Magic with Joe Diamond

Happy Halloween! For tonight's creepy episode, I interview Joe Diamond (what a name!) who is a mentalist and magician. He's had a storied career and life growing up in a conservative town while pursuing his dreams of becoming a magician. We talk about his time on Penn and Teller's Fool Us, delve into philosophy, and even do a few magic tricks. https://www.joediamondlive.com/ https://www.instagram.com/joediamondlive/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kql5oar-UIE&t=2s

After Sobriety with Rebekah

Here on the peripheral, we talked a lot about drinking and alcoholism. Something we've never discussed is what happens once you stop drinking. What is it like to live a sober lifestyle? How does the rest of the world treat somebody who chooses not to consume alcohol? You might not realize how intertwined drinking is in our culture and society. In everything we do, alcohol is available. In any event or situation, even at church, alcohol will be provided. It's accessible anywhere, and even when there's a global pandemic, liquor stores are considered vital or essential. I stopped drinking several years ago, and at every event I attend or outing I go on, I face peer pressure, shaming, and even ridicule for not drinking. Today, I speak with Rebekah, who recently celebrated her seventh year of sobriety. I decided to have a conversation with her and ask about her experiences after choosing to give up alcohol. Check out Rebekah's new podcast! https://www.tyfyipod.com/ https://www.instagram.com/hi_itsrebekah/

ADHD with Andrew

I have ADHD. Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. I've had it all my life but was only diagnosed a few years ago. I was told I had anxiety and depression for many years which I'm sure my ADHD presented as but ultimately the root cause for my issues had always been ADHD. ADHD has dozens of traits or symptoms associated with it and with the advent of the smart phones and social media, lot of people are self diagnosing but there are differences between being addicted to your phone and actually having the disorder. To get a better understanding of ADHD I speak with Andrew who is a licensed therapist, Husband, father and "Neurospicy." https://linktr.ee/neurospicycounseling https://www.instagram.com/neurospicycounseling/

87: Why Don’t They Leave - Caitlin

We can all sit back in our comfortable lives and question other people's decisions. Especially when it comes to relationships. We think we know what we'd do if we were put in that situation or walked in someone else's shoes but we don't. It's easy to say everyone is accountable for their own actions but what if those actions have been molded and manipulated but someone who has broken you down, striped away your identity and made you believe that you deserved all of the terrible things they've said or did to you? My guest today paints a pretty clear picture of a cycle of abuse that she endured and how it affected her judgement of others and more importantly, herself.

86: How we persevere Shane’s story

We hear a lot of stories about trauma and abuse on this podcast. After losing all of my siblings to mental health issues and addiction I must admit that I sometimes don't hold much hope that people can change, people can turn their lives around or persevere. We can loosely connect the dots between childhood trauma to mental health disorders as an adult. On this episode my wonderful guest and friend Shane Waters joins me. Through Shane's wonderful story telling, he connects those dots from his childhood trauma to his behavior as an adult. Here are Shane’s shows: Foul Play and Hometown History.

Justin is very empathetic and is ready to listen and discuss topics that many find uncomfortable or taboo without judgement. It’s not an easy talent to have, and he helps the people he interviews and the listeners feel more connected. Highly recommend!!

Justin is such a kind, thoughtful, and intelligent host. There’s no way I would organically meet and have deep conversations with most of his guests, but he connects us, and I learn something from everyone. He makes my shortlist for favorite podcasters, and I’m grateful he’s who he is and does what he does. Thank you, Justin! Nolite te Bastardes Carborundorum!

It was very sad and hard to hear about Aaron being bullied for being a kid that was not the same as them. Thank you both for sharing this because it’s an important message.

Aaron. Stop. You were not bullied to the point that you had negative effects. You are a host of 2 podcasts. If you were bullied you wouldn’t be able to function. You just want attention
