  • "This Is My World, This Is What I Was Patiently Waiting For" with Louise Gavin

    This week's podcast episode explores the experiences of Louise Gavin who is part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community in Vancouver, specifically Vancouver Queer Irish (VQI). In the podcast, she talks about her experience of finding acceptance in herself when she found herself moving to another country.

    For many LGBTQIA2S+ individuals, finding acceptance in a community can be a challenging and sometimes painful experience. It's not uncommon for LGBTQIA2S+ individuals to face discrimination, rejection, and even violence because of their identity. However, it's important to remember that every person has the right to be accepted for who they are. It's not up to others to decide who is or isn't part of a community based on their identity. Every person deserves to be recognized and respected for their authentic self.

    One way to find acceptance in a community is to seek out spaces that prioritize inclusivity and celebrate diversity. Finding a community that values and respects your identity and experiences is important, and that is what Louise and the VQI are doing in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
    Another way to find acceptance is to connect with allies who can provide support and advocate for LGBTQIA2S+ rights and inclusion. Allies can also help educate others on the importance of acceptance and create more inclusive spaces within their own communities. Waking Up from Breaking Up is proud to be an ally of the LGBTQIA2S+ Community.

    For those who are struggling to find acceptance, it's important to remember that you are not alone. Many resources and support systems are available to help you navigate your identity and find acceptance in a community. Being accepted for who you truly are is a fundamental human right. As a society, we must strive to create more inclusive spaces and advocate for LGBTQIA2S+ rights and acceptance.

  • Waking Up from Breaking Up with Yra Jai

    This is the last episode for Season 1 of Waking Up from Breaking Up (WUBU)!

    The final episode reflects 20 years ago when the journey of Waking Up from Breaking Up originated. This process of self-growth and the inspiration for this podcast came from the lessons learned in my past relationship and the journey that happened to both my ex-fiance, Jaxon, and myself after our breakup.

    Sometimes relationships hold us back without actually knowing it. This episode shares Jaxon's growth story in his career after our breakup. Our relationship was our comfort zone and safety blanket and once it ended, it gave us both an opportunity to change and progress in ourselves, especially Jaxon's career. It's not common, but our goal was to remain, friends, after we had broken up. We did the best we could, and at least we attempted.

  • Men Being Vulnerable is NOT Weakness, it CAN Save Their Lives with Keenan Anthony

    Let’s rewrite the definition of masculinity, by continuing the conversations on gender expectations and ideals in our society, while raising awareness for men’s mental health. This world would be a much better place if everyone was encouraged and comfortable in discussing their mental struggles.

    Keenan shares his stories and his mental health struggles and how he found ways to pick himself, from joining a men's group and discussing their fears, to doing nice things for others, and changing the way he spoke to others and more importantly, himself. Life is not easy and there are a lot of hardships. It’s not a weakness to ask for help from friends, family members, or professionals. Especially those who are experts in mental health services.
