We Cookin’ With Chris Thurton & Friends episodes

  • recognize project

    I can’t think of many things more beautiful than when a person has recognized a deep truth about who they are. I also believe that when one encounters someone, or even the works of someone, who has embraced a deep truth about who they are it has potential to be a catalytic and even healing moment or interaction. 


    Throughout this episode we will hear clips from a two conversations that I had with my friends Isaac and Anjali. Throughout the episode there will be breaks for us to interact with some reflection questions. The hope being that we would get an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and we listen to some of my friends reflect on what they are learning about themselves.

  • A conversation about Mental Health W/ DJ Williams
    In this Episode, I have a conversation with my friend DJ about Mental Health. Me and DJ are not Mental Health professionals, we just have had many conversations over the years about Mental Health and it's played a big role in our friendship. Our hope is that the conversation that we have can lead to more conversations for others around Mental Health, hopefully breaking the stigma and taboo that can surround those conversations. 
    I do want to give a TRIGGER WARNING at the 26 minute mark DJ brings up an interaction with Sexual Assault. We do not go into explicit details, but we do know that this could bring up some unwanted trauma for some. If you have encountered any type of sexual assault or sexual abuse and haven't had the space to talk about it we want to encourage you to call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673 and I want to encourage you to please seek out professional help if you have any type of trauma in your life, I believe that no one should have to navigate through trauma on their own.

  • Monuments & Milestones

    Chris Thurton reflects on the idea of restructuring our relationship with National Holiday's and Monuments. Posing the question, if we looked at monuments as milestones maybe as a society we could find it easier to tear down or disestablish the broken & no longer relevant ones?
