    Big Feelings, Bold Truths: Disability, Art, and Self-Advocacy - Alie B Gorrie (arts educator, disability inclusion advocate)

    I’m joined by the incredible Alie B, a legally blind arts educator, disability advocate, and all-around powerhouse of empathy and expression. Alie B shares how discovering theatre and monologue work became her first form of self-advocacy. She opens up about living with low vision, navigating an eating disorder in her youth, and how she now supports others in recovery through creativity, compassion, and somatic work. We explore how disability is often unseen but deeply felt and how it’s the "only club any of us can join at any time." Alie B reminds us that disability doesn’t discriminate, and how those who live with it often have to work so hard to self-advocate for accommodation amidst their joy and connection. This conversation dives into:  ✨ The intersection of art and medicine  ✨ Why creative expression is a powerful path to healing  ✨ The emotional toll of being a high achiever and a big feeler  ✨ How creative practices help us rewire the nervous system Whether you have a disability, love someone who does, or just want to better understand how art, advocacy, and embodiment intersect, this episode will move you.

    Won't Remain Silent Anymore - Mike Gminski (Duke/NBA Athlete, Basketball Analyst)

    CW: substance abuse/addiction In this powerful episode, Juliet (a proud Duke fan!) sits down with former Duke basketball star and 14-season NBA veteran, Mike Gminski. Now a basketball analyst, Mike opens up about his most fulfilling role yet—navigating recovery and using his story to help others. Mike shares what it was like to be a young athlete in a hyper-competitive world where their "brains are wired to be the best." He candidly discusses his relationship with alcohol, which began at age 15, and the traumas that fueled his addiction. He reflects on the interventions attempted by former teammates and friends, as well as the pivotal moments that led him to seek change. With deep honesty, Mike reveals how "silence and isolation almost killed me" and why he’s now committed to speaking out. You'll hear about his friendships, gestures from Coach K, and a life-changing moment with his son that reshaped his journey. Throughout the conversation, Juliet highlights themes of shame, ego, gratitude, and growth—offering insights that resonate far beyond sports. This is a must-listen episode filled with raw honesty, resilience, and inspiration.

    Beyond Words / Bodywork For Healing - Laura Phoenix (somatic practitioner)

    Juliet chats with Laura Phoenix, a writer, healer, yoga teacher, and somatic experiencing practitioner who is queer, neurodivergent, and traumatized. Their life's work is guiding people in yoga and bodywork for trauma recovery.  Juliet & Laura discuss going beyond 'talk therapy' and learning to listen to our bodies that are always trying to tell us something. They connect over their shared humanity in "walking the walk" in their own mental health journeys. They dive into what somatic experiencing is and how it supplements talk therapy to help clients go deeper. It makes sense as we're WHOLE beings and can access "movement as a tool to broaden our awareness." There is lots to explore in the world of trauma and bodywork and Laura posits "isn't that where the medicine is?" regarding something specific in therapeutic work. Listen in to see if you agree!

    Problematic Sexual Behaviors - David Sanchez (Therapist)

    In this episode, Juliet talks with fellow therapist, David Sanchez. David specializes in working with clients with problematic sexual behaviors (porn, affairs/infidelity, compulsive sexual behaviors, etc.).  David educates listeners on what these behaviors actually are, removing stigma from it as his work is about understanding the person underneath the behavior: "It might be something you did, but not who you are." He also discusses the impact of these behaviors on partners and family members. We also discuss men's mental health, in particular, and the skills that they can learn to practice assertiveness, healthy coping, and boundaries. David shares a bit about his own mental health and relating to being the "nice guy" and honing these skills himself.

    My Child Is Trans, Now What? - Ben Greene (Public Speaker, LGBTQ+ Inclusion Consultant)

    CW: suicidality Ben Greene (he/him) is transgender man, author, advocate, & public speaker. He was in Charlotte to speak at the PFLAG Charlotte Pride & Purpose Gala, so he and Juliet got to record this episode live at Queen City Podcast Network!   Ben says he's in the business of "being the person I needed when I was younger." He shares his coming out story and his curiosity around what could've been different if he had access to different resources, support, and knew how to talk about it when he was quite young: "I didn't know I was a boy, I just knew I was bad at being a girl." He also goes on to discuss his medical transition. Ben shares about his own mental health while "locking my closet door from the inside" for so long. Finally, he shares how he didn't need his parents to be experts right away, he just needed them to say they loved him and that he was safe. He shares several practical tools and tips for allies.  Ben shares some really great metaphors about: what's expected from allies describing identities and understanding sexuality, gender, etc.Ben's passion is making all of this a joy-filled conversation. He says that conversations around trans youth begin and end around suicide statistics which is so important AND we can't just stay focused on what to avoid, but also what we stand to gain.
