Episode 113 with Rachel & Hiiro - The Lost Art of Listening, Woke Fatigue 40:43

1 yearที่แล้ว40:43

40:43

Are you listening, or are you already commenting? We chat about how comments and opinions are put on a pedestal. These days, the narrative in the digital world has already been formed before the actual narrator has had the chance to be fully listened to. Are folx reacting poorly based on woke exhaustion? And, is there a lack of emotional availability because of this, which leads to more closed-off people who have lost their superpowers of vulnerability and transparency? Some heavy-hitter topics are discussed in this episode. We deeply appreciate your support and if you subscribe to our channel, we might even get a little verklempt. ;) LINKS: Watch This Episode Instagram (@pardonmymindpod) Facebook (@pardonmymindpod) Website…

Get ready to sit down and absorb the many intriguing stories that Jeremie Jalapeno (nee Drainville) has to impart to us, ranging from how he started the infamous Men in Tubs calendar to his "trip" (pun INtended) in Peru. Jeremie “Jalapeno” hails from Gatineau, Quebec and currently resides in Nelson, BC. His love for snowboarding brought him to BC. At the end of the 2014, he fractured his left kneecap snowboarding in a competition, which led him to discover his love of taking photos and for discovering what his mind was capable of while his body was healing. A portion of every Men in Tubs calendar sold is donated to organizations that help support mental health. Jeremie's mission is to create a world of vulnerability and connection through artistic human experiences. And with our podcast centred around finding strength through vulnerability, it was a perfect match for a great convo!

Check out Part 1 with Alice on Episode 78! We're so inspired by their transformation and how far they've come! We caught up with Canada's ONLY professional drag wrestler, Alice Starr, who appeared on the pod last year as they were breaking into the world of wrestling through drag! Since our last chat, Alice has become one of the main stars on the Canadian reality TV series, Drag Heals, which follows the journeys of Queer folx, as they learn how to embody themselves as drag artists! Alice and their partner were also expecting their first born son the last time we spoke, and Alice opens up about being a new parent! We have a very open dialog about unconscious bias and how humans are naturally programmed to categorize or label. This develops into a bigger conversation regarding the way society views humanity within the roles of gender, sexuality, lifestyles and ethics. You can experience the grand slam that is Alice Starr on Drag Heals Season 3, now streaming on OUTtv or wherever you have access to the network.

We chat about our common thread of being Jewish and Tobias' interest civil and political rights in the US. "I live my life controlled by Tourette's... but I use music to control it. I have harnessed its energy—I play with it, manipulate it, trick it, mimic it, taunt it, explore it, exploit it, in every possible way." - Tobias Picker You can catch the East Coast premiere of Awakenings, on February 25th, 2023 at The Huntington Theatre in Boston, which is the Odyssey Opera in partnership with Boston Modern Orchestra.

*Magdalena joins the conversation at the 16 minute mark.* Magdalena is a storyteller through the mediums of photography, filmmaking and storytelling. She is an artist who is not afraid show the authentic, raw and beautiful messiness of being human. Her subject matter has ranged throughout the years, from skate culture, the heavy metal music scene, A-list celebrities, editorials, and more recently diverse groups of people in diverse settings and the archival of her muse, her late mother. She is the true definition of a BOSS WOMAN and her raw and uncensored way of opening up to us truly embodies what our podcast is at the core: vulnerable, raw, candid dialogues with folx not concerned about going to “those places”. **This is our last episode as “Getting Jewcy”, as we’ll be rebranding in the New Year with a new name and slightly different episode structure, but… with the same approach, content, and of course with your same beloved hosts! We thank all of our supporters over the last couple of years! We look forward to bringing you more discussions surrounding mental health, with a fresh mindset.
