    Shane's Shorts - Toning It Down

    My entire life I experienced moments where others were trying to get me to "tone it down" in one way or another. Sometimes, it's a look. Others, there were comments like "you talk to much" or "can we take it down to a 7?". For much of my life, it would really affect me. I'd be embarrassed. And since I was such a people pleaser who HATED conflict, I'd often try to change my behaviors. But then it dawned on me...I was just being ME! Authentically ME! I also realized that in many of those scenarios, it wasn't about ME at all. It was the person who made the comment or gave the look that had an issue. Perhaps THEY felt what I was doing or saying was inappropriate...based on THEIR views, beliefs, upbringing, or insecurities. In some cases, it may have even been that they were envious because I was doing something they felt THEY couldn't or were NOT ALLOWED to do. Either way...I'm gonna pass on "toning it down"! I'm going to continue to be my loud, outspoken, curious, ADHD, silly, childlike, self with my dark/twisted/inappropriate (at times) sense of humor. I am FULLY aware I am not everyone's cup of tea. And I'm ok with that. Thank you, as always, for your support. Be yourselves, and have a great day everyone! #authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #immabeme #loud #outspoken #adhd #childlike #humor #curious #toneitdown

    Being YOU! Season 4, Episode 4: Martha Wash

    In this episode, I get the opportunity to chat with two-time Grammy nominee, Martha Wash. We discussed her decades-long career as a vocalist, actress, philanthropist, and advocate of the LGBTQ+ community. She shared stories about working with Sylvester, her duo "Two Tons of Fun" which was later changed to "The Weather Girls", her multiple albums, her record label, and her advocacy work. We had a fun and relaxing conversation which allowed me to get to know a bit more about this legendary singer! At 72 years young, she is still going strong! Thank you Ms. Wash for joining me this season. I had a great time sharing and laughing with you. #authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #marthawash #singer #weathergirls #twotonsoffun #purpleroserecords #sylvester #itsrainingmen #grammys #lgbtq #advocacy

    Shane's Shorts - Autism Acceptance Month

    In this video I talk about Autism Acceptance Month and various symptoms and criteria of Autism Spectrum Disorder. A lot of assumptions are made about individuals on the Autism spectrum. And there are a lot of misconceptions. The goal of Autism Acceptance Month is to expand the understanding, awareness, and acceptance of those with Autism. I challenge you to further educate yourself about it in an effort to minimize any misconceptions and/or a lack of understanding you may have. Thanks for watching! Be yourselves! #authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #mentalhealth #autismsociety

    Shane's Shorts - Music

    In this video I talk about music and the ways in which it can affect a person. I've always loved music and realized from a young age how impactful it can be. Whether it's a song from your favorite movie, a commercial jingle living rent-free in your head, or a song that reminds you of someone special...music can completely change your mood. So blast your favorite song, get up and dance, sing in your car, and/or reminisce about whatever the music reminds you of. #authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #music #song #dance

    Being YOU! Season 4, Episode 3: Stan Bush

    This is the third episode of Season 4. I had a great conversation with 80s rock sensation, Stan Bush. His music, which spans SIX DECADES, has been featured in several movies, A video game, an animated series, a soap opera, AND the Olympics. It's also won him an Emmy Award. With thirteen solo albums and nearly twenty singles as a solo artist, it's obvious he keeps himself busy. During our time together, we discussed his decades-long, ongoing career in the music industry. He shared personal stories, talked about family and spirituality, and shared what it's been like being closely associated with the Transformers movie franchise over the past five decades.  THANK YOU Stan for joining the show and sharing your life with us! It was great meeting you and I look forward to what comes next for you. This Season's Authenticity Ambassador is the Transgender Center of the Rockies.

    Shane's Shorts - Coming Out

    In this video I touch on various aspects of coming out...including the privilege of NOT having to do so! I knew I was gay at 10 years old. But I didn't come out until I was 23! Prior to that, I didn't feel I COULD come out! And my coming out process lasted 2-3 years. As a therapist, I've had many discussions with clients about their own coming out experiences. It's sad to me that it's something people still have to go through. I'm hoping this video brings some things into perspective and challenges people to think about what people go through as part of their coming out experience. #authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #comingout #lgbtq #queer #fear #rejection #youarenotalone

    Shane's Shorts - It's OK to NOT be OK

    I wanted to be vulnerable and honest and let others know that it's ok to not be ok. I learned from a very young age how to play the part of the happy, outgoing, funny guy who's always laughing and in a good mood. But the truth of the matter is, I've struggled quite a bit the past year and a half, despite what my socials or outward demeaner may indicate. So, I wanted to put this out there to let anyone who is struggling know they are not alone! Life can be hard and overwhelming and sometimes just downright s****y! Please do whatever you can to take care of yourselves. Lean on a friend, seek out a therapist, take a trip, take a nap...whatever it is that works for you. Be yourselves and have the best day you can! #authenticity #itstimetobeyou #sphproductions #notokay #struggle #lifeishard #notalone #mentalhealth #overwhelmed #selfcare
