© 2023 That Other Laura Engram
Description
Talk and discussions on daily life, motherhood, and our mishmash of a world scene, from a somewhat unlikely perspective. On social media, I still get asked, "Are you that Laura Engram from Fox News?"... Not quite. This podcast is a new project from the woman behind former YouTube personality JWTgirl and The Mouthful Blog.

I was only tentatively planning to continue this year, and unfortunately I felt I had no choice but to be the most cliché thing of the moment. This is a raw, unedited perspective on the purposes, mistakes, and early triumphs of Dave Chappelle's recent comedy spree. It rambles in places, and there are some misspoken words in places, but the episode is left unedited for the sake of authenticity. And now that I've made this episode and I am coming close to concluding the writing of my book, I i...
I've been gone a while due to surgery, but I'm back. In this episode I talk shortly about the actress recently let go by Disney. Then I discuss the great raging debate in and surrounding the transgender community, as always. Biological reality. I attempt to discuss transgender acceptance from the most traditionalist stance and move outward. Finally, I decide to share an intimate detail about myself that is difficult for me to. Song "Letterbomb" was written and performed by Green Day and its ...
I continue reading my book, Growing Up As One of Jehovah's Transsexuals. In the third chapter, I go on a thoughtful road trip with my best friend, struggling to come to terms conflicting feelings, a world collapsing around me, and still having new experiences. My hope is that this book shed light on the difficult choices and ingrained flaws fundamentalists are faced with and learn after years in such cults, and how it is possible to grow.

Now in the second chapter, I continue reading my book, Growing Up As One of Jehovah's Transsexuals.

Sadly, the northwest of the United States is on fire. Lives have been lost and towns torched. The air quality is hazardous, particularly in my home city of Portland. Over a million acres have burned and the size and damage of the fires are the unprecedented results of climate change. Although some say its apocalyptic and godly retribution. With my family unable to escape the hazardous air and concerned for our safety, I ask about how we should respond to the deniers. Listen to my podcast, Th...
Commenting on the Christian groups reaching out to defend Kyle Rittenhouse. The situation is shrouded in controversy, so I ask, what does it really mean to be a "good citizen". What is creates terror, and what is love? It seems like we have forgotten those values, and I'd like to talk a little about that. And the budding signs of Christian terrorism. Can we no longer count on Christianity to be the moral beacon of our culture? Song at the intro is a cover of "Can't Get It Out" by Brand New ...
I continue reading my book, Growing Up As One of Jehovah's Transsexuals, with the first chapter. This chapter is about the desperate, somewhat manic, but anticlimactic day I became known as an apostate to the religion I was raised in. My hope is that this book shed light on the difficult choices and ingrained flaws fundamentalists are faced with and learn after years in such cults, and how it is possible to grow.

A simple but intimate narrative of the life of a COVID-19 single mom. I consider my average week, and one that steadily bubbled into an atypical one. As JK Rowling so elegantly pointed out, somewhere out there, is an intelligent conversation to be discussed as adult "woomuds"... and... muthors(?)... And rights that all parents should be able to count on. Gain access to video podcasts of my book reading by becoming a Sponsor on Patreon. Or just support my work and gain other benefits and earl...

I've been giving a lot of thought to how we are all affected by social distancing. It's not easy to stay centered and rational while isolated, in the middle of a global pandemic and with our current political and economic climate. It can take a toll on our relationships. It can wreak havoc on us emotionally. I share what I have learned from my own past experiences with isolation, mental fortitude, and spirituality.

After a bit of a hiatus, living "stealth", I decide to open up by reflecting on my original feelings and journey, and how I feel now about what it means within the context of communities I've been a part of. Drawing attention to a schism that has always existed within a more controversial community--a divide that has become pronounced in recent years-- I feel there is better word, that removes the clutter and that speaks to everyone.
