Live OUT Loud Podcast

Sarah Greenman

HOLY MOLY!! We realize we are celebrating our one-year anniversary of the podcast today!! WOO HOO!! We love doing this and we love all of you who have been supporting us along the way!! Thank you! A million moments of gratitude here. 
River + Michele chat with Sarah Greenman today. Sarah is an artist, illustrator, actor, musician, singer, facilitator, later-in-life queer Mom, and playwright (no - she can’t choose just one) based in Eastern Oregon on the traditional land of the Nimiipuu people. Her work is deeply informed by place, by nature and by seasons and cycles, which they weave into their paintings, poems, plays, and multilayered creative offerings. They are a product of their experiences. Her life flows into this body of work in practical and also magical ways. She is so grateful for the pathways, events, and preoccupations of this life that has provided the soil for the roots of this creative work to grow and spread. They've been painting, telling stories, and calling on the muses as far back as they can remember.
WE hope you enjoy this episode rooted in deep connection. 
Thanks for listening!

Just Do It July

River and Michele chat about just do it July! River has been having conversations with her clients around feeling and seeing their trauma. What are actionable steps to get rid of that feeling and heal to a point of letting go and can be overwhelming? 
Navigating trauma often begins with acknowledging vulnerability. Through courage and connection, individuals confront their pain, fostering resilience. Embracing empathy, they weave a narrative of healing, reshaping their stories with authenticity and self-compassion. Growth emerges as they reclaim power, transforming adversity into a catalyst for profound personal evolution and empathic connection with others.
We hope you enjoy this conversation... thanks for listening. 
 
Hugs, Michele + River

Friendship Across the Miles

Maintaining Friendship With Marco Polo App
Michele, River, and Samantha discussed their close friendship and how they maintain it despite geographical distance. They extensively used the Marco Polo app to share their daily lives and create a sense of familiarity. They also explored the app's group feature, with Michele advising that smaller groups of 5-6 people work best to avoid feeling overwhelmed. The trio expressed their gratitude for the app, recognizing it as a valuable tool for their friendship and recommending it to others. They also planned to create a group on the app to connect with their listeners for their podcast.
You can reach Samantha and look into her 12-week, self-led program of Unboxing your sexuality.

Laurian Gladue

River + Michele enjoy a beautiful conversation with Laurian Gladue. Laurian specializes in Ortho-Bionomy. Ortho-Bionomy is a holistic approach to healing that works with the proprioceptive aspects of the nervous system to cue the self-corrective reflexes inherent in everyone. Ortho-Bionomy uses gentle positioning and movements which can allow tension patterns that are creating pain to relax, reset, and reorganize from within. 
Then there's this whole other cool side of her where her humble spirit lives and grows within her indigenous, Cree tribe. The Cree are a North American Indigenous people. They live primarily in Canada, where they form one of the country's largest First Nations. In Canada, more than 350,000 people are Cree or have Cree ancestry.
She's training to be a facilitator for sweat lodges. This is cool because it's typically male-dominated. 
We loved this gentle conversation around a new modality and learning about her family and culture.

We hope you enjoy this episode as well.

Thanks so much for listening!

Lizzie Allan

River + Michele get the pleasure of speaking with Lizzie Allan, the creator of Hilarapy. Just think about a mash-up of therapy and comedy! She's an English creator living in BC, Canada. 
Comedy is an underrated skill. I (Michele) learned this when I had the pleasure of joining Comedy Connection to commit to it and warm up TV shows. It seems simple, bu it requires a set-up and a punchline. However, this is far more difficult than it looks. So many people want to be comics nowadays, thanks to exposure for comedians on streaming giants like Netflix, that it's truly an art to dig down deep and find an original twist on a premise. This is where comedy is so underrated. Comedy requires critical and deep thinking to find a way to surprise an audience. Lizzie has found a beautiful balance between being her authentic "OUT" self and making people smile and learn through laughter. 
We hope you all enjoy this beautiful episode.
Thanks for listening, Michele + River
