Naming What Saved Me

Josie sits down with Naomi Avalo, her performance in January 2026 in Denver left the audience reeling from misconceptions of how mental health disorders are misrepresented not only in media, but in our own communities.

Idiopathic

Josie sits down with Alice Gillette, her performance in March of 2025 in Denver Colorado is a telling of abuse, medical idiocy, and what happens when you grow into a clown who's handled their trauma.

She continues to inspire even through the hardest times in her life.

The Lone Monster

Josie sits down with Taylor Marxhausen Greenlee, her performance in July of 2025 in Denver Colorado is a reminder that 2020 shook the state of our realities. All of us in our own ways. Join us as Taylor shows us that when life hands you a lemon, you love it, show up for it, create a life for it, and don't hold back from screaming into the void.
