The one in which we explore what Labor Day is all about.
ReThinking Policing
It’s the last Tuesday of the month which means it’s time for Shrinks After Hours! That’s us Shrinks (Julie Mayer and Cindy Ariel), chatting After Hours about things we believe are important to chat about. In this After Hours episode we’re chatting about what re-imagined community safety could look like. Join us as we re-think and re-imagine policing and public safety.
Dying for Freedom
The one in which we learn about the great sacrifices Black people have made fighting in all major wars for the United States, and the thanks they got for it.
Segregation
Matriarchal Societies
The one in which we explore what a matriarchal society might look like. We also take a look at how the patriarchy showed up and dismantled some of the First People’s successful matriarchal/matrilineal organizational systems.
Critical Race Theory
The one in which we explore what critical race theory actually is and why it’s at the center of so much controversy right now.
Challenging Conspiracies
It’s time for our monthly After Hours conversation! This month we talk about how to talk to conspiracy theorists or people with cult-like beliefs.
Antebellum Era
The one in which we talk about why it’s a better idea to find a different party theme than Antebellum or a different celebration venue than a plantation. There’s a horrid past behind that beautiful landscape.
Viral Inequities
An After Hours session with Allison Gibbs, LCSW (Therapy Concierge, LLC) focusing on the Coronavirus health disparities highlighted in the news. We first debunk a very offensive and baseless idea that this is because of some biological predisposition to the novel coronavirus among Black people, and talked more sanely about why these inequities truly exist and why we’re seeing them right now. Not the most lighthearted of our After Hours conversations, but it’s always a positive experience to open up in heartfelt dialog with Allison.
Facing Change
The session in which we (Cindy and Julie) move to remote podcast recording as we adapt to current obstacles and needs. We discussed the many ways we’ve been adjusting to changes we now face day to day. As we moved to shelter-in-place, we experienced many different emotions and numerous situational challenges. We’ve also been working with people from many walks of life, all of us learning to adjust to new ways of being that none of us have chosen.
