My 'why'.
It's pretty simple, really.

Hey there!
Let’s dive right in and embrace the uncomfortable moments in life. I know, I know—sounds a bit strange, right? But hear me out! When you’re facing deep, personal issues and find yourself reaching for your phone to ‘Google’ those bizarre, intrusive thoughts swirling in your mind, wouldn’t it be refreshing to discover an article that says, “Yep, I totally get that”? Well, hello! I’m Amanda Welsch, and I’m on a mission to turn those uncomfortable moments into something a bit more cozy and relatable. So, why “Risk the Conversation”? Well, that’s my little challenge to you! Risk it! Take a chance and talk about what’s on your mind, whether it’s a tiny annoyance or a big issue. And if someone doesn’t want to hear it? Well, who needs that negativity?
Have you ever taken a peek at your Google history and thought, “What on earth is wrong with me?” Trust me, you’re definitely not alone. We’ve all been there, sifting through our searches and wondering how we got from recipes to existential crises in just a few clicks.
This blog is a safe space for everyone—whether you identify as male, female, transgender, non-binary, agender, or anywhere in between. I wanted to create a community where no one feels weird or isolated. Weird is simply a part of being human, and different is completely normal.
So, what can you expect here? I’m diving deep into a variety of topics that often get brushed under the rug. From sensitive issues like abortion and sexual abuse to the challenges of preeclampsia and navigating life as a mom of a toddler with autism, I’m here to shed light on the stuff we often keep to ourselves. And yes, I’ll even tackle those awkward conversations about unwanted body hair and the complexities of sex.
But that’s not all! I’m also going to explore societal issues like the gender pay gap and the pressures of hustle culture. These topics may be a bit more involved, but they’re incredibly relevant to our lives today. We’re all going through something, and it’s time to talk about it.
This blog is about more than just sharing my thoughts; it’s a space for connection and community. Here, we can laugh, cry, and explore life’s awkward moments without the fear of judgment.
Let’s step into the uncomfortable together. We’ll navigate this messy, beautiful journey and celebrate all the quirks along the way. Remember, you’re not alone in this—there’s comfort to be found in the chaos. I said it once before and I’ll say it again. Let’s get uncomfortable!
