Isle of Misfits podcast

Ugly is forreal. That’s the bad news. But the good news is, so is BEAUTY. So how do we resist the ugly and uphold the beauty? That’s what today’s mini-misift moment is all about!

We're kicking of Season 9 (that's right, SEASON 9!!! Can you BELIEVE IT???) with a very special episode inviting friend of the Misfits and all around Left Brained/Right Brained Renaissance woman Laura Wade.  She also happens to be one of my dearest friends, and Type A role models.Laura dazzles us with her Fanilow knowledge, not to mention her pitch perfect skillz in our Stupid Game... we talk a bit about our friendship of decades upon decades... and we talk a lot about music - namely her music! She shares some samples and stories behind some of the tracks of her latest musical project "Expressions"... and we have a great discussion about going out on a limb to "sing your own special song" which of course is music to our Misfit ears. Mostly, this is a conversation that will encourage anyone who's wondering "is what I have to offer worth sharing with the world?"  (SPOILER ALERT:  The answer is YES!  But you should still listen, cause it's just so good). You can find Laura (and get her Expressions CD at birdonabranchmusic.com (not to mention read her blog and watch some of her stuff on Youtube).And you can find more Misfit Fun for everyone at isleofmisfits.comAlso, follow us on Instagram at the_orginal_Misfit!While you're here, we'd love it for you to share this podcast, and if you feel it deserves 5 stars, give us a shoutout! Most of all, keep: Owning Your Awkward Loving Your Fellow Misfit Seeking Beauty and Truth Everywhere

Oh yeah, we're still talking about being WEIRD, cause that's what we do around here. (Go back and listen to Part 1, it's really good!) If you've ever noticed, weird is one of them there SPECTRUM words, ranging from the delightfully eccentric to the dangerously delusional.  There is weirdness that should be celebrated, and weirdness that should frankly be extricated. So how do we delineate? Should we delineate (spoiler alert:  the answer is yes!)And how do we know the difference between what should be celebrated and extricated?That's what this short episode is all about.Weirdos of all stripes are welcome to listen in! Resources:Philippians 4:8  Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.(https://www.biblegateway.com/pn=NIV) For more podcasts, blogs, and Misfit Fun for Everyone, join me here:   isleofmisfits.comFollow me, and give me a shoutout on Instagram:  @the_original_Misfit
