On this episode of “What Are You Even Talking About?” I’m joined by Julius Peckins for a conversation centered on self-discovery and mental wellness—the kind that is built, practiced, and protected, not just hoped for.

Julius shares grounded insights and practical strategies for strengthening the mind, supporting the body, and reconnecting with the spirit in a way that is realistic and sustainable. We talk about tools you can actually use—daily habits, mindset shifts, and ways to cultivate stability when life gets heavy. This episode is about building a healthier inner world, one intentional step at a time.

On this episode of “What Are You Even Talking About?” we take a deeper route—into self-discovery, embodied connection, and the strange, powerful idea of the perpetual present: that lived reality is always happening “now,” even when our nervous system is stuck replaying the past or rehearsing the future.

I’m joined by Saurora Grace—a sex, intimacy, kink, and tantra educator—who brings expertise, clarity, and a grounded approach to topics that are often either sensationalized or avoided entirely. Together, we explore presence as more than a mindset: how the body holds memory, how intimacy can become a mirror, and how conscious connection can help people reclaim agency, authenticity, and emotional truth.

This isn’t about shock value. It’s about learning to be fully here—inside your body, inside your boundaries, inside your relationships—so your life stops being something you “survive” and starts being something you actively experience.

In this episode, I sit down with Mariel Anderson—Founder and Executive Producer of the Shine Foundation of Artistic Expression—for a conversation that does what we do not do nearly enough: speak plainly about mental health without shame, without posturing, and without pretending men are unaffected.

Mariel helps break the silence and brings real insight into how men can improve relationship dynamics—through emotional literacy, honest communication, healthier boundaries, and accountability that does not collapse into self-hatred. This is not a lecture and it is not “fix yourself” culture. It is a candid dialogue about what it takes to understand yourself, show up better, and build relationships that are safe, stable, and real.

If you are tired of surface-level advice and ready for truth, this conversation is for you.

On this episode of “What Are You Even Talking About?” I’m joined by Dr. Breanna Reeser for a conversation that cuts through the performative noise and gets honest about relationships—online and in real life.

We start with the social media problem: how easy it is to confuse visibility with credibility, and how damaging “confident but wrong” advice can be when people are trying to make serious decisions about their hearts, families, and futures. From there, we move into what actually builds connection—authenticity, accountability, and real communication—not curated perfection.

This episode is about redefining success in relationships: not by how long something lasts, but by how safe, truthful, and growth-oriented it becomes. We talk through trust-building, what it means to introduce a partner to children (and why that step deserves more intention than most people give it), gaslighting and how to recognize it, repairing relationships after harm, and the hardest question of all: when someone hurts you, do you stay—or do you walk away?

Throughout the conversation, we emphasize self-reflection without self-blame, boundaries without cruelty, and communication that actually changes outcomes instead of repeating the same fight in different costumes.

We also answered subscriber questions on relationships—so listen closely… yours might be in the episode.

Step into a deep, grounded conversation with Ingrid H. Turner—spiritual teacher, author, and minister—as we explore the kind of healing journey that does not just change a person, but quietly changes the world through them.

In this episode, we talk about what it really means to heal: how trauma shapes identity, how mental health challenges can distort our relationship with reality, and how spirituality—when approached with discernment—can become a stabilizing framework rather than an escape hatch. We also explore the evolution of belief itself: how growth often requires updating what we think we know, letting old narratives die, and choosing a more honest, resilient way of being.

This is an episode about becoming—personal responsibility without self-shaming, faith without denial, and inner work that produces outward impact. Because when one person becomes healthier, more aware, and more aligned, the ripple effect is not a metaphor. It is social physics.

In this episode, I sit down with Reese Sabatini Blake—an Indigenous medicine woman with a background in high-risk social work—for a conversation that cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of healing: what actually helps people rebuild their lives after trauma.

We talk about why creativity is not optional—not for individuals, not for society. It is a stabilizer. A meaning-maker. A way the nervous system speaks when words fail. Reese shares her personal journey of overcoming paralysis and how that lived experience shaped her work supporting others through trauma recovery using Indigenous medicine and holistic practices.

We also explore the complicated relationship many of us have with modern treatment: the benefits and limitations of pharmaceuticals, the reality that medication can help some people and still not be the whole answer, and why it is worth having honest conversations about natural remedies, lifestyle supports, and alternative options—especially when medication access and affordability are major barriers.

This is not “either/or.” It is “what works, what’s safe, what’s sustainable.” We focus on mindset, personal well-being, and the kind of support systems that make healing more than a moment—something you can actually live inside.

Join me for a deep, grounded conversation with Rich Spicer as we explore neurodiverse artistry—not as a trend, but as something timeless: the way creativity becomes a sanctuary, a translator for the inner world, and sometimes a lifeline.

In this episode, we talk about time—how it shapes our healing, our growth, and our relationship to art itself. Rich shares his artistic journey and what it means to build a creative life that can hold both intensity and meaning. We also examine how technology is reshaping creativity: what it enhances, what it interrupts, and what it quietly trains us to outsource.

Along the way, we get real about the inner work behind the work—gratitude, boundaries, forgiveness, and the complicated topic of manifestation when you are trying to stay both hopeful and honest. And we zoom out to the bigger picture: the role creativity plays in society—how it helps communities process reality, challenge narratives, and stay human.

Finally, we address a caution that matters more every year: our increasing dependence on artificial intelligence in artistic expression. Not as fearmongering—just a clear-eyed look at what we gain, what we risk, and what parts of the human spirit we should never casually hand off to an algorithm.

Step into a revealing conversation with Mr. Roger Peters—the creative mind behind Epic Sages—where we explore tabletop role-playing games as more than entertainment. This is geek culture with a purpose.

We talk about what makes TTRPGs so powerful: shared storytelling, imagination under pressure, and the underrated art of flexibility—learning to adapt when the dice do what dice do, and the story refuses to follow your plan (which is basically life with better character sheets). We also explore the therapeutic side of the table: how role-play can support identity work, emotional processing, social connection, and meaning-making—while still being honest about the challenges that can show up in group dynamics, boundaries, and intense narratives.

If you love stories, psychology, creativity, and the strange magic of collaborative worlds, this episode is for you.
