    4. Roaming in the Mud with Blake Carroll

    For this episode, I invited one of my best friends, Blake Carroll, to talk about any and all things we felt like exploring. We covered a lot of ground - changing paths and making new beginnings, letting things be, imagining new possibilities... Enjoy, and let me know what rabbit holes you'd like us to go down for part two. p.s. This podcast does not have a sponor. If you see one, they're fraudulent. Resources mentioned in this episode:  Poet David Whyte. Highly recommend this unedited interview David did with On Being podcast. Children’s book: Patchwork by Corinna Luyken Martha Beck Gathering Pod Quote by Henry David Thoreau,  “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things…” ― Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience and Other Essays Untethered Soul by Michael Singer. You can find both the book and the course mentioned in the podcast on this site  Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak. If you can, buy from your local indie bookstores.

    3. Simple, Innocent, Unreasonable Wishes

    We're Back :) What are your simple, innocent, and unreasonable wishes? Santiago by David Whyte - Not mentioned in the episode itself, but this poem is a gem and quite relevant... "you were more marvelous in your  simple wish to find a way than the gilded roofs of any destination you could reach" Opening and closing music by Magnetic Trailer from Pixabay Podcast cover design by El Chen More about El: elchen.net, IG @ hope.elchen

    2. Messages in a Bottle

    As I set sail on this podcast journey while closing the chapter of 2022, I want to put two messages in this podcast bottle and sending it out into the unknown sea: to be in it - whatever it is - for the experience; and to "repeatedly let go of the rest." Wishing you a year filled with what matters most.

    1. Navigate Relationships, Learning, and Labels with Tim Steckler

    *Apologies for the breathy intro & outro. Lesson learned to not hold mic too close 😊 “We obsess over being right that we forget how to learn.”  — Tim Steckler Welcome to Outrageously Human. A podcast hosted by me, El Chen, and with people whom I find outrageously human. My guest for this inaugural episode is Tim Steckler (@timsteckler on Instagram). Tim is the person without whom this podcast wouldn’t exist. An applied theatre facilitator and educator, Tim “works across the world to bridge cultural divides, promote civic engagement, and explore issues facing communities in innovative ways.” (timsteckler.com) Tim and his sister, Abigail, co-host the 2033 podcast, in which you’ll find my first recorded conversation with Tim and Abigail. Through Tim, I got to sit and share food, theatre, music, and dialogue with an ensemble made up of New York City civilian residents and NYPD officers once a week for 10 weeks. That experience blew me away. It showed me possibility of communication and real understanding – by being outrageously human - that I had previously deemed impossible.  In this conversation, Tim and I dig into how we see labels, how we learn, relationships, grief and much more. The last 30 minutes of the episode – packed to the brim with gems - is deliberately left unedited. A main theme I want to convey through this podcast is the murkiness that often comes with exploring new territories. It is important for me to leave in vocal ticks, stretched out pauses, and hesitations that can be easily deemed as inconvenient and yet was a big part of the process of getting to somewhere worth going, somewhere unincumbered by known patterns. This podcast is not as much about where we get to or what might we find as it is about the chances we take, the risk we take on, and the process we choose to live.  Enjoy!
