podcast with me, Soren Peterson and Chris 9 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:00,800 McLaughlin. 10 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:01,800 Hi Soren. 11 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:02,800 Hi. 12 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,800 Happy holidays. 13 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,120 Happy holidays to you as well. 14 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,800 Been a lot of holidays going on. 15 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,720 Yes, yes. 16 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,640 Visiting with family, lots of festivities. 17 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,240 Lots of festivities. 18 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,200 And this is our last episode. 19 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,640 This is the final episode of the second season. 20 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,360 I know, kind of poetic that we wrap it up with the year. 21 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,840 It is actually perfect timing where, as if we almost planned it, that we would tie this 22 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,240 one to be right after New Year's. 23 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,240 Yes. 24 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,240 Perfection. 25 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,240 Perfection. 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,240 Let's stop that shit. 27 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,240 We have a lot to get into today. 28 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,240 This is true. 29 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:42,240 But I'm curious, as we've been doing all season long, inspired insight for the week. 30 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,560 Yes. 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,320 My inspired insight for today. 32 00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:49,040 As you know, we've been experiencing a holiday season. 33 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,800 A delightful and cheery time to lead us into winter. 34 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:02,120 And I just want to reflect on this idea of family and what we're gathering for. 35 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,200 Right? 36 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:09,440 Oftentimes I feel as though family is sort of an arbitrary group of individuals, which 37 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:15,080 you're not necessarily tied to or wouldn't interact with typically. 38 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,120 But you kind of have to. 39 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,920 And I think in those moments, a very unique bond forms. 40 00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:31,040 It is one of necessity and obligation, but also one of deep love and care. 41 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:39,160 And I think because you, to some extent, don't have a choice, it fosters a sense of true 42 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,120 unconditional love. 43 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,400 You're attached to these people. 44 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,680 And because of that, it is your responsibility to protect. 45 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,160 And if you don't always enjoy them, be with them in difficult times. 46 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,720 And in festive times, like the holiday season. 47 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:56,720 Yeah. 48 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,720 You know, I love that. 49 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,440 I love that insight. 50 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,720 And it's very closely connected to mine. 51 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,880 Oftentimes at the holidays, and this one has been no different, I reflect on this concept 52 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,520 of chosen family versus family of origin. 53 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:21,920 And as we both know in the LGBTQ plus community, this idea of chosen family is a huge concept. 54 00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:28,240 And you know, I got to thinking, especially this holiday season, isn't it cool when your 55 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:35,680 chosen family also happens to be your family of origin, when those two circles are so overlapped? 56 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,000 And there were certainly times in my life where I didn't feel as close with my family 57 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,400 of origin or cousins. 58 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,840 You have a lot of cousins that you see over the holiday. 59 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:53,320 I have cousins I haven't physically seen in a very long time. 60 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,400 For no reason, just life and getting older. 61 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,600 And everyone now has families of their own and they've spread out all over New England 62 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,860 at this point. 63 00:04:01,860 --> 00:04:08,360 But I just think it's so cool when the people, the family I would choose to spend time with 64 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,440 also happens to be my family of origin. 65 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,760 And I think that sort of speaks to the bond that I was talking about. 66 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:22,400 Like the intimacy which is fostered by that obligation. 67 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,360 And how it turns from obligation into something you look forward to. 68 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,360 Into desire. 69 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,080 Yeah, that's cool. 70 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,080 That's really cool. 71 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,080 That's really cool. 72 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,080 Happy holidays to you. 73 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,400 Happy holidays to your family and our listeners. 74 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,200 So for this final episode of the season, we wanted to do a couple things. 75 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,440 We wanted to reflect on the season that was and kind of get into some of our favorite 76 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,080 moments of season two. 77 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:54,280 Reflect on the fall season that we've had just here in life. 78 00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:58,200 And start thinking about New Year and what's coming ahead. 79 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,520 And I'm curious, I've never asked you this before. 80 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,600 Are you a New Year's resolution kind of person? 81 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:10,760 I feel like if you want to do something and you need like a moment of collapse to do it, 82 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,520 then it's a means through which you procrastinate. 83 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,320 I can't say that I'm super big on New Year's resolutions. 84 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,720 I'd rather just when I want to do something, do it. 85 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,560 I think we're similar. 86 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,040 Somebody might ask like what's your resolution and I'll have some canned rattle off. 87 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:32,400 But for me, I live, if I'm committed to something, I don't want to put it off for a certain 88 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,920 day on the calendar. 89 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,760 And I feel like depending on what the resolution is, for many people it's a setup. 90 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:45,400 And if you're truly not ready to make a change or to do something different with our lives, 91 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,440 you're probably not going to do it. 92 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:53,440 And a couple weeks go by and it's not done and it's just a way to feel bad about yourself. 93 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:59,680 But also anybody who is using New Year's resolutions as a way to create positive change in their 94 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,240 life, that's fantastic as well. 95 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,240 Do it. 96 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,240 Yeah. 97 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,240 And I actually have some. 98 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,960 I have some new ones that maybe we'll have some time to get into some of the new ones 99 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,800 I've been thinking about. 100 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:19,440 But I do, I will say I love the idea of this calendar switch and it gives us an opportunity 101 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:25,440 to reflect and think about the person we want to be going forward as well. 102 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,440 Yeah, totally. 103 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,680 And it kind of fits in also with our, some of our podcast taglines that we've shared 104 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:38,400 with listeners over now two full seasons around this idea that better days are ahead, that 105 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,080 we're all works in progress, that our best self is still yet to come. 106 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,080 Yes. 107 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,080 Right. 108 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,160 So I'm excited about this. 109 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,560 Let's start with our retrospective. 110 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,840 So thinking about season two, what are some of your favorite memories you've had doing 111 00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:55,040 this season? 112 00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:01,080 Season two was really, really fun for me because we had the opportunity to bring on guests, 113 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,760 which we didn't do in season one. 114 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:11,880 And I'm so glad that I, as a lowly child, had the opportunity to have discussions with 115 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,240 a lot of these fantastic adults. 116 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,560 And of course with Chris. 117 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:23,080 One of my favorite episodes, although it might not have been other people's, was our episode 118 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,600 with Greg Music Bridges. 119 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,080 I knew you were going to say that. 120 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,920 And I think it was really refreshing for me as someone who doesn't really have the opportunity 121 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:38,360 to have similar style conversations on matters like theology and philosophy. 122 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:44,800 It was really liberating and validating to have a conversation with him about that. 123 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,760 You were in your element. 124 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,200 Was that the Keanu Reeves episode where you were talking about Constantine? 125 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:53,200 Yeah. 126 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,200 Yeah. 127 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,200 Yes. 128 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,680 And I learned a lot on that episode. 129 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:57,680 Greg's brilliant. 130 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,480 And Greg, I'm lucky to call Greg a colleague and a friend for many years now. 131 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,040 And every time I'm in Greg's presence, I learn new stuff. 132 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,480 And it was actually fun watching you shine in that episode too, being able to really 133 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,040 nerd out, geek out. 134 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,120 And I know we had some debate this season about what's the difference between nerding 135 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,120 and geeking. 136 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,120 Semantics. 137 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,120 Semantics. 138 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,680 But you really got to play in that sandbox that you love to be in. 139 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:23,680 That's true. 140 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,680 Yeah. 141 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:25,680 That was a cool episode. 142 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,680 I agree with you, Sorin. 143 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,800 Every single one of our guest episodes, I loved. 144 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,600 I loved being sort of outside too. 145 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,600 Yeah. 146 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,600 It was very nice. 147 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,320 And being in that space outside of a studio. 148 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,320 Yeah. 149 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:43,040 I think some of my favorite moments of season two were spent in the company of other people. 150 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:47,440 And so I think about spending time with our younger brothers. 151 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,440 Yeah. 152 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,080 With our friend Dominic Barney. 153 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,080 Yes. 154 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,280 Talking about drag and theater. 155 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,440 And you were in your element talking about theater. 156 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,880 That was a really fun episode too. 157 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,480 And I think that you shined as well on that one. 158 00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,480 Yeah, I loved that one. 159 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,000 It was a really nice episode. 160 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,720 I loved talking. 161 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:07,440 We had episodes with some other queer folks. 162 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,600 So we had our friend Paul and Frank come representing four different generations. 163 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,320 Explored deeper into that generation. 164 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:16,320 That was really cool. 165 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,960 And Frank is also a mentor of mine. 166 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:25,280 And hearing Frank talk about his experience in the 80s. 167 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,880 With the AIDS crisis and watching friends die. 168 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,720 That was a moving episode. 169 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,680 We had some teacher friends come out. 170 00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:41,160 The teacher episode was, in my eyes, one of the most feel good episodes that we made in 171 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,160 the season. 172 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,160 That was really nice. 173 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:50,800 And you shined there as well as one of the teachers was a former teacher of yours. 174 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:51,800 That's true. 175 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,000 And being able to talk about the experience in the classroom and books that you shared 176 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,000 and liked. 177 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,320 Yeah, I think our guest episodes were just phenomenal. 178 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,320 They were my favorite. 179 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,080 Across the board, I feel. 180 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:11,400 It's just so nice to have the opportunity to talk with these wiser, older people and 181 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,640 get their knowledge imparted to me. 182 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:14,640 Yeah. 183 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:22,400 And have them also truly and genuinely be interested in what you are thinking and what 184 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,400 you have to say. 185 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:31,240 Like there's something I think so validating when adults are able to share their knowledge, 186 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:36,360 but also are genuinely interested in what younger generations are thinking and feeling. 187 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:43,720 I think too, I'm really glad that we are able to and have created a public forum for these 188 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,120 voices to be shared. 189 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:52,520 I think that everybody that we had on this season needs to be heard. 190 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,440 And I am so pleased that we had the opportunity to allow them to speak. 191 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,440 Yeah. 192 00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,440 Yeah. 193 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,640 And you know what also was cool about season two is our listeners also started chiming 194 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:03,880 in a bit. 195 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:12,240 And so I'm remembering after Dominic's episode, people were really moved when Dominic shared 196 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:20,320 his tagline from his Priscilla Poppycocks where he says, make sure you don't save a 197 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,320 little love for yourself. 198 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,320 Yeah. 199 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,320 Don't give it all away. 200 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,320 That was really meaningful. 201 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:30,720 I heard from several listeners that that tagline stuck with them, especially getting into 202 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,280 the holiday season and making sure to save some love for yourself. 203 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:40,540 We had listeners that really were moved by Greg and the talk about the intersectionality 204 00:11:40,540 --> 00:11:41,920 of queer identities and religion. 205 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,680 I think that was really special too. 206 00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:45,800 To hear from listeners. 207 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,440 I love that too. 208 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,640 Yeah. 209 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:54,280 So we'd like to thank everybody who came on and everybody who listened. 210 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,080 But moving forth. 211 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,320 Yeah. 212 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,320 So what's... 213 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,240 I have an idea. 214 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,280 Before we talk about what's ahead. 215 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:09,680 So we unpacked more of the episodes, but our world had a lot of other things going on during 216 00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:10,880 the... 217 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:17,480 As the season was unfolding, we had some other pretty significant national events. 218 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:30,160 And I had an election that continues to echo and reverb over a lot of what you and I do 219 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:35,120 every day and the conversations we're having with our friends and loved ones. 220 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,800 So that election piece has also been huge. 221 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:46,320 And that also got me thinking as I'm talking about it, one of the episodes this season 222 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,680 that was actually filmed before the election results was around finding your voice and 223 00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:51,680 advocacy. 224 00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:56,560 That was just you and I in the studio talking about that. 225 00:12:56,560 --> 00:13:01,160 And I think it's going to be really interesting to now go back and re-listen to that episode 226 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,040 since... 227 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,120 Now we have to implement it even harder. 228 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,120 Yeah. 229 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,440 So tell me a little bit about what you're thinking, what you and your friend group are 230 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,880 thinking about. 231 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:19,720 I just remember on the morning after election night, I walked into school and two of my 232 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:29,160 female friends were crying because they were so anxious about reproductive rights. 233 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:38,000 And as teenagers who are a significant portion of the demographic interested in getting an 234 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,920 abortion and in need of getting abortion sometimes, they felt very scared. 235 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,640 And it was very saddening to see that. 236 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,020 What about...I totally agree with you. 237 00:13:51,020 --> 00:13:56,040 What about some of your friends who identify in the queer community? 238 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,240 Are they feeling that same level of anxiety? 239 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:08,000 I think that a lot of my trans friends that I've talked to, they just felt dejected. 240 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,620 It's yet to become a complete political blow yet as certain people have not entered the 241 00:14:13,620 --> 00:14:15,640 executive branch yet. 242 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:22,960 But they just felt like their country had wholesale rejected them. 243 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,560 And 74 million Americans voted directly against their interests. 244 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:37,280 And on a platform that those 74 million American voters voted of hate and viewing trans people 245 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,280 as inhuman. 246 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,280 Yeah. 247 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,280 Misinformation, fear. 248 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,280 Yeah. 249 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,720 But you know, Sorin, I'm connected with a lot of queer youth in the different hats that 250 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:52,600 I wear and similar to your, what you were saying, that in the days following the election 251 00:14:52,600 --> 00:15:02,320 results, genuine anxiety and genuine fear of what does this mean? 252 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:08,520 I have college students that I'm connected with in different ways and it's being felt 253 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:15,880 a lot there as well, both from folks of color and folks who identify as something other 254 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,040 than straight or cisgender. 255 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:25,560 And so that it's been spent a lot of times just sitting with folks and letting them feel 256 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,280 what they need to feel. 257 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:33,280 And another interesting thing that has come out of this, which may be my second inspired 258 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:40,640 insight for this week's episode is thinking about what you just said about our advocacy 259 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:47,800 episode, like how do we put into practice those things that we've been thinking about? 260 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:55,720 And I've kind of been playing around with this new idea of how do we be part of both 261 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,080 the resistance and the resilience? 262 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,040 Because I think it's going to take both. 263 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:09,720 It's going to take resistance to giving into fear and hate and resilience. 264 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:18,200 There are going to be different communities of people who are going to need support and 265 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,800 unconditional positive regard and love and allyship. 266 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:29,280 It requires not only action, but perseverance. 267 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:36,400 Working in America is not necessarily choosing who you would want, at least on the federal 268 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,120 level, but in my eyes, it's choosing who you would rather push for what you want. 269 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,880 Like who's your spokesperson? 270 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,280 Yes. 271 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,520 Who do you think is more easy to sway towards your point of view? 272 00:16:49,520 --> 00:17:00,360 And the reality is that going into office is a very obstinate, immature, foolish, egotistical, 273 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:05,920 can go on and on man that does not like to listen. 274 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:13,360 And as people who are in communities that will be directly harmed by his presidency, 275 00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:15,620 we need to make him listen. 276 00:17:15,620 --> 00:17:20,920 We need to make the people under him listen and we need to continue fighting for all four 277 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,960 years of this next presidency. 278 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:28,680 And that was exactly, again, to your point, what our episode this season on advocacy was 279 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:34,680 really about finding your voice and what you do once you've found it. 280 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,560 And at both the local and federal levels. 281 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:46,040 So we are we are lucky enough right now to be living in a state that maintained sort 282 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:52,000 of that perfect trifecta of two more years of a Democratic governor maintained, although 283 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,700 we got chipped away, but we maintained our Democratic Democrat lead in both the House 284 00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:04,520 and the Senate here in Maine, which for me is a real call to both courage and action 285 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:13,000 of what can we do here in the state of Maine to continue to protect, to enshrine basic 286 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,720 human rights. 287 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,720 So that's being part of the resistance. 288 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:24,240 And then this idea of being part of the resilience is the resistance is the action piece. 289 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,880 The resilience is the protection, the self protection. 290 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,520 How do we keep going? 291 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,560 Yeah, it's going to take fight. 292 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,920 Hopefully I am not going to be here. 293 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,440 Yeah, we're going to get into that news. 294 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:44,600 You know, the other thing I just wanted to say to put another maybe a human face to what 295 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:45,600 we're talking about. 296 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,640 I don't think I've told you this yet. 297 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,760 I not this part, the next part. 298 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,600 So randomly, I happen to be a notary. 299 00:18:54,600 --> 00:19:00,480 And in the state of Maine, the law changed where notaries used to be able to do perform 300 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,740 wedding ceremonies and then no longer. 301 00:19:03,740 --> 00:19:09,160 But they grandfathered all the current notaries into what this new title of wedding officiant. 302 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:14,480 So I happened to by default to now also be a notary and a wedding officiant. 303 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:23,120 And so soon after the election results, I had a social media friend reach out to me 304 00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:33,200 to introduce me to a friend of hers who is trans and needed some paperwork signed because 305 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:41,600 of the results of the election needed to really get some documents updated with proper gender 306 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,360 and gender markers. 307 00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:46,440 And some of those documents require a notarized signature. 308 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:57,880 So I traveled about 45 minutes away to meet that person who was scared and really committed 309 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:06,440 to doing what they needed to do to get their IDs to match their gender expression and have 310 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,600 everything just be aligned. 311 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,720 But did it but doing it out of fear. 312 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:11,720 Yeah. 313 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:21,720 And then I also got the opportunity to marry two men, a friend of mine and his now husband, 314 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:28,160 who up until the election that wasn't really that interested in sort of the institution 315 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,520 of the heterosexual definition of marriage. 316 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:36,460 And it's the legal protections that come with that piece of paper. 317 00:20:36,460 --> 00:20:43,960 And so got to see firsthand both this idea of being part of the resistance, the action, 318 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:49,960 marrying people, getting documentation updated and the resilience of doing. 319 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,160 Yeah. 320 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:58,600 Being part of both of those characteristics of what to your point, what it's going to 321 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:03,020 take to move forward in a healthy, safe way. 322 00:21:03,020 --> 00:21:08,280 So yeah, we would have been remiss to not just acknowledge this election happened and 323 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:15,840 it really happened and there are some real impacts being felt already. 324 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,720 Keep your guard up and fingers crossed. 325 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:18,720 Yeah. 326 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:19,720 Yeah. 327 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,120 Be part of the resistance and the resilience. 328 00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:31,480 And you have some news to share that you just referenced that I am ecstatic about. 329 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:36,980 But what's going on for you after your senior year in high school this June? 330 00:21:36,980 --> 00:21:44,360 As most people who know me already know, I have been planning on going to school in the 331 00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:49,800 UK or British Isles for a few years now. 332 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:56,440 And I applied to schools this September and I got into my top two choices, University 333 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,640 of Glasgow and University of Edinburgh. 334 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,000 And I'll probably be going to Glasgow next September. 335 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,000 That's awesome. 336 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,000 Congratulations. 337 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,000 I'm very excited. 338 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,680 I could not be happier for you and your family. 339 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,240 And you have worked so hard for this. 340 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:21,960 I think it was season one where we did a recording as you were just getting back from some overseas 341 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,760 visits with your mom. 342 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:24,760 Yes. 343 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,240 Long time in the making. 344 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:37,640 Long time in the making and it is a testament to your both your academic success and your 345 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,600 desire to just see the world and be part of the global this global community. 346 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:51,620 I am so excited because now I feel like by having transcontinental mobility, I'm going 347 00:22:51,620 --> 00:22:54,720 to have so much more social and political mobility. 348 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:55,720 Yeah. 349 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,240 And be able to shape the world around me to my liking. 350 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,120 Like we are all the play dough in Soren's hands. 351 00:23:04,120 --> 00:23:05,120 Not necessarily. 352 00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:06,120 I don't mean. 353 00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:07,120 Yeah. 354 00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:09,720 But I think it's very fun. 355 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:18,400 And as a child, I'm finally now getting the opportunity to have agency over everything 356 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,400 in my life. 357 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,080 And that's scary, but it's also really exciting. 358 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,120 Really cool. 359 00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:24,120 Really cool. 360 00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:25,120 Congratulations. 361 00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:31,800 You have a small feat getting into any college, let alone two of the best schools in the UK. 362 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:39,800 So I'm and I selfishly am excited for maybe a inspired insights podcast road trip, maybe 363 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,840 some remote remote sessions. 364 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:44,840 I can't wait. 365 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:45,840 I'm so excited. 366 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:51,120 I'm so excited for you just to experience that next stage of your career. 367 00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:52,120 Yeah. 368 00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:56,240 As am I, fingers crossed it goes well. 369 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,440 There's no doubt in my mind. 370 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,120 Fingers crossed that the seat rest you can get through the rest of your senior year as 371 00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:03,120 planned. 372 00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:05,120 That's that's actually what we're crossing. 373 00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:06,120 Yeah. 374 00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:08,400 Staying motivated is tough. 375 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,040 But as the school year transitions away, I'm going to have less and less hours. 376 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,880 I'll be able to put more effort into this podcast and things that I like doing. 377 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:18,880 Yeah. 378 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,440 And gearing up to be at least a semi adult. 379 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:24,440 Yeah. 380 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:25,440 Yeah. 381 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:31,160 And you're going to have some other experiences as you come back into the second half of your 382 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,160 senior year. 383 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:39,680 You will have some other experiences to update us on some time in another another foreign 384 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,840 country you're spending some time at. 385 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,840 So I'm excited. 386 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,440 I'm excited for everything that this represents for you. 387 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,240 It's a real achievement. 388 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,240 Thank you. 389 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,240 I'm excited. 390 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,520 I'm excited about. 391 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,280 Is there anything else in as if you need anything else? 392 00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:01,720 Is there anything else in twenty five that you are looking forward to? 393 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:09,360 I am going to Brazil in January and going to hike Machu Picchu. 394 00:25:09,360 --> 00:25:10,360 I was. 395 00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:11,360 Yeah. 396 00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:12,360 That's the other big. 397 00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:13,360 Yeah. 398 00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:16,920 And I think your hike is a family. 399 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,000 All four of you are going and a few family friends. 400 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,520 So we're going to hike into Machu Picchu. 401 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,800 It should be fun. 402 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,360 It's see Peru. 403 00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:29,240 It'll be at that point my second time in South America. 404 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:36,640 We should do we should do an episode where we do like a PowerPoint photo album of how 405 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,920 I spent my winter vacation. 406 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,400 I don't know if the audience would enjoy me gloating about my various trips. 407 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,400 I love it. 408 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,960 I have zero interest in hiking period. 409 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,640 Hiking Machu Picchu is it's so freeing. 410 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,240 You don't like bathing in nature, letting it seep into your bones. 411 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,520 Zero percent chance. 412 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:04,320 The people that know me well are laughing right now because they know there is zero 413 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:05,320 percent chance. 414 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,600 I run when being chased. 415 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:12,640 That is the only outside activity that I'm going to get. 416 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:13,640 Yeah. 417 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:14,960 And so I don't even know. 418 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:20,360 So I've got a big thing that's going to kick off in the first of the new year, too, that 419 00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:23,040 I don't even know if you know yet. 420 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,280 Now what do you have? 421 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:30,000 I made a bit of a I was going to say spontaneous. 422 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,040 It wasn't spontaneous. 423 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:37,560 It certainly wasn't as planned as long as some of your recent news has been planned, 424 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,400 but was was given some encouragement to do something. 425 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:46,280 And I decided to do it and see what happens and then it happened very quickly. 426 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:54,840 So middle of January, I in a couple of weeks, actually, I will be starting a doctoral of 427 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:55,840 social work program. 428 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:56,840 Oh, my. 429 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:57,840 That's really exciting. 430 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:58,840 Yeah. 431 00:26:58,840 --> 00:26:59,840 To get my DSW. 432 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:00,840 That's awesome. 433 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:01,840 Good for you. 434 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:02,840 Yeah. 435 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,920 Which is not something I had thought a whole lot about doing. 436 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:15,920 But the University of New England here in Maine started a brand new a brand new online 437 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,800 DSW program. 438 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:24,200 And I was invited to be one of the few folks going through this first cohort just to kind 439 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,240 of kick the tires of this new program. 440 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,920 And so it's it's easily going to be a two and a half. 441 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,200 I'm aiming for three years. 442 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,280 If I can get it done in three years, that would feel awesome. 443 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:41,080 So sometime in the twenty twenty eight world. 444 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,400 But to be a doctoral doctor of social work. 445 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,400 Awesome. 446 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,400 Yeah. 447 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,480 Do you have something that you're planning on focusing on? 448 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,960 Yeah, that's a great question. 449 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:56,300 So this particular program really focuses on intercollaborational leadership. 450 00:27:56,300 --> 00:28:00,160 So it's really designed for folks who are in leadership positions. 451 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,720 And then there's a couple of tracks. 452 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,800 There's a clinical track or a track for teaching. 453 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,080 So for a professorship. 454 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:14,040 And so I decided to go the clinical track, given that I'm still like I've got feet solidly 455 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,600 planted in that direct service world still. 456 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,520 And so you have to do what's called a capstone. 457 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:26,500 So over the course of your program, you're kind of working towards this thing, this project. 458 00:28:26,500 --> 00:28:31,640 And so I don't quite know what that thing is, but maybe bringing this conversation full 459 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:36,400 circle with being part of resistance and resilience. 460 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:44,160 My proposal I put forth is really continuing to evolve affirming practices for working 461 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:50,520 with LGBTQ plus citizens, community members and whether that is a focus on youth, whether 462 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:55,420 that's a focus on across the age span, I don't know. 463 00:28:55,420 --> 00:29:01,440 But I absolutely think as we talked about that it is going to be more important than 464 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:07,920 ever before to ensure that people coming into the behavioral health workforce have the skill 465 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:15,480 set they need to effectively partner with, collaborate with, treat, enter into some treatment 466 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,880 relationships with queer folks. 467 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:27,200 So something along that vein of inspiring others to serve the community better. 468 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,960 That's really awesome. 469 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:29,960 That's so cool. 470 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:34,320 I don't know what that's going to look like, but UNE seemed to think it was cool. 471 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,560 So I was invited to, yeah. 472 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:41,080 So what's also kind of cool is that you and I will kind of be starting this next phase 473 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,240 of our academic journeys kind of together. 474 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,240 That's really cool. 475 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,240 Yeah. 476 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:48,240 Wow, I didn't know that. 477 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:49,240 Yeah. 478 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,240 What a shock. 479 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,240 So I'm excited. 480 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,240 I'm excited. 481 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,960 We both have this kind of new academic venture coming in the year ahead. 482 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:59,680 Yeah, it'll be fun to kind of compare some notes. 483 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:07,280 Yeah, I think it's kind of amusing that we started the episode to some extent, disagreeing 484 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,560 with New Year's changes. 485 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:10,560 Yeah. 486 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,120 As then we're wrapping it up with... 487 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,240 And then we just tripled down on all of it. 488 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,280 Massive changes happening in the new year. 489 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:19,280 Yeah. 490 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,200 Yeah, you've got some huge travel. 491 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:28,760 You've got some huge starting your academic, your post high school academic career. 492 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,720 I don't think I'm doing a whole lot of travel. 493 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,000 Although I am traveling next year, I've been invited to do some presentations in other 494 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,000 states. 495 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,000 Oh, that's really fun. 496 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,000 So we're actually... 497 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,000 Yeah. 498 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,000 Amping up that career. 499 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,000 Yeah. 500 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:47,120 So I'm going to be doing a keynote for a conference happening in Ohio later this spring on Queer 501 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,240 Joy, which is something we've talked about. 502 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:55,000 And actually, I think that episode is kind of what got folks thinking about, we need 503 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,880 pediatric social workers to be embracing this idea. 504 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:07,240 And then I'll be presenting and being an exhibitor at the School Social Work Association of America 505 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,520 conference, which is going to be in Atlanta this spring. 506 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:17,340 So I'll be there for three or four days, rubbing elbows with other school social work folks 507 00:31:17,340 --> 00:31:21,400 and leaders in social work and talking about allyship to queer youth. 508 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:22,400 That's awesome. 509 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,400 At that. 510 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:28,320 So we're going to have some really kind of cool adventures to bring folks into in the 511 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,360 new year ahead. 512 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:31,960 Yes. 513 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,440 Very exciting season. 514 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:41,600 I think optimistic, looking forward, wrapping it up, looking forward to doing more episodes 515 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,400 for you guys. 516 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,160 Maybe inspire a broader audience next season. 517 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,160 Yeah. 518 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,160 Invite some more guests. 519 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:54,360 I think you and I both agree that we shine when we're allowing other people to shine. 520 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,360 Yes. 521 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,280 And that kind of shine contagion is happening. 522 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:04,400 I want to invite our listeners to continue to reach out to Soren and I. 523 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:10,080 Our email, inspiredinsights at
