Humans Need Winterizing, too.

Friday, December 1, 2023 • Duration 36:48

This week on the podcast, John and Amy spoke about how to winterize. We winterize our house, car or even a boat but what about us? The winter season has high expectations of being warm, delightful, and filled with joy shared with the people we love. But a lot of the time it is cold, depressing, dark and filled with some bullsh*t from people we’re supposed to love. This is then followed by New Year’s where we seem to try to reinvent ourselves with the pressure and expectation that a “new year, new you” will fix everything so why even try right now. This creates even more expectations that often don’t go as planned. Anxiety and depression rise, and we lose that feeling of joy or even the ability to see the good all around us. WTF? Maybe there is another way. Take care of yourself with more sleep, sex, cooking, hiding, moving, creating and writing “Stop Doing” lists. Listen in.

Reflecting on Death & Music

Friday, November 17, 2023 • Duration 39:55

This week on the podcast, John and Amy spoke about their experiences and the history of putting together their event Death & Music. The event navigates the delicate intersection of life, loss, and the emotive power of music. Bagpipes, bands, a string quartet and more made the night special and something John and Amy look forward to every year. John and Amy reflect on their own history of death and grieving, and Amy shares some recommendations on how to try and cope and move forward when dealing with a passing. She mentions trying to "look up" and remember that death is a shared experience. You truly are not alone. Amy also reminds folks that if you know someone who is dealing with a recent loss, it's great to comfort them but maybe hold on to your own stories of trauma for the first 6 months or so as to not overwhelm them. You are not alone, John, Amy and the whole DR & DJ Team *Reminder: Nothing in this podcast is a substitute for medical or professional advice. Please always consult your doctor.
