  • Postmodernism: The Philosophy of Mirrors
    You guys, I want to say that this might be my most favorite podcast episode yet! I am working through a series of philosophies that express the human spirit and as I delve into politics, psychology, sociology, philosophy, I continue to work closer towards my soul's purpose of looking at how we got this way as humans in the western civilization.
    Nihilism
    Absurdism.
    Existentialism.
    Feudalism.
    Amongst many more fall under this particular theoretical philosophy (if we let it), and it is extremely interesting!
    Postmodernism in well known for the idea that nothing in itself is real and that all actions are reactions to the reactions to life as it is interpreted. 
    Some shit, eh?
    They may be "right" though...

  • Left, Right, and Center: The Politics of Being Human
    Welcome back, everyone!
    I thought it might be fun to continue my series on "isms" by confronting the three largest political philosophies in the US: Libertarianism, Liberalism, and Conservatism. The ways they're different, ways they can relate, literal ways in which brains can be different, and how they relate to the founding of our country! Super interesting stuff!
    Stay tuned for more interesting "isms" as we journey to the center of how the f**k society got this way lol.

  • Neo-Marxism: questioning questions with questions
    What a crazy in-depth episode this is guys! I am so grateful to call in author, instructor, editor (and my best friend) Courtney Dupuy! In this episode, we question the fabric of reality, core components of culture, and how the f**k to feel good when everything seems to be falling apart!
    Enjoy!

  • Anarchism Part 2: Our Black Flag of Many Colors
    Welcome back everyone!
    Today we are following up our discussion on Anarchist philosophy and the many ways it can manifest. 
    I totally apologize for my poor wimpery dog in the background; also, I would be lying if I said she didn't throw me off as I tried to convey the depth of this topic tonight haha. 
    Anyway, here is a list of some great resources to check out if you're interested in furthering your understanding of this topic, but don't worry, we will probably do a third episode once I become more obsessed! Mostly kidding!
    Love you guys!

  • Beyond the Borderline: Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder from the inside
    Welcome back to another episode of one woman's journey to center of how the F**k society got this way; my name is Christy Ann and I will be your emotional support host!
    This week I wanted to sort of break up our conversation on Civil Rights and the Women's Movement and take on something a little bit closer to home. For anyone that knows me knows that I have studied and experienced traits of Borderline Personality Disorder since I was 12 or so years old. I have spent numerous hours researching and studying the behaviors in others as well as in myself to see how these traits manifest and how this may show up in a person versus how it shows on paper so to speak. 
    This particular episode is full of some very real conversation around emotional distress, childhood neglect, identity disturbance, and potential self-harm so for that I want to issue a bit of a "trigger warning". This show takes the role of a sort of "public personal therapy session" between myself and I and I want to use my platform to help others understand this diagnosis from the inside and clear away some of the stigma associated with BPD.
    This will likely be a two part show, so stay tuned!
    Below are my sources quoted therein, and I look forward to hearing on your feedback!
