    Unpacking Love, Spirituality & Purity Culture

    Hiatus nooor moooor!! “Why not start being who I want now?” – Bethany Cummins is back y’all! I am so very happy to have Beth back on the podcast to spill the tea on some of our all time favourite topics – LOVE, RELATIONSHIPS and RELIGION. I wanted to have this chat because the editing SWTS has made me realise, I say “love that” way too much but I am also just being honest...I really do love  a lot I can't help it! Beth, whom I suspect has a lot of Taurus in her birth chart is a lover of all things like me and has a knack for seeing the beauty and appreciating the small moments. I couldn’t think of a better co-host to bring the pod into 2024 for an episode very close to our hearts(literally). Think of this ep as  sneak peak into our minds and voice notes! One thing about Beth and me, we do love to  dissect and swap stories on how our thoughts on love and relationships were deeply affected by conservative religion and purity culture growing up. It's a complex and difficult intersection to talk about particularly when shame and guilt have been interwoven with such deeply ingrained beliefs. Which is why we are so proud to bring this convo to the mic and out into the world - to hopefully provoke thought and maybe give you insight into what it's like to have to deprogram your mind from harmful conditioning as it pertains to love and relationships. TEA SPILL: my review of Anyone But You : I loved it! Just not into that old trope about the thin line between love and hate, how being raised religiously affects your ability to express and receive love, cultural and familial expectations placed on young women to get married and how generations of forced marriage can manifest as repression and trauma, debunking the harmful conservative view that we as humans are not worthy of love and pleasure. Thank you for listening!  We love y’all so much Follow swtspodcast on instagram for all the BTS dets, otherwise Ciao for now & Catch you soon for another debrief!

    Telling my Truths

    At some point you have to just tell the truth so buckle up cos this one is deep and chaotic and real! Rather than keeping what’s been going on in my life and mind bottled up ,  I decided to express it all here SWTS debrief style and give you some insight into my current mental state and basically what the actual go is and why I am who I am. Until fairly recently, I never spoke about some of the biggest struggles I’ve been tasked with and still work on every single day. You will have to bear with me, it’s weird talking about something you never thought you would – especially out to the void! I address some of the things that impact my brain and body on a daily basis from mental health, post traumatic stress, racial microagressions and feeling like I belonged to nowhere. I answer the age old question that has plagued me (but no longer does!) Where are you from? ....It’s a long story so I made a podcast lol. TEASPILL: letting you in on my diagnoses because I know now they don’t define me and I actually love a lot about my brain, balancing joy and celebration while holding grief and suffering, my really honest opinions of growing up in Australia as a South African, Indian Australian and facing the things you’re avoiding in order to keep growing.  This ep was long overdue, I’ve been avoiding saying these things out loud – which wouldnt be right anymore,because it’s all true and it’s all me. Thank you for listening , Hope you go and express your mind to whoever will listen. Keep in con @swtspodcast on Instagram Peace out and catch you next week for more debriefs 😊 I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land throughout Australia and Meanjin, on which this podcast was created and recorded. I offer my deepest respects to Elders past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all First Nations people.

    Storytime

    Sooo what's the sitch with medical anxiety? “Everyone is walking a path you don’t know anything about or carrying things that you don’t see” In this ep I tell 3 stories from my life about fear as a tool, lasting words and medical anxiety: 1. Appendix, Ruptured 2. Miss Stupid saved a life 3. An Unprofessional Patient Join me as I let you in on my experience behind the closed doors of medical procedures and consultations to bring to light something that absolutely makes my blood boil - when trusted professionals use their power to make patients feel small. Thanks to my experience with the medical industry as a child and then later as a Pharmacist, I literally can’t stand when professionals in the medical field abuse their position, practise from ego and weaponise fear as a tool. I hope this episode helps you to feel empowered to speak up for yourself in any situation and particularly when it comes to your own mind,body, health and life. Doctors, Pharmacists, Dentists, Ultrasound Technicians  - whoever it may be... no one has the power to govern your decisions besides you. TEASPILL: all about different types of medical anxiety, a few of the wild things doctors/trusted professionals have said to me as a child,patient and pharmacist, how racial prejudice, judgment and power-play has affected me while trying to get my health under control. Thank you for helping me get this off my chest! Keep in con @swtspodcast on Instagram for more BTS and whatever comes up! Peace out, look after yourself and see you next week for another debrief😊
