If your brain feels like staying inside the box is a bit too snug, and coloring inside the lines is just a little too dull... you’re in the right place. Around here, we know that brilliant minds rarely play by the rules. We like to see what happens when you throw away the manual and just run wild being human. Misbehaving Minds is a long-form video podcast dedicated to celebrating self-love, resilience, and human connection through unrestrained, innovative thought. We’re ditching the default settings, embracing our inner divergent, and pulling up a chair with people who have turned their unconventional perspectives into their ultimate superpower. Buckle Up and Take the Leap: Think of this as your weekly invite to take chances, make brilliant mistakes, and get delightfully messy. Life doesn't move in a straight line, and neither do the best ideas. Whether you are navigating your own unexpected detours or unlearning the urge to fit into society's rigid molds, Misbehaving Minds is your sanctuary for unfiltered stories, candid humor, and deep human insight. Hosted by: Elliott Robert, a holistic speech-language pathologist, artist, and late-diagnosed neurodivergent thinker (ADHD & Dyslexia), the show explores how our brains work when we stop trying to fix them and start learning to understand them. Drawing from multimodal mindfulness and real-world experience, Elliott creates an open, cozy space for guests to drop their guard and share the raw truth of their journeys. Our 60-minute casual interview sessions feature conversations with thinkers, healers, creators, and advocates who embrace the beauty of non-linear living.

    A Communal Mind | How to Organize a Movement That Doesn't Eat Its Own with Madison Cartaya

    When global climate collapse and political unrest leaves you feeling like the only sane person in the room, it makes it dangerously easy to burn bridges with anyone who doesn't see the world your exact way. Yet, can you really expect to save the world entirely on your own? In this episode, we sit down with revolutionary organizer and conflict resolution expert, Madison Cartaya, for a raw, uncompromising conversation about the grit required to build non-hierarchical teams and why surviving the modern world demands deep connection. Instead of hiding behind digital outrage or cancel culture, Madison chooses to lean straight into the discomfort. She shares what it really looks like to sit across from someone who hurts your feelings, navigate genuine disagreement, and even the choice to claim your own space without throwing people away. If you’ve ever wondered how to fight for systemic change without losing your humanity along the way, this one is for you. In this episode, we unpack: How fighting for climate justice and political equity starts right in our backyardsThe hard truth about why cancel culture fails us and why real solidarity requires the grit to sit through painful disagreements and hurt feelingsHow to know when it is appropriate to walk away from a relationship to protect your peace without permanently closing the doorPractical tactics for listening, first to yourself and then to others, to build lasting movements capable of surviving the friction of collective life Connect Madison: @LaughingRaven Get Involved: Unity Collective, Naropa University, Joanna Macy, The Conflict Center, Rocky Mtn Peace & Justice Center, Sunrise Movement, Lakewood Left, A Communal Mind | The Radical Work of Connection with Madison Cartaya Support Independent Media & Join the Community Stories like this live outside the traditional algorithm, and keeping this space independent relies entirely on listener support.
