    Let's talk about doing the work

    If you’ve ever wondered what “doing the work” means, this episode is for you! Spoiler alert - it’s not easily defined, is very nuanced and varies person to person. Join us in a conversation where we unpack the complexities and discuss what it means to us!

    Let's talk about triggers

    We’re following up our last episode on trauma responses with all things trigger: trigger warnings, being triggered or unsafe versus discomfort and activation. We also dig into the ways in which terms are being mis (and over) used and leave you with some concrete things to get curious about in your own exploration of these topics. The big question we leave you to consider is: am I really triggered/unsafe or am I just trying to avoid discomfort?

    Let's talk about trauma responses

    Unpopular opinion - that TikTok you saw that made you believe your (insert behaviour here) is a trauma response might be doing you more harm than good. Join us in this conversation where we share our controversial opinion on why the popular tendency to label a wide range of human behaviours or qualities as trauma responses can be highly problematic. We dig into things from all angles, exploring why our opinion itself might be biased. We’d love to hear from you: let us know if you agree, disagree, or have a completely different take all together!

    Let's talk about mental health stigma

    Mental health stigma is present all around us. In this episode, we share a conversation that unpacks this big topic at the systemic, societal, interpersonal and individual levels.

    Let's talk about the hiatus

    Probably our most vulnerable episode so far!! Well, we’re back and we’re here to share vulnerably about where we’ve been and why we had to take an unplanned hiatus from the podcast. It wasn’t an easy decision to make, but we think it’s important to share our humanness and practice what we preach in terms of boundaries, self-care and honouring our capacity. We’re all set to finish up season 2 and can’t wait to share the rest of the episodes with you!

    Let's talk about allyship

    This might be our favourite episode so far!  A conversation about allyship was what drew us to each other as friends in grad school; now we are so excited to share our conversation about it with all of you.  We unpack what it really means to practice allyship, what allyship is not, and how we embody this work as individuals and professionals. We can’t wait to hear what you think!

    Let's talk about "putting yourself first"

    We came across a post by @itskemimarie around the idea of “putting yourself first” and the importance of considering the nuances in this statement. It really spoke to us, so we decided to sit down and have a conversation about it! In this episode we explore what this idea means to us, when it’s not always possible to do so and the different layers that go along with considering our needs while honouring the needs of our lives and relationships at the same time.  *We are still getting used to the technology around podcasting and acknowledge that Ravin’s mic was a little bit louder than anticipated in this episode…oops!

    Let's talk about privilege

    In this episode we start to unpack a big and important topic - our thoughts on privilege. What is it? Why is it an important concept to understand? We reflect on our own experiences of privilege, and marginalization, while weaving in a discussion on the role that pop culture representation plays in both upholding systemic privilege and the power it has to dismantle it.
