Bonus Episode: D&D, A Safe Space to Practice Life w/ Guest Karina Pardus

Published: April 19, 2021, 7:41 p.m.

Welcome again, last week's guest Karina Pardus!

In last week's episode, Karina and I briefly mentioned that we might do a bonus episode about Dungeons & Dragons. Well, we did! And here it is!

We went a lot of places in this bonus episode, from how Roleplaying Games (D&D is an RPG) help us to have different experiences or even to make mistakes that we would normally completely avoid in real life, to how boundaries at the game table help us to come up with our own boundaries in life. We also talk about how: play is super important, even for adults! You can experience personal growth through playing RPGs because you have to make decisions and overcome obstacles. You can become more comfortable making decisions by making decisions for the character you play as. Limitations facilitate growth and how you can look at life like that too. And a lot of other really cool things! We also talk about how to start playing D&D or another RPG if you're interested in learning more, as well as asking questions and not comparing yourself to more experienced players.


Remember, the #1 rule in a roleplaying game is to have fun! And in life, we can have fun too, if we can just learn how to roll with how the dice fall.


If you want to be a guest on my podcast, then be sure to fill out this questionnaire so that we can see about making that a reality. Because there are so many stories of people rewriting their stars, and I want to share them! https://forms.gle/obKbT739sukbrWWE6
