Contents May Settle
Contents May Settle is the podcast where two friends of different generations, races, and gender/sexual identities have thoughtful conversations. We’ll cover subjects from community to healing to creativity. Most of our episodes are about quality of life. How we can all create a better one for ourselves and a culture that fosters that for everyone.
For instance, changes in societal perceptions, norms, and vocabulary are coming at us fast and there are no memos. We dive in to find understanding, compassion, and common ground.
We hope you enjoy listening in and come away with a new idea, perspective, or tool useful in your life.

Keeping up with gender & sexuality related words
In this episode, we talk about gender and sexuality related words and terms that are not only ever evolving and changing, but might have personal meanings that differ from one person to another. We give some general meanings as a starting point and talk about fluidity. We suggest people respectfully talk to people in their lives and families about what terms and pronouns they use and what they mean to them.

Chaney Williams is a full spectrum doula, ritualist, and writer. She believes that all people deserve access to intersectional, reproductive care. For Chaney, their poetry and creative nonfiction essays are confessional in nature because they create what haunts them. It is the way they make sense of the world they exist in, how she finds belonging, and connects to her ancestors, future descendants, and the collective.
