This is from my podcast interview with Khaiah Thomson, What I Learned When I Wanted to Ignore Polycystic Kidneys on The After Dinner Mint. Issue 20 of Stories I’d Tell You at Dinner released on Wednesday.

This week I’m talking to , a social worker and author of the Blackwood Trilogy, on The After Dinner Mint podcast. Khaiah is a regular contributor at Stories I’d Tell You at Dinner. We bring Christian women in Western Australia together through honest stories.

We explored:

🎧 Turning your creative hobby into your job and finding ways to get unstuck
🎧 Growing up as a pastor’s kid in the country. Khaiah believed she was a Christian, but when she moved to Perth as a teenager she wrestled with feeling alone and unlovable , and God said to her, “You don’t know me.”
🎧 In a time when people want to outsource discipleship of their kids, the value of growing up in a big family where she felt like it was a safe place to wrestle with all her big questions about faith and life.
🎧 Working as a hospital social worker on the renal transplant team whilst also diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease. We discussed how she came to terms with eventually needing a kidney transplant when she wanted to ignore it and learning to rest in the fact that God is in control.

The After Dinner Mint is baaaaaack with our new episode: You’re So Vain, You Probably Think This Podcast is About You. Rach, Britt, Maddy, and Bec chat about our vain interests (see: fashion, deep-diving true crime podcasts, mindless celebrity knowledge, trashy novels, and music you scream-sing in the car with no kids around). The kind of stuff you wonder… “As a Christian, should I even be into this?”

The After Dinner Mint is a podcast of Stories I’d Tell You at Dinner. We bring Christian women in Western Australia together through honest stories.

Issue 18 of Stories I’d Tell You at Dinner dropped on Wednesday! In the episode, we:

🎧 Discuss what we are learning about pleasure, freedom, gratitude, and boundaries.
🎧 Deep dive about personality, identity, stewardship, and the authenticity trap
🎧Share how we work out (even on air), whether a book or a show is a good thing for us
🎧 Explore the role of community in working out what we watch and don’t watch, read or don’t read, listen or don’t listen to.
