The Unity Project

Hello friends! Today I have an episode that felt like a holiday to record. Truly. I had the honor of chatting with Sofia Lapuente and Jarrod Shusterman, NYT best selling YA romance/thriller authors. We got to talk about their writing process when it comes to character development, and how being connected to themselves plays a role in that. Sofia is from Spain and had so much to share regarding the differences in pressure on the bodies in Spain versus America. Jarrod talked about his experience growing up as a wrestler, and the pressures put on young bodies in that culture. 

I had so much fun interviewing them, and can't wait for you all to listen. Enjoy :)

Keep an eye out for their upcoming YA novel, RETRO, coming soon.

Today I had the honor of chatting with Sierra Holland, an apprentice midwife, full-spectrum doula, childbirth educator, and reproductive advocate. Sierra had so much important wisdom to share with us on how to support marginalized people in healthcare better. We talked a lot about the oppression of families made up of LGBTQIA+ and nonbinary individuals, black indigenous and people of color, and other marginalized groups. 

She also has a PhD in sociology, is a roller skater, and is one of the most interesting people I’ve talked to here. 

After talking with her, I feel like a changed human being and can’t wait to share this conversation. Enjoy!

Hello, my lovely friends! This week we're finally back with another episode of The Unity Project, and it's one I cannot wait for you to hear. I interviewed Julissa Llosa Vite, a ceramic artist, ceremonialist, and educator working in NYC. Julissa shares their experience immigrating from Peru to the US as a little girl, which is a story that I still think about. We talked a lot about what it's like being a woman in a patriarchal society, and how to find a way to express ourselves freely while still staying safe. I thought about this interview for weeks after we talked, and am so honored to get to share it with you. Enjoy!

Hello loves! This week I had such an incredible time getting to talk to Fallon Lapan, a body-centered psychotherapist (LICSW), and coach. Her work involves helping her clients with the development of deeper understanding and communication with themselves, moving through blockages, healing their relationships to trauma, and becoming more empowered, confident and alive. In our interview, Fallon shares her story with autoimmune disorders, learning to listen to her body guide her to what she needed, integrative medicine, cycle tracking, and so much more. Enjoy!

I was so happy to welcome my friend Coach Chris Rodriguez back onto the podcast for this week's episode. With him being back and getting more time to talk, I was able to ask him questions that had stuck with me that I didn't get to ask in the first interview. A lot of that was around the church and responding to how toxic religion and spirituality have caused a lot of division between ourselves and our bodies. 

If you enjoyed listening to us talk, check out Chris's new podcast Soulfully You to hear my interview over there next week. Enjoy!

Hello! This week I got to hear an incredibly inspiring story from my new friend Luke. Very curious about human existence, the topic of bodies brought up a lot of interesting conversation. Luke talks about being diagnosed with ADHD as a kid, being prescribed Ritalin in response, and what that did to his sense of self and identity. We talk surfing, meditation, yoga, and golden retrievers. Enjoy!

Hello, people of the world. We are back! Today on the podcast I got to talk to Mason Mennenga, an aspiring theologian, podcaster, YouTuber, etc, about embodiment and religion. Mason did an amazing job talking with me through the problematic views religion has had on our relationships with our bodies historically and presents his embodied theory of religion.
