Your Ex-Boyfriend’s Podcast is a critical look into being human, centered on one man’s journey to be healthy, happy, and fulfilled, led by Justis Tena, your local jack-of-all-trades. Each week on Sunday, we’ll discuss a different topic related to personal growth and navigating life, ranging from fear and shame, to finding purpose and joy, to critical thinking and setting boundaries. Solo episodes by Justis will be alternated with special guests, including nurses, police officers, sex coaches, therapists, teachers, friends, family members, and many more. All the while, we’ll be analyzing things through the lens of one college dropout turned blue collar philosopher, and keeping in mind that if it’s not hard, it’s probably not worth doing.

    Episode 56: Labor Day (Burn It Down, Boys!)

    Episode 56: Labor Day (Burn It Down, Boys!)

    First things first...if you want to hear the kickass intro-protest song in it's entirety, make sure you stick around past the end of this episode...
    So! In this episode, we get riled up about Labor Day and the organized labor movement in the good ol' USA. We're going to talk about what Labor Day is about, what we celebrate and why, and who it was that made it happen. Labor Unions in this country are vital and it's something everyone should be talking about. 
    The song I used for both the intro and outro is a version of "Company Store" by Greg MacPherson, covered by The Small Glories. Check them both out...Canadians know how to craft a damn good protest song. Burn it down, boys! Also, I'm not making any money using this song so I hope it's ok!

    Episode 53: Work Hard And Keep Your Eyes Open (Mix Bag)

    Episode 53: Work Hard And Keep Your Eyes Open (Mix Bag)

    In this episode, we jump to a few different topics. On my mind recently were the following:
    1. "Body count" negative bias
    2. Social media "experts" 
    3. Being ok with not being ok
    With this first Mix Bag episode, I'll touch on the previous over the course of about an hour, sharing my thoughts and personal experiences.

    Episode 52: Return of the Ex-Boyfriend (Cottagecore For Sure), Part 2, FT. CAIT

    Episode 52: Return of the Ex-Boyfriend (Cottagecore For Sure), Part 2, FT. CAIT

    WELCOME BACK AGAIN!
    In this episode, part 2 of 2, I channel my inner Luke Skywalker and make a return to the airwaves after a little over 5 months. If you're just listening to this show for the first time, you should know that Your Ex-Boyfriend's Podcast has been on an extended hiatus since the New Year of 2023. With #51, I dove into all manner of topics with my long-time friend Cait, including religion, trauma, hurt, the future, purpose, and chillin'. With this episode, #52, we continue the conversation and end on a very cozy note.
    Return listeners, I'm glad you came back. First time listeners, welcome to Your Ex-Boyfriend's Podcast.
