The Uncomfortable Talk Show

The Uncomfortable Talk Show

This season, The Uncomfortable Talk Show is getting even more real. I’m exploring the messy intersections of faith, fear, creativity, and humor — the stuff we’re usually too polite to talk about. From anxiety and bad theology to burnout, pimento cheese, and why laughter sometimes shows up in the darkest places, nothing’s off the table. Along the way, I’ll share stories, invite honest conversations, and maybe even bring back a few indie voices to remind us we’re not alone. My goal? To give you permission to question, permission to laugh, and permission to keep going. I’m Susan Moore — I grew up with messy faith, I process life through humor, and I host this podcast because I know how much courage it takes to keep going My website is https://ko-fi.com/thesusanmoore

She shares personal stories of hitting record and deleting over and over, of second-guessing every word, and what finally helped her speak up.

This is for anyone who’s written 100 drafts and never hit post.
For anyone whose hands shake just opening the camera app.

In this deeply personal return episode, Susan Moore shares the raw truth behind her sudden silence — the story of losing 100 pounds, five infected teeth, and nearly losing her ability to write, speak, and pray. This isn’t polished. It’s not performative. It’s survival told in real-time.

From Delta-8 haze to Benadryl fog, hospital trips, and making her bed one day at a time, Susan invites listeners into her hardest season yet — and t...
