Shane's Shorts - Men's Mental Health Awareness Month

Shane's Shorts - Men's Mental Health Awareness Month

June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month so I thought I'd take a moment to acknowledge some of the mental health challenges men face. No matter who you are, it's ok to ask for help. And having emotions is a natural part of being a human being. #authenticity [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/authenticity] #itstimetobeyou [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/itstimetobeyou] #sphproductions [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sphproductions] #men [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/men] #mentalhealth [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/mentalhealth] #weakness [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/weakness] #menhavefeelingstoo [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/menhavefeelingstoo] #mensmentalhealthawareness [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/mensmentalhealthawareness]

Being YOU! Season 4, Episode 10: Roundtable

Based on the amazing feedback from last season, we decided to bring back the roundtable discussion. Our conversation revolved around the intersection of mental health challenges and being part of the LGBTQ+ community. This time, my panel of guests included Phoebe Weng, Isabel, Serafin, and Andrew Robertson. They shared personal stories about their own experiences with being queer, gave feedback on mental health challenges within the community, and offered feedback on suggestions on how to help others find resources and improve their mental health. And of course, we touched on authenticity throughout the conversation.    This was another open and real discussion with some really great people! Thank you all for participating, sharing, laughing, and offering feedback on something that impacts most (if not all) members of our community. I am VERY appreciative! This Season's Authenticity Ambassador is the Transgender Center of the Rockies. Check them out at transgendercenteroftherockies.org A big THANK YOU to all of our sponsors this season!

Shane's Shorts - Benefits of Self Pleasure

In this video I discuss the often "taboo" topic of masturbation. I talk about the benefits of pleasuring oneself...such as stress reduction, improved sleep, and a deeper connection to one's own body. I strongly believe that when we allow ourselves to talk openly about things, we minimize shame, misunderstandings, and ignorance associated with those things. There is nothing "wrong" with masturbation if it is a personal choice, no one is being harmed by it or forced to participate, and you are doing what is aligned with your own personal preferences and beliefs. #authenticity [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/authenticity] #itstimetobeyou [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/itstimetobeyou] #sphproductions [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sphproductions] #masturbation [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/masturbation] #selfpleasure [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/selfpleasure] #orgasm [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/orgasm] #ecstacy [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/ecstacy] #mentalhealth [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/mentalhealth] #connection [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/connection] #release [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/release] #benefits [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/benefits]

Shane's Shorts - Pride Month

June is Pride Month so I thought I'd share a bit of info on the history, types of celebrations, and the civil rights movement of the LGBTQ+ community. We have been fighting for our rights, equality, and the right to be who we are for generations. And there is still more work to do. Keep fighting, be yourselves, and be proud of who you are! Happy Pride Month! #authenticity [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/authenticity/shorts] #itstimetobeyou [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/itstimetobeyou/shorts] #sphproductions [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sphproductions/shorts] #pride [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/pride/shorts] #lgbtq [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/lgbtq/shorts] #stonewall [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/stonewall/shorts] #riots [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/riots/shorts] #civilrightsmovement [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/civilrightsmovement/shorts] #celebration [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/celebration/shorts] #proud [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/proud/shorts] #loveislove [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/loveislove/shorts]

Shane's Shorts - The Naked Body

We all come into this world naked. And under the clothes and adornments we wear, it's all we have. We judge ourselves and others, strive for a "perfection" that does NOT exist, and are often shamed about our bodies and how we present them. Remember this: Every body is different...and beautiful! Love yourself and your body. #authenticity [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/authenticity] #itstimetobeyou [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/itstimetobeyou] #sphproductions [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sphproductions] #body [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/body] #naked [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/naked] #confidence [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/confidence] #empathy [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/empathy] #dignity [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/dignity] #imperfection [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/imperfection]
