Bevin: A Femme Over 40 and her Friends

I lived the first 20 years of my adult life in New York City, Philadelphia and Los Angeles. 9 months ago I took the leap* to drastically reduce my expenses by moving to the forest and living in a tiny house. I recently got even tinier by moving to a 26 foot travel trailer within the same tiny forest neighborhood. I talk about organizing tips, surprises I encountered, my learning curve living in an RV and what I miss about city life and culture.

*it felt more like a fall, you can hear about it in Episode 6 of the Podcast!

Jeff Scult left the busy world of mainstream advertising to entrepreneurialism where he learned "Getting cool with uncertainty" but got really sick. He realized that locked up inside "shoulding all over himself" was someone inspired to create and make real human connections. 

This is the most philosophical episode of the podcast yet! Fear is not the enemy, it's our resistance to fear that's the enemy.

Trystan Reese helps clients get out of defensiveness and fragility and open up to meaningful change. He's an anti-racism coach and a consultant who helps organizations be more inclusive to diverse populations. 

Trystan went viral a couple of years ago when he gave birth to his son. Coming out as trans was a journey--in the 90s we didn't have a lot of role models in the media for what was possible in gender and sexuality. Trystan's coming out story is the funniest I've ever heard. 

"My calling on this planet is to bring balance. Too few people have too much power and my life has been about wrenching the power from those hands and more evenly distributing it amongst the people."

He hacked insecurity by committing to getting 1% better everyday. I hope you'll enjoy our conversation, laugh and be empowered to more accountability in your relationships!

"When I feel witnessed and supported by someone it's because they see me as not man or woman but 'other.'" McKay experienced internal dystopia as a young person growing up in conformist culture.

They were also a Whiffenpoof at Yale and went on a Mormon mission--they have had their fill of frolicking with boys wearing a suit.

McKay teaches dance aerobics, spin and helps people create homes through design and organization. We talk about the magic and healing of dance for the body, reclaiming shame and self determination.

Prison abolition is creating a world free from violence and harm. It can be difficult for some to understand how this is possible since all most of us have known is a society that is based on prisons and policing. There are so many other ways of supporting and sustaining our society and it requires us to open up to new visions! My friend Sonya Mendoza has been working on prison abolition and anti-racism for 18 years and offered to be on my podcast to help educate folks who might not know where to start or want to learn more to advance this movement. Guided by Black women leaders, Sonya has compiled resources to continue understanding anti-racism and life post-police and prisons.

We're in a time where so much change is happening around us and it's on us to be willing to try, fail, learn, do better, try, fail again. I talk about how I'm learning to grapple with failure as a stepping stone and my own experiences learning and growing through change, especially as it pertains to anti-racism. Different roles that folks can play in movements including protesting, protecting, healing, creating art and bridge building. I also give a life update (TLDR: I canceled Netflix) and talk about living in a trailer for the first time!

I mentioned that I'm on the A Tribe Called Queer podcast called "Accountability" from March, 2020--find it on apple podcasts or wherever you find podcasts: Atribecalledqueer.com
