Small Town, Big Personalities

EMILY HAS FINALLY FOUND SOME UPSTATE LESBIANS! 

In this episode, Emily links up with two lesbian identifying new friends who quite literally might be her only shot at queer community. Listen in as they discuss how being different in a small homophobic town can shape one's self worth and mental health, and demystify the misconception that opportunities for queers can only be found in thriving urban areas like New York City. 

Warning: explicit content is referenced. 

Ever heard about Pink Capitalism? It defines how the queer community contributes to the economy in how they spend, how they work, and how they invest their money. But even after contributing over $1.7 trillion to economy, why has LGBTQ+ been dismissed by wall street? 

Tune in to episode 5 to hear how different identity and circumstance within the queer community can influence someone's financial journey...and discuss how mobilizing and supporting LGBTQ+ can be a game changer to economy productivity.

Only in the eclectic urban jungle Brooklyn, New York could you find a mansion filled with a polycule of queer vegan white collar software engineers and political anarchists dedicated to tearing down capitalism and social injustice in the most combative of ways. 

This mythical place was called Queertopia, where I lived a good portion of my quarantine. It was the first destination on my road to re-defining purpose, and inspired me to mold wall street in a way that empowered my LGBTQ+ community. 

But this positive reclaiming of my life purpose came at a high cost of soured friendships, falling out of love, and a tragic loss of life.

There is an old stereotype that all lesbians hate men...and vice versa. This episode tests the truth to that statement, as Emily reconnects with an old childhood friend -- and unpacks why she is so triggered by his "frat boy, tech sales, white, cis, hetero bro-ish" ways. 

Together, they figure out what habits they want to leave behind when interacting with the opposite sex. 

Warning: This episode discusses sensitive subject matter on drug addiction, sexual assault, and a whole lotta swearing.

This episode is all about neuroplasticity and how to change your brain by creating new thought patterns and emotionally healing our bodies! 

I explain how I fell in love with Neuroscientist Dr. Joe Dispenza and his show called Rewired, which explains how our human potential can be unlocked through deep self reflection, desired change, and the willingness to dive into our fears and enter a state of creation, instead of survival...with the hopes of becoming true Impactors.   

This is episode 2 of the Small Town, Big Personalities Mini-Series, where I discuss my experience moving back to my small conservative home town in upstate New York, and the surprising life lessons learned about self-awareness, purpose, and the bold moves it takes to make true impact in this world as LGBTQ leaders.
