The Glorious Mess
The Glorious Mess is a storytelling space for the ones who grew up in chaos and still became something. Hosted by Raymond Jordan Johnson-Brown — a social worker-in-training and multi-hyphenate creative — the show explores the power of story: the ones we lived, the ones we hid, and the counter-stories we’re claiming now.
Each episode sits in narrative, not advice. You’ll hear lived experience, moments of meaning-making, and conversations that open space for listeners to draw their own conclusions. Every season brings a new guest host as we talk healing, identity, and all the messy, brilliant ways people rebuild their lives.
