Welcome to Mad Practice, where we're shoring up our sanity skills for these crazy times. JD and Col, two unlikely, almost sane friends keep it less than real as they grapple with staying steady in a wobbly world.

    “Merry”, The Mad Practice Holiday Special

    JD & Col reunite to talk about the holidays! Well, reunite with you dear listener, they never really took any kind of break from each other. Before 2023 rolls through we wanted to say hello and dive into the joy and mess and pitfalls of the the holiday season, and our Mad ways through it all. But first, we have the most wonderful news to discuss, JD has a book that’ll be published soon! It’s called Mercy Gene, it’s stunning, and you can check it out here… https://gooselane.com/products/mercy-gene Then we talk through the holidays, and after attaching the emotion Merry we first dive into the prescriptive nature of the season (everyone MUST be merry), and where we’ve found our particular pressure points. We talk through families, gift giving, drinking and growth. We talk through both the joys of seeing people in person, and the comfort in *not seeing others, in opting out of obligations and taking care of ourselves. Mad Practice will return with a full slate of episodes in 2023, till then take care of yourselves and each other.

    Eco-Anxiety

    Today JD & Col dive into another light topic… Eco-Anxiety! Here’s the thing, the climate is changing in all the worst ways and that fact makes us feel… how? We’re anxious, we’re grieving, we’re guilty, we’re angry and doubtful, we’re in shock, we’re numb, and the list goes on. But what is the healthy response to these very real and valid emotions? JD has a few great ideas: Accept that this is real, increase our capacity for uncomfortable feelings, and toss ice cubes to the baby seagulls (literally and metaphorically). They talk through how to keep hope alive, how individual action is important,and  the anxiety of feeling like it’s too late. There are no easy answers, no answers at all in fact, but this conversation made us feel better and kinder, hope you hear that in this episode.

    Yearning, Diagnosis and Identity

    Today JD & Col have been Yearning to record an episode in-person, and they finally did! After sitting (literally) in the feeling of reconnecting physically they explore how yearning, an intense longing for something, relates to how we approach and experience diagnosis and self-identity as Mad folk. JD sums it up perfectly when they say “That when it comes to Mad Practice that yearning has been with me so long, the yearning to want to talk about and know mental illness differently.” They talk through what it feels like to “receive” a diagnosis of some mental illness, both the real validation and access to care it brings and the limitations of being put into the most suitable box. They talk through common ways into the mental health system, the often traumatic way in when in crisis and the privileged way in via family doctors, and how to empower ourselves and each other to navigate these systems. A frequent saying that JD and Col both use in their community organizing is to aim for everyone getting what they need and a fair bit of what they want. Dear listener, thank you for listening and we hope that as you feel your own Yearnings you likewise get what you need (and at least some of what you want).

    Worthiness

    Today JD & Col reunite to talk about Worthiness Are you feeling “good enough”? JD and Col ask each other and themselves this question. They share thoughts on shame ditches and imposter syndrome, before looking back and taking stock of the 1st season of Mad Practice. A quick digression on phrases we’ve scratched off the ol’ vocab list like Grandfathered in and Rule of Thumb (which we discovered may not actually have the harmful origins we talked about, but we’re still not using it) As always they refer to this beautiful list of 300 emotions by Prakhar Verma - Expand Your Emotional Vocabulary With This Dictionary Of Emotions As we keep on keeping on with this podcast we need your help connecting with more listeners, show us your support by listening, sharing, rating and subscribing.

    Happiness

    Today JD & Col are bursting with Happiness! Happiness, what’s there to say? It’s great, right? Turns out Yes, it is, and JD and Col explore their whys and hows they find happiness. After touching on ideas around shifting from exuberance to contentment, the impermanent happiness, and the dangers of toxic-positivity they play a game by sharing super-specific, happiness-adjacent emotions like… Duende: The mysterious power we feel when a work of art deeply moves us. And Kilig: The feelings of butterflies in your stomach, usually when something romantic or cute takes place. Or Nakhes: The pride or delight seen in your child’s accomplishments, no matter how insignificant; naches; k’velen (Hebrew). And they top it off by coining a few phrases themselves.
