Because I Said So

In our everyday lives, we are constantly making judgements and forming opinions on other people based on age. In this podcast, we unpack the roots of these ideas through intergenerational conversation and discussion, diving deep into personal experiences, and becoming comfortable with vulnerability. Run by a teen, we hope to help provide young adults with a safe and conducive outlet to truly discuss their beliefs, while also offering a safe space for adults to do the same—the issue goes both ways.

    Because I Said So--S3E16: Christmas in the Psych Ward

    The very first episode of this podcast featured a conversation between my mom and I about the nuanced relationship between parents and children when it comes to mental health. Over two years later, we decided to have another conversation and reflect on what has changed. We spent a lot of the episode looking back at this time last year, when I was in the hospital to receive mental health treatment in the midst of a time when everything seemed to be going right in my life. During that season and since, we have both seen firsthand the lack of infrastructure we have to take care of our mental health epidemic, and we spoke about how difficult it can be for a parent to watch their child leave home for college after such a fragile period. This episode was very vulnerable, and I hope you all listen with grace. Sending love as always.

    Because I Said So--S3E15: Implicit Racism and ”The Book of Mormon”

    In this episode, Allie and I are back to discuss the Broadway play “The Book of Mormon” and the boundaries it crosses with satire, specifically related to race. We analyze the play as a vehicle for validation of implicit biases and caricatures, and we also touch on ways the play has been received parallel to certain comedy specials where “comedic value” can serve as a protection against the critical lens. We hope you enjoy!

    Because I Said So-- S3E14: The Romanticization of Jeffrey Dahmer and Trauma Porn

    In this episode, Allie and I are back again to discuss Netflix’s new Jeffrey Dahmer series and the broader conversation around romanticization and humanization of serial killers. Later in the podcast we also dive deeper into why we have an inclination towards graphic images and ”True Crime,” and when the tendency to seek graphic images or stories is ethical, if ever.

    Because I Said So--S3E13: The Female Image

    In this episode, my very favorite person Allie Maher and I discuss the feminine image. Is the new wave sexual liberation truly liberation, or just rebranded misogyny and objectification? How are Girlboss feminism and Bimbo feminism related? Is Brandy Melville an undercover MLM (joking, but...)? Why are ED’s culturally accepted forms of self harm? We talk about these questions and more, and also offer some cheeky banter too:) Hope you guys enjoy!

    Because I Said So--S3E12: Rainbow Is Shining A Light

    Rainbow Mosho is a name you need to know. Someone who is an artist, entrepreneur, autism-advocate, NFT creator, and more...at age 14. In this episode, we explore her and her mom’s journey moving to America to search for effective care, trying to work through a school system that often doesn’t advocate for children with disabilities, using art as a way to overcome challenges, how creativity helped her regain speech abilities, diving into NFT’s, opportunities, and future goals. Hearing Rainbow’s insightful comments on the nature of healing trauma and connecting with others is touching, and she is truly one of the strongest and smartest voices I have heard. This episode is so very powerful, and I am excited for you all to hear it.

    Because I Said So--S3E11: It’s Your Parents Fault

    Do you find yourself not really wanting to get into a relationship because you’re too independent? Or maybe constantly worrying if your friends or your partner will begin to resent you or be upset with you? In this episode we are talking about ATTACHMENT STYLES! How they form in early childhood, the science behind them, how to tell them apart, and ways to try to grow closer to the coveted ~secure attachment style~. I loved learning about this and am so very excited for you all to hear it!
