Slightly Shook

On this episode of Slightly Shook, I am joined with Burton Chatelain–a friend, filmmaker, editor and documentary producer. We’re getting into a LONG story time because we both have ADHD let’s be for real. We’re yapping about mental health, meds, making friends, heartbreaks and all the unhinged stories from moving to LA to the entertainment industry. Can you tell our brains are rotting?! Just kidding.

Love you and thanks for listening girly pop! As always you can ask me questions on my DMs or email us ([email protected]).

In this episode of Slightly Shook, we’re joined with special guest Symphony! She’s an actress, producer, and creative. I’ve known her since we interned at the Academy together in the summer of 2018. Since the both of us got laid off of our corporate jobs, we came together to discuss us finding our inner creatives OUTSIDE of the conforms of the traditional media/entertainment space.

Bestie I hope you’re ready to be shook because there’s tea in this episode along with some stories from our personal lives. I hope this episode brings you some joy if you’re either unemployed, just got laid off, or want to venture into creating content. YOU GOT ANYTHING YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO!

Hey Besties! On this episode of Slightly Shook, we’re talking about Friendship Break-Ups, why they’re so hard and ways that I’ve navigated some of the friendship breakups I’ve had in my life. Sometimes, friendship break-ups hurt more than relationships because some friendships may have a long-term bond that contains a lot of nostalgic memories, your emotional-support system, yapping sessions, shared happy/bad times, etc–the place you go when you have partner struggles, want to vent, laugh, cry, and you get the gist. 

I hope you enjoy this episode and as I said in the episode but will say again… Do NOT allow anyone to make you feel unwanted, unloved, worthless more than once. Sometimes people mess up, you forgive but after a certain point girly pop YOU need to let that friend go. 

Thanks for listening bestie, and as always, you can ask me questions on my instagram @deanwlin or @slightlyshook. You can also email me at: [email protected]

In this episode of Slightly Shook, I am joined with a special guest, my realtor who helped me purchase my townhouse... Jarrett! He's been a realtor for 19 years and today we're yapping about los angeles real estate, catching up, and sharing advice about renting vs. buying...

Besties, on this episode of Slightly Shook, a very special guest is joining us – my older sister Cindy! We are diving into nostalgic memories, from our childhood  and family traditions to the deep bond that has kept us close. Cindy talks about her career in corporate/tech, her passion for photography, and the resilience that has shaped her journey. Most importantly, we get open and honest about stories I’ve never shared before. We share laughs, heartfelt moments, and the realities of growing up in an immigrant family, me going to rehab, and how we got to where we are mentally.

This episode is filled with laughter, heartfelt moments, and honest conversations about the importance of siblings, even if we annoy each other almost 24/7… haha.

Thank you so much for listening bestie! Hope you enjoyed this episode and let me know if you want to hear more from my sister… we’ll definitely have her on again.

On this Episode of Slightly Shook, Dean & Nickko are SHAKING because they’re joined with special guest Aurora Matrix!

Aurora Matrix was born and raised in Toronto. Since starting drag in 2019, Aurora is known for their high-energy dance numbers and striking makeup, becoming the Aries Fire of the Toronto drag scene and a staple performer in the community. Aurora competed on Season 4 of Canada’s Drag Race, ultimately placing as the first runner-up. Since then, they have been gracing stages coast to coast across Canada, and even internationally in the US and the UK.

Aurora’s drag is heavily influenced by their Chinese culture, drawing inspiration from their own experiences as a Chinese-Canadian. They strive to be a role model for queer Asian youth and to share their stories about growing up queer in a traditional and religious Chinese household. Buckle up and set the temperature to “Asian Hot” because Aurora Matrix is always ready to take you into the Matrix.

We hope this episode was fun, insightful, and left you GAGGED!! Thanks for listening bestie–let us know who we should have on next…
