No Small Thing

Christmas of Desire w/Todd McGowan and Reuven Pinnata by No Small Thing Podcast

So much of our conversations regarding the enneagram, psychoanalysis, and curiosity in general circle around the concept of archetypes, but we've never actually spent an episode focusing on this particular concept! In this episode we have a fun, playful, curious, silly conversation about our emerging understanding of what archetypes ARE and how they impact our minds, relationships, and so much more. We'll definitely be returning to this topic soon!

It's no small thing with hoodies. Join us as we wander through all the associations that come about when we sit down to talk about hoodies. Utility, style, color, fit, culture, art, liberation, and just LOVE for the hoodie are all parts of this conversation.

Our second hopefully annual conversation with Professor Todd McGowan about Christmas movies and Psychoanalysis! What a better way to process the comedown of the holidays by thinking about what makes Christmas so fun yet so depressing. We talk about the movie Carol and lesbian/ queer Christmas as well as a host of other rambly curiosities. Todd is one of our favorite guests and conversation partners so we hope you enjoy this as much as we did.

It's been a while since we talked about The Enneagram! We're feeling a little rusty so we partnered up with one of our favorite enneagram druids- Ben Campbell. In this episode, Ben takes us through some super helpful, creative, light, inviting ideas regarding how integrate The Enneagram into your daily life. One big takeaway is that we're not just meant to be sitting an intellectualizing about The Enneagram all day! We need to get out there an live and join a community and TOUCH GRASS. We hope you find this conversation helpful and refreshing.

Fall is just around the corner and it brings up a lot of nostalgia for this season where many of us where heading back to school. It seems like a good time to share some memories, talk about the symbolism or metaphor of returning to school or learning, and talk about some life updates regarding your No Small Thing pals!

222: Friendship with Reuven and Pat by No Small Thing Podcast

We're back y'all! This week we discuss an anime that is the headwaters for so many other pop-culture creations we love! Most significantly- Steven Universe! Revolutionary Girl Utena was way ahead of its time when first aired in the mid 90's! Its a fabulously queer surrealist story that invites curiosity and a psychoanalytic engagement. Its dreamy, disturbing, empowering, beautiful, and HILARIOUS. If you already know Utena we hope this is a cathartic conversation for you and if you're new to the show we hope it encourages you to give it a try! you won't regret it!
