These Fukken Feelings Podcast‪©‬ Micah Bravery & Producer Crystal Davis

Ever found yourself uttering 'yes' when every fiber of your being screams 'no'? Buckle up for a riotous yet soul-stirring ride on "These F*****g Feelings," where my colleagues Crystal, our new co-host, and I, Micah, link arms with the indomitable Sheryl Green. We reckon with the art of setting boundaries and the liberation that comes with the tiny, powerful word 'no,' as Sheryl unfurls insights from her groundbreaking book, "You Had Me at No." It's a chapter in life that many of us skip but desperately need to read—and we're about to narrate it together, laughter included.
Stripping away the facade of the never-tiring giver, this episode peels back the guilt and reveals the raw necessity of self-care. From my personal anecdotes of resilience during the despair of a global pandemic to the grassroots of animal rescue, we lay bare the transformative journey that leads to the critical realization that refueling oneself isn't selfish—it's survival. And in a world where abundance guilt and enabling others can deplete our reserve, we're flipping the script to prioritize mental health and well-being with the same vigor we extend to those we love.
Bear witness to the empowerment that comes from speaking out and using our experiences as a beacon for others navigating the dark. Through my tales of clinical depression and Sheryl's poignant storytelling, we underscore the relentless pursuit of healing and the continuous evolution of the self. This episode isn't just about the sorrows and the setbacks—it's a celebration of unexpected joys, the humor that lightens our days, and the relationships that reflect back the love we must first extend to ourselves. Join us for an episode that isn't just heard but felt, as we champion a path to self-awareness and assert the boundaries necessary for a life well-lived.

As I sat across from Rebecca, her story unfolded like a mosaic of triumph and vulnerability—tales of her health battles, the power of friendship in the face of adversity, and her latest venture into LGBT fantasy fiction that's destined for the silver screen. Our conversation flowed from laughter to tears, weaving through the complexities of life's challenges and the beauty of human connection. Join us for an intimate episode where we lift the veil on personal struggles, the cathartic journey of writing, and the resilience found in creativity.

Rebecca didn't just share an update on her ambitious film project; she brought us along on a vivid stroll through a gay club scene, the quest for genuine representation, and reminded us that distance doesn't dampen the bonds we forge. We riff on the quirks of author signings—those unexpected short stories that leave the audience wanting more—and the emotional rollercoaster of penning books amidst grief. The episode is a tapestry of poignant tales, including my own dance with cancer, and the ways such experiences reshape our art, relationships, and sense of self.

This episode isn't just about recounting our hardships; it's an ode to the growth that stems from them. From the surprising artistic evolution following a concussion to the mental health realizations that bubble up during healing, we bare our souls. We address the sting of online negativity and the importance of authenticity, all while championing Rebecca's upcoming film—a beacon of representation we're thrilled to support. Tune in for stories that celebrate the indomitable spirit, and the connections that sustain us through life's most turbulent waters.

Rebecca's ambitious journey doesn't just end with storytelling—she's bringing the vibrant world of the "Acceptance" LGBTQ+ fantasy series to the big screen. Planned as a five-film franchise, these films aim to explore the depths of fighting oppression and the complex interplay between societal roles and personal identity. However, to bring this vision to life, funding is crucial. The budget will cover essential costs like travel expenses for on-location filming and the transportation of actors and actresses to picturesque filming locations in Philadelphia and Seattle.
We are reaching out to our community across the UK, US, and Bulgaria to support this groundbreaking project. Every contribution helps in making this dream a reality and enhances the authenticity and reach of our narrative. Plus, contributors might get a special treat—a cameo appearance by the beloved character Micah Bravery!

When life hands you diagnoses for your children that reshape your entire world, what do you do? Jan Stewart, a tireless advocate and author, joins us to unravel the complexities of parenting through mental health and neurodiversity challenges. Her candid storytelling in "Hold On Tight" reveals the trials and victories of raising Andrew and Ainsley, two children with a tapestry of neurodevelopmental disorders. Stewart's reflections on the resilience needed to advocate for proper healthcare, educational support, and inclusive employment for her children are both heartbreaking and inspiring.

Navigating the labyrinth of mental health isn't a solo journey, and our conversation with Stewart underscores the pivotal role of allies, like educator Nora McKay, who illuminate the path with empathy and expertise. Stewart brings us into her world of constant learning and recalibration of expectations, as she details how early signs of her children's conditions evolved into significant challenges. Her experiences shed light on the critical importance of parental intuition, especially when professional opinions fall short, and the ongoing struggle to understand disorders like OCD and anxiety that are often shrouded in myths and misconceptions.

We wrap up our profound conversation with Stewart by tackling the broader picture—how mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders ripple across family dynamics, relationships, and societal norms. With humor and gravity, Stewart shares how her family chose to laugh amidst misunderstandings and celebrate the quirks that make her children unique. And because we understand the journey doesn't end with a diagnosis, we delve into the importance of self-care, embracing the unpredictable, and allowing ourselves to find purpose in the unplanned. Join us in this enlightening discourse, because these fucking feelings matter, and so does the way we navigate them.
