today we dive into the stream with my dear friend, Carly Stasko.

A sunny day calls for a sunny chat and a true appreciation for the life that the sun provides to all earthlings.

This was truly an effortless conversational exploration of our minds and mining of our experiences to create connection. if you are reading this to see what this episode is about, all I have for you is an affirmation that you have come to the right place. 

Thanks again to Carly for being a part of this episode. 

Carlyis a self-titled Imagitator (who agitates imagination) from Toronto, Canada. She is a creator, educator, healer and loving parent who left the city a year ago to live in the woods with her husband and young sons during the pandemic. She’s been written about and featured in documentaries for her culture jamming art and activism, worked as a freelance television and radio producer at the Canadian Broadcast Corporation, and spent the last decade as a mentor at the University of Toronto’s Integrated Learning and Community Engagement Program where she founded the Dream Job Academy and more recently trained and supported a team of student podcasters called the Storyweavers.

a truly wonderful and authentic episode today. Tessa and I had such a great time catching up in this one and I think you can tell. we talk sobriety, sexuality, letting art guide us in helping others, my move into Tessa's old house in Portland, crows, and we survived some technical difficulties too :)

Thanks to Tessa for joining the podcast today.

welcome to stream of consciousWes! 

I’m consciouwes and I’m happy to finally be speaking and living through my authentic voice.

im finally greenlighting all aspects of my creativity and recognizing how I can build systems in my life to help me reach my goals. 

what are your goals, Wes?

to create experiences for myself and others that help us become aware of unconscious patterns, connect to our unloved parts, and connect with one another authentically and vulnerably. 

and to find even better stuff along the way.

but we gotta be moving along in order to have a way along which things can be found.

eh?

eh?

yeah. I think that makes sense. thanks for reading.

there is a lot of old shit to acknowledge and consciously let go in order to move forward most clearly and confidently. we are all in the process of defining our dreams and either building ourselves up or tearing ourselves down. you are COMPLETE. just as you are.

what actually makes me feel good? video games or practicing guitar? short-term or long-term pleasure? investing time into something or wasting time on something? is it all just about my perspective? what if it's loving myself or demeaning myself? loving others or withholding love from others? we obviously all have our reasons for doing things, but are we actually thinking about them? does my reason for not doing something NEW stem from the fact that I am not really thinking about the stuff I’m doing NOW? 

welcome to episode 95 omg yay! so close to 100!
