Basically, I'm the unfortunate front-row seat participant at a divine comedy special. Here's your all-access pass to the laughs at my expense. I'm navigating faith, unpacking trauma, and generally gawking at the randomness of life. Every now and again, you might leave with a useful tidbit for your own mental health journey as I put that trauma therapy training to good use.
Let's laugh at me together. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jesusisacomedian/support

14. Thank You for Being a Friend ...or Not.
The joys of friendship. Adding to an ongoing conversation about the breakdown of platonic relationships in favor of... literally anything else?! What's going on that we seem not to know how to have relationships outside of romantic ones? (And y'all aren't even having the most success with those). So what does it mean to be a good friend? I'm not sure I know, but I can tell you what will not cut it. Thank you for being a friend.. or not..
On another note, Thank you for being a friend of this podcast and tuning in every two weeks to hear me rant about the next thing.

12. Retrograde 2023, Part II: Beyonce, Sex[y] in the city & Facing Fears

Continuing the summer recap, we’ve been off to see Beyonce in Toronto at the Renaissance World Tour, single & mingling and facing fears about what’s next. Mingling has brought on some realizations about the state of affairs that require… introspection. And sometimes fear is information about things that we’ve kept buried.

10. Yep, That's Me! A Word on Authenticity
Everybody has a brand these days. By now, you should know I will say what's on my mind candidly. However, that's not everybody's cup of tea. People make a lot of negative assumptions about my character & personality based on the fact that I choose not to censor myself and my past experiences. However, I choose to believe that it says more about them than it does about me. In this episode, we discuss the choice to live authentically and transparently and the deep commitment beyond a fun way to live for views and clicks.

9. I'm A Big Deal: Loving Myself more Authentically
*Insert Christopher Martin lyrics* (IYKYK) - Sometimes it takes weird experiences with people to realize that you're someone worth making a fuss about. When we don't take time to really know our worth, other people can benefit from your self-love tank being on E. Radical self-acceptance and removing ourselves from environments that don't foster self-love are at the core of this pivot. Let's discuss.
