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.

83: Bullying
Welcome back to the peripheral, I missed last month so I owe you all an episode that I should be putting out in the next couple of weeks. I had made an instagram story saying I'm planning on having some big names and influencers on the peripheral this year. For this episode I speak with Aaron who was bullied from elementary school well into high school. Aaron wouldn't be able to focus on his studies and his grades would suffer. His parents transferred him to a private catholic school in hopes of helping his falling grades but things would only get worse. I also share details about how I avoided being bullied by having a friend group where we stood up for one another.
You might recognize Aaron from another podcast you know and love.

83: Shades of Gray
Most people know I mostly steer clear of politics. I refrain from ever giving my opinion about any current events or political candidates on this podcast or generation why. I figure people are listening to this content as a When it comes to political theater of today, it’s changed a lot over my lifetime. It’s become far more polarized even to the point where conspiracy theories have become commonplace and absurd ideas are now thrown out as fact.
Whether you’re the president or a gamer kid online, your words matter. Not everything is black and white, every event doesn’t have an agenda, sometimes there are shades of gray.
On today’s episode I speak with Bella where politics and conspiracy become the root cause of the story.

82: The World According to Holden
Welcome back to the peripheral and happy new year. We all have our new year's resolutions. What is a resolution? It's something you want to change about your life, yourself, something you want to do differently. Maybe it's seeing the world in a better light. It's doing something for yourself, setting a boundary, exercising, eating better, or stopping a bad habit.
But all of those things are a transition. All of those things are a conscious decision that you want to make to be more true to yourself. On today's episode, I speak with Holden a trans man who knew they were in the wrong body from a young age.

Interesting and provocative
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!

Incredible People
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.
Not even
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
