Struggle to weave together all of the seemingly un-connectable parts of yourself? Tired of feeling like you can only ever be one thing? Or, sick of being told there’s only one “right” way to be, so you feel like you have to cut off pieces of yourself in order to belong? This podcast is for you. This Plus That is a show about connecting the seemingly un-connectable and why it matters—everything from Neuroscience + Dance, to Fractals + Free Will, to Love + Death. Join host Brandi Stanley as she interviews people creating lives at the intersections of all their interests and complexities—even and especially if those interests are paradoxical.

  1. Humans + Photosynthesis with Carrie Bennett

    Humans + Photosynthesis with Carrie Bennett

    As a college athlete, Carrie (she/her) suffered chronic joint pain and insomnia. After her first child was born, she developed gut inflammation and adrenal fatigue. Armed with a BS in Biology, a Master’s Degree in Clinical Nutrition, and multiple certifications, Carrie sought the root cause of her failing health, ultimately finding circadian and quantum biology, which she has discovered is foundational to health and healing. Carrie currently sees clients in her private online practice. She also teaches courses in applied quantum biology as a faculty member for the Quantum Biology Collective, as an instructor at Kalamazoo College, and via her online course platform. In this episode, on the intersections of Humans + Photosynthesis, here are a few of the major things we cover: How the water in our bodies is structured into a liquid crystal. How that liquid crystal gets charged like a battery by the sun. The fact that humans do photosynthesize. How modern technology and indoor living drain our body’s battery. The cascade of events that happen in our bodies via sunlight. Why our bodies are like radios, constantly picking up vibrational data. The quantum and biological legitimacy of manifesting. How the water in our body remembers past trauma. Carrie’s take on cancer, including cells being “out of tune.” And, why you should ditch your sunglasses. Listeners can find Carrie online, at: Her Website Her Quantum Foundations Course Instagram YouTube Those who might be interested in taking a deeper dive can also become certified in Carrie’s six-week course, which is the world’s first-ever Quantum Circadian Certification.

  2. Bonus Episode — Exploring the Nature of Paradox: An Interview of Brandi on the Ground Work Podcast

    Bonus Episode — Exploring the Nature of Paradox: An Interview of Brandi on the Ground Work Podcast

    In this bonus episode of the show, hear Brandi in conversation with Kate Kavanaugh on the Ground Work Podcast. As Kate describes of the interview — "This episode is a long-form podcast between two people that don’t know how to be bite-sized. Often discussed through the lens of paradox where paradox is the answer and not the problem, and pleasure is found in the pursuit of all the questions. In it, Brandi discusses finding purpose in her life as a generalist for whom curiosity is always burning. We talk about aliveness as a North Star for purpose in that, according to Brandi, “Whatever wakes up aliveness is your purpose.” We talk about connection—both connecting disparate ideas and also what happens when we become disconnected and it manifests as illness in our bodies, divisiveness in our culture, and breakdowns in our ecology. Brandi shares about the role of religion in her life and her exploration of the intentional split between matter and the sacred, and how she is reintegrating them. We explore the idea of ‘living in the gift’ and how we can share our gifts with the world and how we can receive the gifts of others." We also talk about: – The intersection of eroticism + aliveness – Learning to stop cutting off pieces of yourself to belong – Holding complexity – Finding purpose in illness Find Kate and other Ground Work things here: Listen to the Ground Work Podcast Kate's Instagram Get more This Plus That: Sign up for the newsletter.

  3. Meat + Health with Kate Kavanaugh

    Meat + Health with Kate Kavanaugh

    Kate Kavanaugh (she/her) is trying to figure out what it means to lay the groundwork. For herself, for human health and ecosystem health alike, for farmers, for the next generation, and beyond. After many years as a vegetarian, Kate’s health began to decline precipitously. She turned to meat for answers and found an entire world of curiosity before her. She noticed that through holistic management, farmers were working to restore ecosystems and grasslands with the help of ruminants. This seemed intimately connected to her own health journey and—curious to help restore the Western grasslands she called home through regeneratively raised meat—she opened a whole-animal butcher shop, Western Daughters, with her now-husband in 2013. Blending her knowledge of regenerative agriculture, nutrition, anthropology, health, and biology, Kate is now in the midst of yet another life change spurred on by meat. She moved to a farm where she grows almost all of her own food, lives with the rhythms of nature, and explores the question of what it means to lay the groundwork through her podcast—the Ground Work Podcast. When she’s not exploring the intersections of human and ecosystem health, you can find her playing with goats in the sunshine. In this episode, on the intersections of Meat + Health, we talk about: [08:02] The paradox of life and death: they can coexist together and one is required for the other. [22:39] The brilliant thing about ecology is that we are attracted to things that are more beautiful and taste better. [47:21] The difference between Kate’s view on agriculture and conventional agriculture.  [57:29] Why contradiction doesn’t exist in the universe.  [01:21:45] Life thrives in edge zones within an ecosystem.  [01:30:48] Is the reason why so many people have health issues that we’ve replaced fat with sugar?  [01:37:04] Kate and I both like complexity and nuance, which sometimes makes us exhausted people.  [01:50:03] Death is not bad in nature. It strengthens the soil and our bodies. It’s all part of a bigger ecosystem.   [01:55:51] Why Kate’s community and her new podcast, Ground Work, fill her up.

    Work + Rest with Kate Kavanaugh

    Kate Kavanaugh (she/her) is trying to figure out what it means to lay the groundwork. For herself, for human health and ecosystem health alike, for farmers, for the next generation, and beyond.

When she’s not exploring the intersections of human and ecosystem health, you can find her playing with goats in the sunshine. In this episode, on the intersections of Rest + Work, we talk about: [08:45] Too much healing becoming too much of a good thing. [19:31] Spiritual and mental journeys often being a mirror for your physical journey. [19:43] The earth is a mirror of our individual pain and vice versa. [20:11] Allowing healing to sometimes be passive—letting it happen rather than making it happen. [22:11] Reclaiming your self-sovereignty when you’ve been outsourcing your healing to others. [31:00] Healing as a birthright—nature *wants* to heal, and humans are part of nature. [38:16] Our dental journeys, include dental cavitations, airway work, and sleep issues. and so much more.

    Money + Magic with Jessie Susannah Karnatz

    Jessie Susannah Karnatz (she/her) aka the Money Witch, brings capitalism-critical, shame-free education to healers, hustlers, and creatives in order to catalyze change in their financial lives. She believes healing our finances will bring blessing to our lives, our lineages, and our communities.

[22:18] Culture tells us that it’s better to be safe doing the work you don’t like than pursuing what you really like. [23:03] Why following the formula of each generation and compliance doesn’t necessarily give you success. [32:29] Taking ownership and responsibility of your finances. [36:03] Addressing intimacy in your relationship with money. [44:16] Money is not just material, it is also spiritual. [52:59] Be aligned with aliveness, align your relationships, and align with your spiritual truth. [01:02:40] What money magic feels like for Jessie. Prefer to see this conversation instead?

  6. Painting + Prayer, Part 2 with Emily McIlroy

    Painting + Prayer, Part 2 with Emily McIlroy

    Emily McIlroy (she/her) was born and raised in Norman, Oklahoma with her twin brother Ross. She received her BA in Studio Art from the University of Arizona in 2005, and her MFA in Drawing and Painting from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 2011. She served many years as an instructor and an art educator for the Honolulu Museum of Art School, and the Hawaii State Art Museum and currently teaches in the drawing and painting program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.  When she's not teaching or in her studio, Emily enjoys reading, writing and walking, and swimming her way through various terrestrial and aquatic wildernesses. She lives and works in Honolulu in Pālolo Valley with her very vocal Siamese cat. In this episode, on the intersections of Painting + Prayer, we talk about: [06:10] Brandi and Emily’s early struggles in Christianity and religion and where they’ve come to now. [18:51] How choosing one discipline or tradition, like a religion, doesn’t have to mean that all the others aren’t true. In fact, it might enliven all of the other traditions even more. [25:27] The value of committing yourself to a particular tradition and sneaky ways we individually and culturally avoid intimacy. [37:27] Emily’s “Promises” blog. [47:24] Strengthening the “host” instead of attacking the “invader”—a different way to think of “health.” [55:22] The visceral nature of grief and joy. [56:32] Eve’s greatest sin wasn’t eating the apple, it was choosing the knowledge of “good” and “evil”—a dualism. [1:05:03] Meditation as a path to finding alignment.

In this episode, on the intersections of Painting + Prayer, we talk about: [11:13] How Emily and I came to know each other. [11:45] Emily talks about her body of work, The Lilies, as prayers. [26:28] Art as the whetstone of consciousness. [31:59] Paradox as a feature of the human mind. [38:35] Emily's story of losing her twin brother and how it’s shaped her life and work. [42:36] Where the title for Emily’s “Lilies” exhibit comes from. [45:31] Questions like “Who am I?” and “What’s my purpose” as invitations to prayer. [56:46] Thinking of death as a dimension beyond our current perception. [1:01:23] Life and death as part of the same continuum.
