Bevin: A Femme Over 40 and her Friends

McKay! You recognize them from the Fat Kid Dance Party Workout Video 4 pack, episode 44 of this podcast or if you've ever had the good fortune to have shared space with them! If not, you're in for a treat! 

McKay shares with us all about the Free Britney movement, we deeply discuss the record industry, diet culture, patriarchal media, and our spiritual connection to the pop icons who molded the creators coming of age today. At MmmmBop Cardio there's a dance move called the "Free Britney." We offer this as a prayer. And a visual demonstration on the you tube video of this conversation.

We also talk about connecting with our bodies as prayer and discernment and committing to spiritual alignment.

Jeffrey Marsh is a viral sensation! Known for warmth and acceptance on the social media, thoughtful articles and the incredible book How to Be You, Jeffrey is truly a hug on the internet. Their book How to Be You is an incredible roadmap back to yourself, part memoir, part self acceptance essays and part journaling prompts. 

We talk about Jeffrey's coming out (mom drove off the road), BOUNDARIES, and being kind not nice. Long walks. Self care. Luxuriating in the experience of being exactly who you are.

I started out being a fan of April Flores and as fate would have it we became friends! She truly is my favorite sex performer/porn star of all time (she's that good) and she's a really fantastic, loving, deep human being. April was an early life widow losing her husband and collaborator, photographer Carlos Batts seven years ago when he was just forty years old. We talk grieving, resilience, love, making family, creating in this new subscription economy and being unapologetic fat girls!

"Queerantine horny" is a Subtantia Jones quote from one minute into our conversation. There's nothing off limits in this conversation! This is really like brunch with Samantha Jones if she was a queer fat Southern photographer who came out late in life. Coming out later in life, living a life as a photographer of naked fat people who hasn't been shooting during quarantine, Substantia Jones is ready for "Full out Caligula" once the qurantine in over and we're back in person. We talk about love, lessons learned, sex, visions for the future, dreamy memories and creating! Join us on the virtual porch!

Deidra Bliss is a homeschooling mom, entrepreneur and award winning cannabis creator. She's also completely obsessed with plants! Deidra is the co-founder of the Glowing Goddess Getaway, a women's self care cannabis retreat, and she is very focused on helping folks glow up with plants! We talk about entheogens and how to use them to open up consciousness and vibe up during covid. Microdosing, hero tripping, mushrooms, DMT and of course, cannabis. We also talk about eating plant-based (she's not strictly vegan but she's focused) and her newest passion--house plants! Don't forget to check out Episode 5 of this podcast for my first conversation with Deidra (trust me, you want to hear her backstory)!

I met Claire Coughlin Powell because we are both passionate about self care and cannabis! We met via the Glowing Goddess Getaway retreats and I have been attending her laughter yoga club since Summer 2020. Laughter yoga is nothing I expected but everything I needed! Claire has a wonderful cannabis origin story, raised in a family with cannabis use. She's living out the vitality of enjoying the sacred present moment and the seasons of life. She's a mom of two teenagers and began her San Jose laughter yoga club fifteen years ago. Beginning a venture with toddlers is a wild ride and we talk about all of it!

Rest is Essential! Beginning in November 2020, I kept getting messages from Spirit that I needed to rest. I began a journey over the last couple months of reflecting on what rest means to me, how much rest I really need, and what I wasn't doing when I was distracting myself with endless events. 

I hope these reflections help you understand more about the role of rest in your life and what you might be able to let go of in order to welcome more rest!

These times call for remedies to anxiety! Meet my Yoga and Tapping for Anxiety teacher Noemi Sparks! She shares her daily routine for getting out ahead of anxiety or addressing it when it does come up. We talk all about plant remedies--Cannabis and essential oils specifically, and more about Noemi's background and her work as a one on one anxiety coach.

Content Warning: Suicide. I've been suicidal several times in my life. As a former lawyer I learned firsthand why the profession has four times the national rate of suicide. I struggled to fit myself into boxes that weren't made for me and suffered significantly with my perception of what others thought of me.

A potent tool I use to help myself guard and change my thoughts during the dark and difficult times is a list of things I can do *right now* to shift my thoughts or emotional experience. I create or revise the list when I'm doing mentally well so that it becomes my "break glass in case of emergency" list. In this episode I go through my newest list so you can get ideas for yours, share my experience and observations of my experience with suicidal thoughts.

Disclaimer: I am not a mental health professional, just a person who has worked hard on my own mental health and how to make the world liveable for me. I strongly endorse therapy and if cost prohibits therapy, have found great help in donation based 12 step programs.
