Being YOU! Season 4, Episode 9: Kaelen Strouse

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]

Being YOU! Season 4, Episode 9: Kaelen Strouse

In this episode I got to speak with Soulful Guide, Author, and Spiritual Threshold Walker - Kaelan Strouse. He shared stories about his experiences with religion, spirituality, body image, meditation, school, acting, writing books, nature, and so much more. It was a deep and meaningful conversation I think everyone should hear. Thank you Kaelen for spending some time with me and sharing your journey. I look forward to what comes next for you. #authenticity [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/authenticity] #itstimetobeyou [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/itstimetobeyou] #sphproductions [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sphproductions] #actor [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/actor] #spirituality [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/spirituality] #meditation [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/meditation] #body [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/body] #soulful [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/soulful] #author [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/author] #books [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/books] #reading [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/reading] #sex [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sex] #sexuality [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sexuality] #naked [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/naked] #nature [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nature]

Shane's Shorts - Sex vs. Intimacy

In this video I discuss the differences between sex and intimacy. I outline the definitions as well as talking about vulnerability, action vs. feeling, and various types of non-sexual intimacy. #authenticity [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/authenticity] #itstimetobeyou [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/itstimetobeyou] #sphproductions [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sphproductions] #sex [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/sex] #intimacy [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/intimacy] #vulnerability [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/vulnerability]
