it's my absolute pleasure to welcome Colin Bedell to the stage today, and boy oh BOY has he illuminated Bedside Manner Universe with his signature eloquence, warmth, and intellectual generosity. Colin (who you may know as QueerCosmos) is my favorite astrologer, and an astute academic who infuses relational dialectic theory, psychological literature, queer theory (and much, much more) into his masterful teachings of astrology. if you love Esther Perel, Brené Brown, Judith Butler, or Britney Spears, then honey you are going to love this show! his insights on human nature are so relevant to all of us in caregiving roles, and he delivers them with his signature eloquence and grace from start to absolute finish. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • how Colin put the Queer in QueerCosmos
  • pulling from “unrelated” parts of your former lives/education and applying it to your approach in caregiver
  • the right we have as caregivers to question existing paradigms
  • how astrology can contextualize relationships using the transformational power of polarity dialectics
  • proving theory with data
  • the evidence i ALWAYS wanted for how morning routines can determines the quality of our relationships
  • power within/power with/power over/power to
  • why i, personally, am not doomed bc of my natal chart
  • the power of not leaning on certainty, and practitioners weaponizing certainty
  • how Colin transformed his self-deception
  • what queerness teaches us about the complexity of relationships and compatibility
  • historical preservation and queer icons
  • deficit vs. strength methodology

    • Colin's Soft Powers: levity //  curiosity // responsibility
