GUEST BIO:

Blake Blankenbecler, LPC is a psychodynamic therapist specializing in anxiety, trauma, and eating disorders. Having had successful practices in Los Angeles, Austin, and now Charleston, SC, she is well acquainted with the struggles of being human.

Out of her work emerged a desire to study some of the most foundational and pivotal relationships that hardly get anytime in the spotlight: our friendships. She believes that life is meant to be lived in connection and helps friends have more meaningful conversations and create more sustainable friendships. She is currently developing The Friendship Deck, a game for friends to play to become better friends and be a better friend that will be released in summer of 2022.

What’s up! this Ryan Thomas a.k.a. Ryan The Son and you’re listening to The Other Category Podcast powered by the Collide Network.

All my life I’ve lived between differing worldviews, cultural norms, geographical environments, genres and class systems on a road of experience and thought less traveled. For a long time, it felt this road was only traveled by me.

Then I bumped into some others who have traveled the same road from another vantage point. Some were social workers, some counselors, some medical professionals, athletes and more. Though our feets share the same  ground, our diverse experiences on this ground bred differing perspectives that I believe have the ability to embellish upon and strengthen one another.

This podcast is an opportunity to be a fly on the wall as this curious ex-jock turned, disaster relief worker, turned performing artist picks the brain of professionals from other industries on everyday topics that push and pull on the human experience. The hope that the knowledge gained helps embrace the intricacies of being different together as we thrive in the other category.
