The Positive Psychology Podcast - Bringing the Science of Happiness to your Earbuds with Kristen Truempy – Details, episodes & analysis

For all the peeps who are not into rap but want to shake their booty to original music made by yours truly I give you

Goofballs Unite!

What’s a revolutionary thing to do?

It’s to badly dance in your truth

Unconcerned with a perfect appearance

Or propagating eternal youth

Do you remember what you didn’t do?

All in the name of being cool?

Don’t waste tonight and realise

The marketing slogans made you shy

If you look at me from behind

It’s not a twerk that you will find.

Got no idea what my ass is doing

but I am having a great time.

You’ve skipped leg day all your life

your squats are shaky

but the groove’s divine

Hit the dancefloor

don’t be shy

Goofballs ahoi, let’s unite

(Bridge)

There they are

smirking away

Eyerolls rolling

throwing shade

Sometimes they’re

just in your thoughts

They should never

call the shots

In their world

they’re the height of cool

Unless they change

they peak at school

How bizarre would it be

to let losers determine your destiny?

My jiggly bits wrote half this song

how dare I praise ‘em? That’s so wrong

Imagine me having the gall

A big girl that claims space at all

Hey I bust out of my seams

still got plenty of self-esteem

Hit the dancefloor, don’t be shy

Goofballs ahoi, let’s unite

The most revolutionary thing to do

Is to badly dance in your truth

Unconcerned with a perfect appearance

Or propagating eternal youth

When you’re connected to your bliss

How will they sell their stupid shit?

How will they keep on ruling you?

If you live the values that you choose?

This episode was inspired by a conversation I had with a friend about her teenage daughter. While body image is particularly hard to navigate in your teens even as adults many of us struggle. Today we'll talk about why multiple perspectives are important, what doesn't help, and what I call the offense and the defense.

This episode is full of questions and ideas to get you thinking about sex in a more positive way. Sexual identity, sex positivity, porn and religion are covered among other things.

For our friends who are hard of hearing I am starting to include transcripts. Just visit this link for the full transcript (scroll down. The transcript might go live a few hours after the episode itself):
