Chronically Candid
Formerly the Makers, Dreamers, Doers podcast, Chronically Candid is hosted by Morgan Barrett, a Millennial mother to twins and an adult living with cystic fibrosis. Morgan and her guests have open-hearted conversations on everything from nurturing creativity, to personal health crises, to the most pressing issues of our time. The pursuit of this podcast is not necessarily to be 'the expert' on anything, but to share our varied lived experiences through candid (yet boundaried!!!) conversations so that we may learn, unlearn, and expand our mental and emotional flexibility. Join Morgan for fun and thoughtful conversations every other Tuesday at 7 AM CST. Plus, cozy up and make yourself a warm cup of coffee—Fireside Fridays are back once a month! These short (less than 5 minutes) episodes feature a reading of Morgan's poetry and prose (it's only a little bit cringe, I promise).
