EXPLORING AWARENESS
"Find Peace and Joy in the most unlikely places". Season One Season One of the Exploring Awareness Podcast provides listeners a dual learning opportunity. First, to learn about and, through guided meditations, experience Mindful Awareness, Being and Presence and the innate Peace, Joy, Compassion that come from this practice. Starting with the first episode and listening through to episode 62, you will increasingly understand how a Mindful Awareness perspective connects one back to the essence of being. Secondly, listeners will witness the awakening of the co-host Lisa Barry, a long-time on-air radio broadcast interviewer for her local NPR station. Witness her awakening as she questions, struggles, and then integrates these concepts and practices until her untimely death. Episode 63, grieving her death, is an example of applying Mindful Awareness to grief, with the help of David Whyte’s poem, The Well of Grief. Lisa called this process a “Big Fun Journey”, and although the process of awakening can be difficult, you will see that realizing the expansiveness and freedom from knowing one’s authentic self transforms the day-to-day concerns of a pre-occupied mind into Presence and Being. From our original description- Join Lisa Barry, a long-time on-air radio broadcast interviewer and Frank Anderson MD MPH professor at the University of Michigan Medical School and School of Public Health on a journey to explore ways that provide another approach to look at and deal with life to enjoy each day as it unfolds- whatever happens. Learn from lively discussions as two people on a path of self-discovery, share conversations about mindfulness and other techniques and decide for yourself if a shift in perspective can lead to a more authentic life experience informed by an innate and ever-present peace, joy, generosity and love. This podcast is a resource for those interested in starting a journey to deeper meaning in life and who may be looking for a unique way to get started. Experienced Mediators, or those who have never tried...burned out professionals, overwhelmed students and anyone exploring the issues of sexual, gender and racial identities will find tools to increase comfort and personal agency.

THE CORSETS AND CODPIECES PODCAST
A look at the differences between men’s and women’s clothes using fashion history. Why are men's and women's clothes different? Any piece of clothing is just cloth until we, as humans, assign meaning to it. These meanings are fluid and changing all the time. Things that seem so concrete now, weren’t always that way. I want to dive deep and see why we have these meanings and deconstruct them. Knowing where these meanings come from can allow each person to decide for themselves if the meanings hold value for them, hopefully allowing more freedom in dress.
