September 23, 2024Episode #79: How to Do Social Justice This Election Season Without Being a Jackass: Understanding Populism. November's presidential election represents a comparison between two forms of government. One, a democracy, driven by the principle that many people have voices, and ideally a government that works for a large sum of people. Two, an autocracy, driven by the principle that few people have voices. Autocracies, such as the 2024 Republican Party, often communicate via jackassdom, including blame, repression, and fear-mongering. In this episode, Julia and Jeremiah talk about common communication ploys from autocracy, and ways that progressives and other pro-democracy voters can avoid responding in ways that reinforce jackassdom. We talk about:- Strategies of Autocracy
- What is populism?
- Political Theatre, a Distraction
- Populism & Anti-Intellectualism
- Moralism v. Moral Critique
- How Social Media Limits Empathy
...more September 16, 2024How to Do Social Justice This Election Season Without Being a Jackass: An Introduction We are less than two months away from the 2024 Election. This Election season is a bit different, because rather than voting for separate political parties, we're voting for two systems: democracy and autocracy (specifically, a Christian Nationalist theocracy). Autocratic governments tend to rely on disinformation, propaganda, repression of voter rights, and fear-mongering in order to develop their power. The 2024 Republican Party is no different. A lot has been written about how the public can ethically respond, and quite frankly, there aren't a lot of great answers for the next 6 months, other than voting en masse. We know responses that make it worse. Name-calling and blaming, while potentially cathartic, only entrench the polarization. Communicating around social identity ("White people do ____." Women think ____.") reinforces the stereotypes that progressivism attempts to reject. From now until Election Day, we will be releasing a series called "How to Do Social Justice Without Being a Jackass." We'll talk with our guests about how to hold our anger and fear without responding in dehumanizing ways. In our introduction episode, we talk about:- What does Jackass-dom mean?
- Deconstruction as a Political Process
- Responding to Hate
- A Relational Health Approach
- Behavior v. Values
- Moral Superiority

The excitement of a new school year comes with new relationships, new beginnings, and setting goals. For many folks, especially those who grew up in conservative religious environments, setting goals can carry an enormous amount of anxiety with it. This week, Julia and Jeremiah explore what it might look like to engage with the back-to-school season without the pressure of setting goals. We discuss:- The pressure to be excited
- The anxiety of heaven being the ultimate goal
- The loss of play
- Setting new definitions on success
- Setting boundaries with the urgency desire
...more August 04, 2024Episode #76: Summer Series: Taking a Break from...Social Media Social media has the capacity to bring out the worst in us as communicators. Julia and Jeremiah talk about strategies for communicating as effectively as possible on social media, which can include taking a break from it altogether. We explore:- Real life examples of how to not conduct yourself on social media
- Virtue signaling and shame
- How to resolve conflict on social media effectively.
- The dangers of short form content.
- Building community, both virtually and in real life
...more July 15, 2024Episode #75: Summer Series...Taking a Break from the Performativity of Weddings. Our work as relationship therapists invites couples to consider the variety of ways that their relationship could look, based on the values, traits, and preferences of the people in that relationship. Plenty of couples choose monogamy because it best aligns with these characteristics. However, performative monogamy refers to cultural aspects that reinforce explicit and implicit expectations of sexual exclusivity. On that note, we're talking this week about the performativity of weddings. Evangelical weddings take this a step further as the marriage and wedding ceremony represent the socially sanctioned way for two people to become sexual persons. We're joined by our marketing and communications director, Maddie, for this episode. The three of us talk about:- Weddings as a status symbol
- The quirks of Evangelical wedding
- KitchenAid Mixers and other ways that society rewards those who get married
- Giving away the bride and patriarchy
- The cringey practices of weddings, like morning after breakfasts and garters.
- Surviving weddings
...more July 01, 2024Episode #74: Summer Series: Taking a Break from Sex One of the biggest myths about sexuality is that the more sex you're having, the better the relationship is. Perhaps that's true, perhaps that isn't. But the myths around quantity place extreme pressures to perform sex, and a lot of panic around seasons with a lower quantity of sex. This week, as we continue our summer series "Taking a Break From...", Julia and Jeremiah talk about:- Sexual sabbaticals
- The anxiety around sexual sabbaticals
- The pressures around sex in Evangelical contexts
- Transitions into sexuality, and ensuing pressures
- The decrease of sexual activity among gen-Z
- The ebbs and flows of sexuality throughout the course of a relationship
...more June 17, 2024Episode #73: Summer Series: Taking a Break From...the Extreme Demands of Parenting Happy first official week of summer! We recognize that for many folks, summer requires a reorganization of scheduling and routines for parents, who have three months in which they cannot rely on schools to partner with them in rearing their children. While some parents see these three months as exciting, others face these months with growing trepidation. This week, we're talking about how to create structures that can hopefully make parenting a little less overwhelming for the next few months. Julia and Jeremiah talk about:- Setting Realistic Expectations
- The Expectations of Parenting in Evangelical Communities
- Fear-Based and Performative Parenting
- Policing Parenting
- Letting Your Kids Be Bored
- How to Collaborate and Share the Responsibility with Your Co-Parent and Your Community
