Dancing With Our Defects

18 - What happens in Vegas...

Jon left the country for the first time in his life, and spent a week in Vegas! It's a big vacation for an introvert, and we wanted to chat about how it went and the inevitable, soul-crushing return to work. The hardest part about vacations? They  end. That end can come with a lot of reflection as we stare down the barrel of monotony and routine once again. Here's what some of that looked like. https://www.facebook.com/dancingwithourdefects

17 - ADHD!.....Wait, what were we talking about again?

Widely talked about, rarely understood, ADHD is among the most common neurodevelopmental disorders out there. On this episode we have our guest Jacklyn join us, who like Jon, was diagnosed as an adult. Mandy asks all kinds of questions and we laugh at how ridiculously challenging simple tasks can be for those living with ADHD. https://www.facebook.com/dancingwithourdefects

16 - My Mommy. My Monster. My Mother: A Memoir

Mandy has finished Jon's recently published memoir and she wanted to sit down and talk about it. So we did just that. For those that have read it, enjoy some personal insights. For those who have yet to do so, maybe this episode will prove why you should. https://www.facebook.com/dancingwithourdefects

15 - What the 2SLGBTQ+!?

This week we wanted to acknowledge Pride Month by learning a little more about the 2SLGBTQ+ community. As allies, we want to continue learning and expand on our understanding any way we can. Emile, a proud member of the community, joins us as we ask questions and open a dialogue on a topic surrounded by controversy, but at it's heart should be very simple: Just being yourself. https://www.facebook.com/dancingwithourdefects

14 - The Real Meaning of Life: TV and Video Games

Video games and TV have been taking flak for as long as they have been around. Video games promote violence, TV is rotting your brain, screen time is replacing social interaction; we have heard it all. However, we would argue the truth is closer to the opposite of all that. This week Jon and Mandy talk about the games and shows they love, both past and present, and all the ways these forms of art help them cope. https://www.facebook.com/dancingwithourdefects
