Another wonderful conversation with Indigo Wolff. We talk about Transgender Issues in a previous episode that you can find wherever you get your podcasts. Today we talk about what it's like to be a fat person living in a world not built for fat people, both in a literal and figurative sense. There's a fat tax no one talks about, there's limited seating, and the chance of paying extra to fly in an airplane. But, just as important, there isn't room for our fat friends in conversation about what it's like to be them. It might be awkward or hard to talk about it, but it's important to either let them have their say about their physical appearance or, just as valid, shut the hell up when it comes to their weight.

On top of how hard the last few years have been in general, I've been dealing with my dad being diagnosed with Alzheimer's. It's...a pretty shitty thing to deal with. I've been learning more by reading books, and that's helped a bunch. But, the thing that's made these last couple of years so bearable has been my relationship with my family. Those of us who lived on the other side of the country all moved home so we could be together through what is most likely going to be the hardest time our family has ever been through. During my time back I've reconnected with my mom over spirituality. She's been giving me yoga lessons, giving me an insight into the spiritual aspects of the practice, rather than just how to keep my shoulders from hurting all the time. I'm blessed that I get to have such deep conversations with her, and I feel like they keep us both sane through all of this.

Today we got a special double feature for ya here at Counter Culture Media. I talk to Hannah Cook about the life of traveling the country for Enduro Racing. It's the extreme sport of riding downhill on a bicycle, trying not to eat it, and doing your best to SEND IT! The second course of this info meal is all about Hannah's expertise working at Colorado Parks and Wildlife. It's a very outdoorsy episode. If you like hiking, biking, camping, and drinking, you're about to have a really good time.

Things I didn't know before my conversation with Michelle: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) wasn't around until 1990, and it really isn't very good, it seems to do the bare minimum it needs for people with disabilities to survive, and not so much to thrive. T-Mobile offered texting as a communication option for the hard of hearing years before it hit the mainstream and became our main form of communication. There's just so much about D/deaf culture that I was unaware of, and I'm super stoked that I got to talk with Michelle Richardson to make myself more aware of what life is like for the hard of hearing. Something that is neat, and not so neat as I learn talking to Michelle, is that YouTube offers automatically generated Closed Captioning for the hard of hearing. It's why I'm striving to make sure I upload a video version of my podcast for every audio version. I mean...it's literally the least I can do to make things more accessible for the hard-of-hearing community.

Feeling our feelings is scary, man. I didn't feel my feelings for...most of my life to be honest. I am a boy, and boys don't cry. Not until you really bottle stuff up and it makes you lash out on everyone you love around you and almost ruin your life. Whoops. On today's episode of Counter Culture Media, I interview the very wonderful Kris Godinez about where our reservations about getting help for our mental health comes from. To hear more from this talented woman, you can find her podcast on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHk_36kn2zDnVL-d23tE6bg. She has also written two books on psychology, 'What's Wrong With Your Dad' and 'You Can Lead A Horse To Water But You Can't Make 'Em Cha Cha: Why Some People Stay in Abuse and Some Don't' which you can find on Amazon and wherever fine books are sold. The books recommended throughout the episode for self-help are: The Inner Child Workbook by Cathryn Taylor The Self-Esteem Workbook by Glenn Schiraldi From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker The Disease to Please by Harriet Braiker Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl Support Counter Culture Media by liking and subscribing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube, Facebook, and Instagram.
