Radical Humanity

My series within a series where I explore my own life in uncensored fashion. In this episode I explore an unsettling and lingering memory of why I held back my anger on the last day with my ex while in Ireland and why I felt peace when I discovered the truth behind holding back that feeling.

Another poetry reading and commentary. This was written as I explored my own experience with suppressing feelings and truths, our conditioning that teaches us to suppress to avoid disturbing the “peace” and what arises, on a global scale, when we censor ourselves. Also, those that we demonize and scapegoat, may be mirroring deeper and profound truths for us to see that live and infect the soil of our humanity. 

Series within a series where I talk about life in uncensored fashion. In this episode, how soccer parents are the suburban version of political protestors, the challenge of being vulnerable and wanting others to join in, following my inkling to go the lake, confronting judgment towards myself and embracing that I am still holding on to my ex-girlfriend. Finding peace.

How the ancient story of the healing of a woman hemorrhaging for twelve years, revealed to me that faith is not a belief system, but an inner compelling stirring of our genuine voice, that thrusts us into the unknown, breaking cultural and societal barriers to find freedom and aliveness within ourselves.

A new series within a series, where I talk about my life in an uncensored fashion. In this episode. Porn. Fear. Anger. How much I stress over a podcast episode. Honesty versus artificiality. Confrontation. Sharing controversial topics. The risk of losing friends and clients. Ex-girlfriends and the crazy things I do when in pain. Standing a girl up and then getting rejected. Oh, and profanity.

How a conversation with a friend at a bar over his passions to start a YouTube channel on politics generated a realization that sometimes our own path is one that’s walked alone and why that’s Good News.

I discuss why I think grief is the inspiration behind horror movies, what happens when we grieve and why embracing it is healing. I share my own experiences with grieving.

Rules, laws, and why love lives out of a deeper realm beyond humanity’s mandates. In this episode I explore the meaning behind the ancient story of the pharisees, Jesus, and the woman caught in adultery. Here I discuss why love operates out of a different register and is commonly construed to be “transgressive”.

A sort of humorous exploration, in poetic form, on leaning too heavy on the “heavy” and the obstructions around enjoying pleasure in my life. After, I give a “behind-the-scenes” commentary on its meaning.

A reading and commentary of my poem exploring a time I spent alone in a cabin over a weekend and the events that unfolded over those days. Hiking, grief, dreams, writing, facing loneliness, pleasure, connection.
