two on the side.
Do yourself a favor and listen in... Your heart will thank you.
