MindShape
MindShape hosts Joey Braun and Avery Chatman ask everyday people to answer difficult questions about their past traumas. After helping over 80 people share traumatic stories, it's clear that vulnerability is the bridge that connects people. Their goal is to empower their guests and inspire the people who listen to their stories. All the stories told are about trauma, which means episodes will contain life-sensitive content. The listener's discretion is advised.
