Description

Welcome to Loving the Imperfect podcast, a show for spiritual seekers and skeptics.  I’m your imperfect host, Brianne Turczynski.

For ten years I’ve studied offerings from holy teachers and holy texts. I’m a teacher and a journalist who has listened to the stories of many people throughout the years. So I thought it was time to share a story or two about my journey and my thoughts on scripture and holy work from different faith traditions and practices: mostly from Sufi teachers, Buddhists, and Christian mystics. 

So, join me as we imperfectly and clumsily make our way through each day mustering up compassion for the hours ahead. 

Thank you for stopping by Loving the Imperfect! New episodes are uploaded bi-weekly!
