Loving the Imperfect

By: Author Brianne Turczynski
  • Summary

  • Welcome to Loving the Imperfect podcast, a show for spiritual seekers and skeptics. I’m your imperfect host, Brianne Turczynski.

    For ten years I’ve studied offerings from holy teachers and holy texts. I’m a teacher and a journalist who has listened to the stories of many people throughout the years. So I thought it was time to share a story or two about my journey and my thoughts on scripture and holy work from different faith traditions and practices: mostly from Sufi teachers, Buddhists, and Christian mystics.

    So, join me as we imperfectly and clumsily make our way through each day mustering up compassion for the hours ahead.

    Thank you for stopping by Loving the Imperfect! New episodes are uploaded bi-weekly!

  • Father Eric Williams: A Life in the Priesthood
    Apr 9 2025

    Send us a text

    Today we'll hear from Father Eric Williams, the priest of St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Rochester. He's going tell us about his journey being an Episcopal priest. This interview is more of a conversation, so you'll hear a lot more of me in this interview, and it's a longer interview than most of my others.

    So, I hope you enjoy this episode, and you get a lot out of it.

    Thank you for joining me today.

    Send us a text

    Today we'll hear from 90-year-old Dr. Daniel White, a local physician in this area, well known and well-liked by everyone.

    He was drafted into the Vietnam War as part of a MILPHAT team and spent some time in Vietnam with the civilians.

    Unlike most men who were drafted, Dr. White had a positive experience, and the friendships he made with the civilians has lasted a lifetime.

    Thank you for joining me.

  • A High School Student's Journey with All Things Celestial
    Mar 12 2025

    Send us a text

    Today we will hear from a 17-year-old local high school student who wishes to remain anonymous.

    He is very interested in space, and as of right now, he wants to be an astrophysicist. Despite all you'll hear in this interview, this student is still afraid that he will not get into college.

    What's really inspiring about his story, apart from his tremendous knowledge about space, is that he struggled in the first part of his high school career with his grades. He says that he was a blow off and he did try very hard. But it's unfortunate in our school systems that we do base so much of a student's goodness on the letter grade they receive.

    He had an epiphany where he had to change his perspective on everything.

    I hope that you enjoy this episode. Thank you for joining me.
