The Pour Over Podcast Jonathan Coggins

In this episode we have a conversation with Cece Jones-Davis. Cece is a minister, artist, speaker and justice advocate and activist hailing from Halifax County Virginia. Cece gives us her experience and perspective of anti-black racism through a woman of colors lens. We then talk about the interconnectedness of justice and mental health and ways to seek flourishing for ourselves and our neighbors in doing that work in a world that can be so cruel and heavy.

In this episode we have a conversation with David Bedrick. David is a Jewish author, teacher, attorney and psychologist that focuses most of his work on what he calls unshaming and helping others see themselves more than through the lens of shame. In this episode David gives us a window into how his Jewish identity and experiences has shaped him and his worldview. We then discuss the current situation in Palestine and having a morally clear vision of what is happening, but a humanizing one at the same time. We then end on the idea of unshaming, what a lens of shame is and how to dismantle shame in our own lives and others.

CW/TW: mention of miscarriage loss in this episode.

Welcome to the first episode of 2024!
In this first episode of the new year we have a peer and friend of ours Serra Jane on to share her story. In the spirit of breaking down dualistic thinking and disrupting narratives we hear her story of growing up Christian and then eventually practicing Islam. Her own journey is a beautiful window into that world. We then get the honor of holding Serras story of dealing with loss through miscarriage and why sharing stories for collective healing and helping each other feel less alone is immensely important for our mental health and overall wellbeing.

In our last a final episode of the year we cover our favorite episodes and reflect on this years podcasting. A big thank you to everybody that leans in with us and listens to our voice. We are excited to bring more conversations and some progression to this podcast in 2024. We round out talking about the spirit of giving during Christmas, but specifically giving our voice and solidarity to Palestinian liberation this season. In such a tense topic we believe we must cut through the noise and stand with humanity, and so here that means speaking up for Palestinian dignity and liberation.

First off, so great to be back with you all sharing this collective online space!

In this episode your hosts (Kyle and Jonathan) are back to talk a bit about masculinity, binary thinking and suicide awareness, because these intersect more than you think! With so much going on in our world we talk about us being complex humans, which we have chatted about in previous episodes, being confronted with complex moments/histories and navigating that better than the dualistic and binary thinking that has become ingrained in the human psyche.
