My Good Bad Brain episodes

  • MGBB 24 - narcissism, anxiety, space for loki

    Hey family. Gonna switch to more solo eps for a while. I jumped off this week talking about anxiety attacks I was having and thoughts I was having related to an article about what narcissists see when they look in the mirror which of COURSE I, with the weekly podcast named after my own brain, was interested in reading! Hope you get something out of the ol' pinball brain.

  • MGBB 23 - What if I'm fine?
    Hey y'all. I've been feeling honestly like... fine? It's weird to feel that way when your identity feels so wrapped up in constantly being NOT fine. You know? In this very Brain Breathey Brain Breather I explore this thought.

  • MGBB 22 - Koda (listening, the burden to get well)
    My friend Koda, a beautiful and brilliant musician, photographer, all around person, and he posted something this day I'm gonna copypasta "the burden to get well should not be placed entirely on those who suffer. there is a universal thread that ails all of us - unwittingly or not. listen to the people who are hurting, who struggle to get out of bed, who are haunted." I was gonna do a Brain Breather this week but after reading that in conjunction with some other synchronous messages in my life, I asked him to join me for a conversation and he was nice enough to agree. I hope you get something out of this ep, check us out on patreon.com/mygoodbadbrain if you wanna support the pod and/or please rate and review us 5 stars wherever you can, like all the other pods tell you: it makes a difference!

  • MGBB 20 - a weird experience with Death.
    This episode is about death. It's weird. I saw someone die a few weeks ago and it was very awful and strange. I just spend this time thinking about it, the nature of it and my personal history with it, which is quite mundane. Death is part of life and equally as incomprehensible. I think this episode is not elegant, I think I say fucked up things, I think maybe I am fucked up. My Good Bad Brain so far has shown me that my honest weirdness and confusion and probably general incorrectness resonates with other humans who also don't feel and act the way a person is "supposed to" or don't know what that even is. So, that's in here for sure. IDK. Anyway. Hope you get something out of this. Self - care, hydrate, etc.

  • MGBB 18 - The Universe Is On My Side Except When It's Not.

    A solo ep, as usual every other week, Jarrett talking to Jarrett about getting through life with My Good Bad Brain. Today is about the power of narratives and using an understanding of them to help maintain an understanding of paradox to help ourselves improve ourselves. Also the question of intent comes up, the utility of self coaching with brainless navy seal tough guy stuff, picking and choosing what serves us or doesn't, video games as a helpful paradigm for testing positive thinking and manifestations strategies, NO RAGRETS, and... well I say the word paradox a lot. And maybe challenge The Universe to a fight? It's the longest Brain Breather yet.

  • MGBB 17 - Lisa Schwartz (OCD, Anxiety, A New Study on Trigger Warnings)
    The wonderful Lisa Schwartz has done a lot of stuff on YouTube and has written and produced and performed in lots of shows and performed at a lot of birthday parties but you can find all that out with google, if you don't already know. Today we talk about fun stuff our good bad brains get up to, Lisa talks about her OCD and Anxiety and we talk about impending death and curiosity vs. judgment and the strange what is going on here "humanity" of YouTube and reality TV. I hope you love it! (Oh, also, we discuss an article called "Do Trigger Warnings Help or Harm?" by Steve Rathje from Psychology Today you can read it here: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/words-matter/201808/do-trigger-warnings-help-or-harm )

  • DREAMTAPE 1
    So, this is an old thing I put together and was reminded of when someone sent me a message about it last week. They said they still listen to it when they go to sleep and I thought that was pretty nice. I explain the idea in the opener, but it's a not quite ASMR not quiet ambient meditation not quite music not quite poetry reading not quite podcast collection of all those things and I just called it a Dreamtape. Something to zone out to or workout to or chill to or do chores to or fall asleep to. I never made another one, but being reminded of it this week has made me think I might. I hope you dig it, let me know! Thank you to Jason Scardamalia for all the music collaboration and contribution.
