The Millennial Crisis Demi Kotsoris

TW, in today’s episode we talk about sexual assault, rape of minors and other conversations around these topics, if you may be triggered or these conversations may not be something you are ready or able to listen to at the moment we advice you to skip this episode and listen to one of the other 80+ episodes of the podcast!
Today’s guest is Harrison James, he is a Survivor Advocate, founder of F**k Injustice & Consent Condoms as well as a Polished man Ambassador, he’s also just an all round legend of a guy! Although a lot of the conversation today is quite heavy conversations that you might be used to having or listening to, after talking with Harrison we can see how important it is to be more open about having conversations like this and more. Harrisons story and advocacy is so powerful, I hope after listening to this episode you will feel empowered to have more open conversations about your experience and some of the things we discussed today as well as just feeling strong in using your voice! Can’t wait for you to listen to this chat! Follow Harrison & support his work here: Instagram: @itsharrijamesAll the other links: https://linktr.ee/itsharrijames

Today's ep we dive into patriarchy, what it means to be a "man" and how patriarchal thinking can be damaging to both men and women. 


Pierre Fleury is a professional community educator by day, and by night his activism doesn't stop, he created content across social media channels to educate and address different systems of oppression in the aim to reduce violence on a societal scale. Doing the work Pierre does is not easy, he opens himself up to a lot of backlash online and we dive a little into his experience being an advocate, how he deals with others perspectives and opinions. This episode is perfect for anyone who might feel isolated in their experience advocating fo anything it can be super isolating if you don't find your people, it's also great for anybody who wants to learn more about what a patriarchal society means and how both men and women are affected by it. These issues are not individual and we are outcomes of broken systems. I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I enjoyed recording it.

This week's guest is Joe Santini. He is a writer, retreat host, milkshake enthusiast and someone I call a friend. In this episode you will hear how Joe has absolutely slayed his 20s and used them for exactly what they're meant for, EXPLORING, LEARNING, GROWING & F*CKING UP (whoops). Joe's outlook on life is amazing and I can't wait for you to gain all the inspo from Joe. In this episode we discuss his struggle with calling himself a writer, despite writing everyday for the past 10 years...His "unconventional" career path and current job that is hard to describe. His outlook on community and how he has seen people come together and what that can create in the right environment. Lowkey warning, this ep might make you want to quit your job and travel the world with a bunch of strangers. I dunno, could be a great idea?

Eloise is the co-founder of FIGR where they recognised that there was a veil of shame tainting the real purpose of lubricant: to make moments of intimacy more pleasurable. So during covid they decided to launch FIGR, a lube company for 21st-century peeps! 
In this episode, Eloise and I discuss not only her business journey but her personal journey growing up in a household where sex was prominent but still not discussed. As her father was the owner of Condom Kingdom (a sex shop in Australia). We discuss the lack of open conversations around sex, how it affects people, how it can cause harm and how it can make us feel as though we are the only ones who have no clue wtf is going on! Eloise is so open in this discussion and I'm so grateful to have had her on the pod, she's an absolute delight and you're going to love this chat! If you do this weeks challenge please be sure to let us know via IG or email @themillennialcrisis or hello@themillennialcrisis.com 
 
Challenge: Have a day with your phone on aeroplane mode, staying away from technology and just taking time to yourself, to be bored, to discover and to sit with yourself guilt-free. Connect with Eloise & learn about FIGR: FIGR websiteFIGR Instagram Eloise Instagram 

*Trigger warning in this episode we touch on domestic violence & suicide, if you feel you will be triggered by any of these conversations please skip this episode* This week's guest is Sa'ad Mustafā he is a Tiktoker, activist and social commentator. Sa'ad has made waves online with his social commentary, vulnerability and activism he has been shared and celebrated by celebrities including J-Lo & Justin Baldoni, and his videos have reached millions across the globe!  His virality isn't as impressive as his ability to share openly, to practice empathy and educate us through his commentary. In this episode, we talk about how he is content in his "imperfections", the mistakes he has made in his past and how he continues to learn and grow every day. We talk a lot about his journey growing up around DV, how he pulled himself out of rock bottom, his mental health journey and his relationship with his parents. I believe everybody can take something from this episode and Sa'ad's journey and feel super grateful that Sa'ad shared his story with us so intimately. Sa'ad is a genuinely imperfectly awesome guy, and I can't wait for you all to listen and take away a piece of Sa'ads story with you.  Challenge: Find 5 reasons of how you can forgive your parents or a guardian figure for something you feel they've done wrong by you. If you do this weeks challenge please let us know how you go with it and tag us in your stories or send us a DM if you do it we'd love to hear how you went :)
