Sun Happens

A former pastor turned cartoonist empowering and helping others to live out their own personal freedom and autonomy. David Hayward is the NakedPastor. After 30 years in the church, he left the ministry to pursue his passion for art. His work challenges the status quo, deconstructs dogma, and promotes critical thinking. Deconstruction is simply questioning everything: our assumptions, our opinions, our adopted and inherited beliefs. It's a never ending natural and healthy process that everybody should go through. Cheers to growth friends!

June 1st is world narcissistic abuse awareness day. In honor of that, we are airing this special episode with my friend Shelby Perkins. The Shelby I know from TikTok takes no shit and speaks her truth, no matter what. But it wasn't always like this. Shelby found herself in a narcissistic abusive relationship that left her feeling isolated, worthless, and silenced. Today, she tells us her story with authenticity and vulnerability for THE VERY FIRST TIME.  

TW: We share stories of domestic violence and physical abuse. If you or someone you know is being abused - help is available. The National Domestic Violence hotline is 800-799-7233 OR text START to 88788. 

Last, but not least, this episode is sponsored by Shelby's dogs. Turns out, her doggies were also not a big fan of her abuser. Please be patient with the doggies barking from time to time.

In honor of trauma awareness month, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Lead Grief and Trauma Coach with the Beyond Sober program, Samantha Deremer. Sammie has a passion for bringing light to trauma, changing the stigma, and reminding people that it's okay not to be okay. In this episode, we define trauma, discuss why it is so important to be processed, and even give a glimpse into the process of coaching someone with trauma (aka me LOL). Stay tuned for next weeks episode as we share audio of Samantha coaching one of her coaching clients! Cheers to growth, friends!

One year ago, TODAY, I released an episode titled "If I had one year to heal." I don't even recognize that version of me. When I re-listened to this episode, I heard a sad, lonely, tired human who was just surviving. Today, we come back full of life, energy, light, and love for my self and others. I give you a real time update on my life. I listed 10 things I would do if I had one year to heal ... let's see what I actually did during my healing journey from the last 365 days!

"Hi, I'm Abbie-Jean, and I'm still an alcoholic!"

Happy alcohol awareness month. We are ending the month of April with a special re-airing of Abbie Jean's episode about getting sober young with a special update from Abbie Jean herself. This was one of the most popular episodes of 2021. Abbie tells her story in such a relatable way. I was so excited to have been able to sit down with THE Abbie-Jean and hear about her relationship with alcohol and her sobriety journey. She wants people to know that it's okay to get sober young. It's okay to talk openly about your addiction. SO, if you're sober, sober-curious, or just want to laugh & be inspired at the same time, this episode is for you!

Clayton shares authentically and vulnerably about his journey with alcohol and sobriety. This episode is for anyone who may be struggling internally (especially as it relates to depression and coping with depression). Clayton knows what it's like to feel depressed, alone, and unworthy of love, so now, he makes it his mission to remind people daily that they are loved. The alcohol, after all, was just a product of some of his more deep rooted issues. Cheers to learning that we're all worthy of love. Remember, it starts with loving your self. Everything else flows from there.
