Help Me 2 Understand is a podcast where women give their voices to issues of social justice, political activism, giving back and more. I'm your host, Felicia Garland, and I want this to be a place where honest conversations can happen. We live in an age of political and social divisions, global warming, economic inequality, racial tension, and a breakdown in many of our social structures. And that was just this morning’s news. It's overwhelming and confusing. I know I want to make a difference in the world, even if it’s only a tiny one—but I also feel, and I think you might too, that we ...

Hosts Adrienne Garland and Kent Gustavson go deep into “kind” in every episode. Their polarized, oscillatory, at times slap-happy and at times dead-serious conversations range from the practical to the absurd, wandering sometimes aimlessly, yet always delivering valuable perspectives. Seeking the deeper meaning of kindness in today’s surreal world, they explore questions like what is kindness? Can business people really be kind? Does karma exist? Do trees really fall in the forest? Dr. Kent is an O.G. podcaster and founder of Podcasts That Matter, and Adrienne is the CEO of SheLeads ...

Encouraging words for busy days, tough seasons, and women who do it all. With a perspective rooted in faith and rounded out with years of working high pressure jobs to amateur fighting and now motherhood, I aim to encourage women to make intentional choices to focus their lives around what matters most to them. I explore topics like hope, vulnerability, identity, and habit formation. I'm on this journey, too, and together, we can figure out how to feel at peace and unburdened.

Hamlin Garland is mostly remembered today for his innovative collections of short stories; Main Travelled Roads is his most famous collection. It contains six stories and is an undisputed American classic.

Though the outcome of the American Revolution is the high point in the history of the New World, the victory of the embattled colonists was a tenuous one, shaped by heroism, suffering and an abiding thirst for liberty deeper than the harbors that played host to so many battles.

Big players are getting taken down, while upstarts are starting up, gunning for market share, and outmaneuvering the Goliaths.
