Our guest is Pia Walawalkar, a new UUSM member. Pia shares stories from her childhood in India, how her year in Germany changed her life, and how she ended up in the Bay Area. She also talks about what UUSM means to her and the worst advice she ever got.

It's our 100th podcast episode! Jac's guest is Rev. Laura Thompson, UUSM's new minister. Hear about her childhood, her ties to the Bay Area, her family, how she became a UU and a UU Minister, and how she ended up at UUSM.
