The Mindful Narcissist episodes

  • 55: We're All Just Skin Sacks: an unpasteurised raw USDA grass fed free range podcast (ft. Kayti)
    Last summer I got a Korean vagacial on accident, told the story on Instagram, asked if I should make it into a podcast episode, had Kayti volunteer to talk about nudity for said episode, and subsequently put off recording it for over a year and editing and posting it for even longer, BUT IT'S FINALLY HERE. We re-live the steamed vag experience, have an HPV PSA moment, compare the Korean spa experience in Korea with the experience in the states (King Spa and Sauna please sponsor us), discuss our experiences of different cultural attitudes towards communal nudity, how different attitudes around bodies are in western spas in our experience, and propose increased communal nudity as a solution for various societal ailments.

  • 54: Part 2 - In Which a Korean Youtuber Made Fools of Us (ft. my brother)

    We recorded an episode, I had my brother make his final statement, intending that to be the end of it, and then we just kept talking. This is 50% me being roasted by my brother and 50% him suddenly remembering all the details about our trip he couldn’t remember in part one.

  • 53: Part 1 - The Train to Busan & a Love Motel (ft. my brother)
    Over the summer, my 18-year-old brother and I spent 3 weeks together in South Korea, and obviously we had to unpack that on the podcast. We go over childhood memories, why we chose to go to Korea, the experience of travelling together when we haven’t really spent much time together in nearly 8 years, the appeal of K-pop, Korean vs. American celebrities, renting friends in Korea, why I am a walking travel disaster, and loads more.

  • 52: Part 2 - In Björk's Name, Amen (ft. Ashley Rose)

    This is part two chatting with one of my long-time best friends & amazing singer songwriter Ashley Rose. We talk about her experience seeing Björk live (aka meeting god), expanded definitions of church and worship, whether the power of seeing a work of art or performance in person comes from the presence of the work/artist or from the environment it’s in, collective energy and the dancing plague of 1518 (disclaimer around the time we were talking about that I really poorly tried to explain the “neurological phenomenon” of brain activity syncing up but really what I was trying to talk about was mirror neurons and that is not at all an accurate description of how mirror neurons function my bad), go back into our previous concept album chat, discuss singer songwriters and take a bit of a deep dive into the way Tori Amos writes, chat about how helping one connect with oneself is a sacred function of art, and more.

  • 51: Part 1 - Christmas in July (ft. Ashley Rose)

    This one's a chat with one of my long-time best friends & amazing singer songwriter Ashley Rose. We cover Ashley’s extensive CD collection, physical vs. digital media intake (in terms of music and books), the evolution of the concept album, Shakespeare, the Ford Thunderbird, our mutual love of antiquing and old postcards, and more - and have an ASMR-esque Christmas-present-opening interlude because we actually recorded this a million years ago when I was home for the holidays!

  • 50: Pretty Privilege Pt. 2 - Is it a Thing??? (ft. Georgia Beatty)

    Georgia’s back!!! We’re rehashing the ideas presented in one of my most played episodes, “Pretty Privilege”, this time asking - is “pretty privilege” actually a thing? What about it is a privilege anyway?

  • 49: Norse to the Future (ft. Bip Henderson)

    Today we’re chatting with Bip Henderson, author of Norse to the Future! I came away from this one with an excellent list of book recommendations, so I’m quite pleased. We talk Flann O’Brien, the kind of absurdist humour that Ireland breeds, folk songs/ballads as a method of storytelling, quality vs. quantity and media consumption, renting movies in the olden days (RIP Blockbuster), why I should give Charles Bukowski and Confederacy of Dunces another chance, writing fiction and building characters, all the forms artistic research can take, and much more!

    Norse to the Future is available for purchase at Moycullen Bookshop, Charlie Byrne’s Bookshop, Bell, Book, and Candle, Bookstop in Ennis, Man of Aran Cafe on Inis Mór, An Ceard Siopa on Inis Oírr, & on Amazon

  • 47: Do You Want to Build a Commune?

    I finally figured out why I’ve felt so creatively blocked the last few weeks. It always comes back to money - the construct you just can’t kick. This one’s a chat about the frustrations of the back and forth between a desire for fulfilling work and long-term financial security and how often these two things feel mutually exclusive - and an open invite to join me in leaving society behind to live in community and barter and trade and never worry about having to work for a living again.

  • 46: Queering Spirituality (ft. Emma Ramirez)

    This episode contains a small fan club meeting for Emma’s mom, and we discuss how Emma ended up in divinity school at a Presbyterian seminary (a thing that usually does not happen to people who identify as Mormon), the way that Mormonism, like any religion, doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing, what the “cafeteria approach” to the church can look like, the sacredness of bringing together seemingly disparate ways of making meaning, what it means to be queer and to queer religion/spirituality/Mormonism specifically, the need to take spiritual needs as seriously as physical or emotional needs, and more.
