About this listen

This is a show for the ones who feel like they don’t quite belong.

Emily Dukes is no stranger to feeling like an outsider. With a unique upbringing that left her feeling like the odd one out, she’s still searching for her place and voice even as a late 20-something. No topic is off-limits on this lifestyle show, covering everything from the familiar themes you know and love like friendships, relationships, and routines, to the more messy issues like mental health, trauma, leaving religion, questioning values, and more.

No longer is Dukes trying to fit in at the cool kids’ table; she’s set her own table, where anyone and everyone is welcome to pull up a chair and join the conversation. You belong here.

    In what feels like decades, we're finally back on schedule with our regularly scheduled programming! Welcome to episode 3 of the Can't Relate podcast, It's Giving Cult. TW: This episode contains mentions of New Age spirituality, Q'Anon, and church cults. I've been nervous about releasing this episode, as I'm aware it may step on some toes, and I don't particularly like to be disliked. My intention with recording this episode was to shed light on the harmful practices I saw someone close to me fall into and in hopes provide support to you if you have had a family member or friend fall into these traps as well. Honorable mentions: The Dream podcast, hosted by Jane Marie. The Conspirituality podcast, hosted by Derek Beres, Julian Walker, and Matthew Remski.Sounds like a Cult, hosted by Amanda Montell and Isabela Medina. Cultish, a novel by Amanda Montell.
