Schauer Thoughts

This week we’re getting into the psychology, strategy, and *alleged* manipulation tactics of E.L.F. Cosmetic’s latest beauty campaign featuring *womp womp* Matt Rife. Come bare faced or use a good setting spray because the communal Schauer is hot this week and methods to conceal will be tested and removed.

Here we are, part two of our series on becoming who you want to be using method acting and flow state! This week we’ll be fleshing out our potential new personas, giving them motivations, beliefs, lore, and much more to *temporarily* adopt characteristics to expand our range - logically and expressively. No need for movement clothes or dance shoes in the communal Schauer, just hop in whenever you’re ready.

Welcome back! We’re discussing the psychology, neuroscience, and applications of method acting and flow state to develop behavioral and character range, aka “become the person you want.” This week’s communal Schauer will be very STEAM heavy, but don’t worry, next week we’re bringing it all together to cultivate a performance that feels personal and true to you (and who you could be).

Here it is folks, the third and final installment on our mini-series about building trust! Thank you all so much for your patience, for listening, for learning, that’s the attitude to have when entering the communal thought Schauer! We’re sharing cognitive load and helping each other co-regulate [somewhat parasocial conclusion redacted for posterity purposes] so thank you. Can’t wait to talk to you all next week about something tangentially related. Make sure to like and subscribe on Youtube, as well as rate 5 stars on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!

Another wonderful week in the communal Schauer, this time we’re discussing how to develop trust with others! Please keep in mind that this is the structure for trust (the frame) and that your interpretation and expression of trust (the art) are complimentary, not negating one another. I will be doing a part three to cover some accessibility nuances since we did discuss “work value.” Hopefully you finish this episode feeling refreshed and able to build trust in your own life. 

You should also rate this 5 stars! (Please)

Howdy y’all! This week we’re starting to build some self-trust and next week we’ll be establishing trust with others. Like always, we will be taking the long way around the subject, going full third person, but that is necessary to survey the land (self) we are working on. Hopefully a little outdoor Schauer will loosen up the soil and make your excavating a bit easier.

I told y’all that we were keeping it moving! This week we’re going over how the brain indexes abstract thought, how emotions are expressed across cultures, and the self-fulfilling prophecy of gender. Please excuse the tangents this week, Rite Aid closed and I am without Vyvanse. That being said, very happy to have you in this week’s communal Schauer!

Well you heard it here folks, we’re decentering gender this week in the communal shower. What does it mean to decenter? What is gender? Are pronouns “real?” Sit back, relax, and enjoy the musings of a single, 30 year old, childless lesbian.
