- People’s Judgements And Ignorance About Public Behavior
There are different ways to express ourselves through our words, choices, or actions freely. One of the biggest platform to do that, especially with the current pandemic where we’re limited to go out in public, is through social media. Today, Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen take a look at public behavior and our judgments and ignorance about them, especially pertaining to being mindful about what and when we post online.

1 hr 3 min - From Uncertainty To Infinite Possibilities: On Feng Shui And Home Love With Dana Claudat
The importance of our own indoor space has become more felt in this time of isolation and social distancing. As we are thrust into our homes, we are all slowly coming to realize and take notice of the things we have been taking advantage of. Our rooms mirror how we are feeling, and if it is just as chaotic as the world outside, then it will only create more stress in this already uncertain time. Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen invite someone whose expertise is very timely in the current situation we are all facing now. They talk with Dana Claudat, a modern Feng Shui Master and founder of The School Of Intention Feng Shui Certification Program. Having pioneered her approach to Feng Shui that is rooted in infinite possibility, creativity, and empowerment, Dana guides us in this episode to re-engage with our environment and make sustainable changes that help us heal and love ourselves more. She helps us reframe uncertainty into infinite possibilities where we see the unpredictable future in a more hopeful light, letting go of the things we can’t control and focusing on what you can, starting with your home.

1 hr 24 min - Seeking Certainty From The Truth: A Critical View On Finding What Is Real
Humans, as we are, we crave certainty. So with the deluge of information bombarding us every waking moment, further compounded by many people passionately claiming they have the “truth” and making us question what is real, the very solid grounds we stand on gets shaken. The very thought of uncertainty makes many of us feel uncomfortable. Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen confront this very pressing topic that is becoming more relevant than ever. Is there such a thing as universal truth or reality? How do they differ from the subjective personal truth? Jason and Whitney explore these questions and the ways we can try to figure out the truth if there is one. Tapping into confirmation bias, they then talk about how our preconceived beliefs condition the notions that we already believe are true. While our nature asks us to cling on to certainty, it helps to be very critical of the things we are holding on as the truth, especially in times when the world is anything but certain. Allow Jason and Whitney to help you rethink these things in this interesting and eye-opening discussion.

1 hr 15 min - Understanding Toxic Masculinity
There is a lot of old conditioning around the concept of masculinity. We have this very deeply embedded belief system that centers around aggression, pride, stoicism, sexuality, and competitiveness – among other things – as masculine traits, and suggests that men should not show any emotion or vulnerability. With June being men’s health month, Jason Wrobel and Whitney Lauritsen take a closer look at the concept of toxic masculinity and how one can be free from its shackles. Tune in to this episode and start giving yourself the permission to explore life, get rid of the mask of manliness, and to tune into yourself in a deeper way.

1 hr 45 min - On Veganism And Cultural Appropriation: A Question Of Awareness, Sensitivity And Intent
We live in a globalized, multicultural society where there is a real possibility for something you say to hurt or offend someone of a different ethnicity or culture. Content-creators in all platforms are no strangers to being accused of cultural appropriation or being offensive or discriminatory towards people of other cultures. In a lot of cases, it is not even intentional but merely reflects a lack of awareness and sensitivity, which can be mitigated with conscientious effort. In this episode, Whitney Lauritsen unloads such a burden to her co-host, Jason Wrobel, as she shares an email conversation with someone who felt offended by some of the content in a book they released. Listen as they engage in an extremely uncomfortable conversation and come to important realizations about cultural appropriation, awareness and sensitivity, power dynamics, and receiving feedback.
