QBT with Shawny and Jerms

We took a break, but WE ARE BACK, BABES. This return is a family affair as we are joined by KEEKS MAG creative duo (and QBT superstars) Keana Marrero and Carlos Valle. We talk about new beginnings: creative identity, working with a sibling, life post-lockdown, creating community, and much more. We are so excited to share this with you and begin our season 2 journey together. 

*Editor's Note: Jerms' mic is a little hot at the start of the interview... sorry :)

It's the end of Season 1! We are so excited to be joined by Mike and Travis from the Rainbow Road Podcast to talk all things gaming and how the practice influences their mental health. We talk sh*t about loud incel bros, creating community, and dating daddies. Are you a first person shooter babe, an RPG f^g, or a mentally ill farm sim angel? Up first, Shawny and Jerms reminisce about season one and offer blessings to each other for the break. Is Sour Good4Us? Are you High on the Hog? Does Nina West belong at Pride? All these answers and more... See you soon, babes.

This session we are joined by smokin' hot babe, Andrew Gurza. Andrew is a Disability Awareness Consultant and Cripple Content Creator. In their work, he seeks to explore how the lived experience of disability feels, as it interplays with intersectional communities. Andrew and the babes get into hiring sex workers, sex and mental health, whose responsibility it is to educate, and nutting handsfree on a train. (Interview begins ~00:26:30). Up first, Shawny and Jerms talk about Legendary Season 2, Amy Adams needing to fire her manager, and Gaga's most recent offering about past traumas. This episode is full of learning for us and we are so grateful to Andrew for joining us. Check out his podcast, Disability After Dark.

Are V-Necks gay or straight? Why are cartoon superheroes more believable than celebrities playing dress up? Why did Janet Mock do that to Lil Angel Papi? All of this and more on this week's session where we get into tips, tricks, and skills to try for the management of stress and adjustment disorder. We cover suggestions from our own lives and offerings from different therapeutic orientations. The vagus nerve of it all, honey! We hope this episode offers you at least one new thing to try in the maintenance of your stress and trauma responses. Our resources doc is filled with more information about everything we talk about this week, and remember-- we might be therapists, but we aren't your therapists xx

This session the babes talk about stress and adjustment disorder. What is it? How have the babes experienced it, and is this diagnosis gaslighting natural responses to a f*cked up world? Up first, the babes reminisce on Queen Bey's masterpiece, Lemonade, guilty ass pig Chauvin, Mortal Kombat, and Kehlani's glass closet. Tune in next week as the babe's discuss ways to manage adjustment and other stress-related symptoms.
