Part 2 continues the discussion about what it takes to become a counselor/therapist, living with me as a therapist and being a mom from Seneca's POV, and torturing Seneca yet again with another childhood story!

PLEASE NOTE: We discuss multiple topics and some may be distressing to listeners: discussion of trama.  

Thank you for all of your support!

This episode is in celebration of the life my daughter and I lived with my Gran, Betty. She was an amazing woman who said F*ck The Rules, in her own way without ever dropping the F bomb. From raising her children, being a co-owner of an ambulance business, getting her education to be an EMT, raising her grandchildren, being active in her church, and co-parenting her first great granddaughter - Gran bent some rules to get the job done. Including those damn bananas in a bag.

PLEASE NOTE: We discuss multiple topics and some may be distressing to listeners: discussion of grief and death.

Fuck The Rules Podcast
Season 1 Episode 8

This week my guest is Jon, Seneca's (my daughter, her episode title "F*ck, please...") partner/boyfriend  about his history of rock/cliff/mountain climbing and how that embraces his version of "fuck the rules!", rock hounding finds, his fishes' personalities, and consciousness/vegetarianism/meat consumption. It's a lot to pack into less than 30 mins!

The book mentioned in this episode is THE SOUL OF AN OCTOPUS:
A SURPRISING EXPLORATION INTO THE WONDER OF CONSCIOUSNESS, by author, Sy Montgomery. 
https://symontgomery.com/soul-of-an-octopus/

Something not mentioned in this episode, my fault for not bringing it into conversation, was the documentary/film: "My Octopus Teacher,"  a 2020 Netflix Original documentary film directed by Pippa Ehrlich and James Reed. It  documents a year spent by filmmaker Craig Foster forging a relationship with a wild common octopus in a South African kelp forest.
